GEM needs to be updated to use a different video backend as QuickTime is no longer available. This has been a known issue for years...
In the meantime, there is no solution but to downgrade to 10.11 as QT is no longer present on 10.12.
In the longer term, I have a working pix_film using the newer framework, AVFoundation, ported from OpenFrameworks but there are some performance issues I haven’t figured out yet. Once that’s ironed out I’ll port the video grabber next.
It would be nice to get some development help on this, but it looks like in the end it’s up to me. Note, this is not a high priority for me right now.

I also want to know how to solve the problem.

Hello there
I work with PD on macbook pro - macOS Sierra.
My built-in camera is not working with puredata since I have updated the OS to Sierra. When I use [pix_video] I get the error below:
could not make new SG channnel error -9405 [pix_video]: no valid video backend found
Any solutions?
Thank you! Yousif

I have a working pix_film using the newer framework, AVFoundation,
unaware this was working. code pushed to github? i would be interested in testing but unfortunately have no time (or skills) for this kind of dev work.
i am surprised that you are the only one working on this... shame because it seems if a group was organized to complete it would actually get done.
thanks for the work you have put in

It’s not on my Github fork yet as it *works* but there is a memory leak, so Pd crashes after about a minute of playback. Should be a simple fix, but I didn’t find it yet and there may be a workaround that requires a partial rewrite.

maybe push "as is"?
question: could Gem plugins be developed independently of Gem main repo?
meaning right now the whole repo is forked to work on one plugin which seems overkill. would it make sense to split plugins from main repo, work on it (can this be built independent of Gem?), push, and then main repo is treated as submodule...
just an organizational thought which may make it easier for others to contribute other than dan?

well, i guess the proper way is to make the plugins become "git submodules" of the main Gem repository rather than the other way round.
there is nothing that says that a plugin must reside in Gem/plugins/. all the relevant headers are exported/installed, so you should be able to start plugin development without having to fork Gem at all.
apart from that, i don't see any compelling reason what a git-submodule approach would solve. Gem is not a small repository, but then it is not exactly big either (45MB).
if you want your plugins to become part of Gem itself, it's probably easier to just keep the current development model. if you think your plugins don't fit into Gem proper, use separate repositories.
having said that, i think that the proprietary plugins (videoPYLON, videoHALCON, videoOptiTrack) should probably be factored out into separate repositories.

which i think is generally a good idea. personally i'm much more interested in half working code (that i can read/learn from) than fully working promises.

I did. It’s in the “avfoundation” branch of my fork of Gem on github.
I opened a Work In Progress PR for discussing the changes so far: https://github.com/umlaeute/Gem/pull/135 https://github.com/umlaeute/Gem/pull/135

Maybe, but Github makes working via forks very easy, especially with the PR mechanism. Oftentimes, lots of submodules are more hassle then they are worth. Besides, you need to test against the current version of Gem and whatever changes it has, so you’d have to keep that up to date as well.

*works* but there is a memory leak, so Pd crashes after about a minute
of playback.
got it compiled and crash confirmed... cool that it works though!
how to track this down?
btw if i change from [gemglutwindow] to [gemcocoawindow] i get a totally different type of pd freakout.... GL: invalid framebuffer operation, glitching, etc
