Hey all, what is the best way to write a cross-platform video and audio external? (all OSs under MAX JMAX PD) Does flext give some API to machine specific video/audio?)
Will be starting a project to develop a video/data/audio streaming system over multicast, and ideally it would run on all the object systems above...
thoughts?

Hi Ben,
Hey all, what is the best way to write a cross-platform video and audio external? (all OSs under MAX JMAX PD) Does flext give some API to machine specific video/audio?)
I think the audio case is clear - PD or Max/MSP gives you the API to your machine which is again abstracted by flext. Concerning video, flext has no corresponding API, since video is not a part of the kernel of both systems and can therefore hardly be accessed by using a an abstraction layer like flext. My looks into the future about that go into the direction of an extended kernel incorporating video in a way similar to DSP. (you may possibly want to have a look at gstreamer, a video/audio system for gnome)
best greetings, Thomas
hi,
tom shouten is trying to get pdp running on osx and if there were input and output modules the basic system would surely also run on win. so a good approach would be to abstract pdp using flext and then instantiate from this. thats something i am just now kid of working on (or i would be if i had time).
