Re: [PD] flext on os X
by Loic Kessous 05 Mar '09

05 Mar '09

Hi, oups..... sorry I missed it... As I said everything is OK on os X for building flex, and I also can build a copied/modified version of the simple1 tutorial (called simplo1 with a 'o') to test my installation., and everything is ok. I did the same thing on linux ubuntu hardy , and I also been able to build flex, and the same copy of simple1, but when using it I get this bug : - if I open the help file for simple1 , or even one that I edited in text mode to change simple1 to simplo1 , bot of them are working. - BUT if I try to create one of them from scratch, by just doing: File > new, Put>object and typing the name , then Pd is out of order and I just can quit it. (Pd-extended 0.40.3) the ubuntu is running on a AMD 64 bit, running a 32 bit ubuntu hardy (and except this bug everything seems ok) I remember that for the optimisation flag in the config file when I installed flex, I didn't changed the 'pentium4' suggested because most of the other things that installed where also described as 'this is for intel' but where working. could it be this? should I re-install flext again by let it blank ? or put something instead of 'pentium4' ? and what? loic On Mar 4, 2009, at 9:01 PM, Thomas Grill wrote: > Hi Loic, > please direct all flext-related mails to the mailing list. > > > Am 04.03.2009 um 19:53 schrieb Loic Kessous: > >> >> I suppose if I was connected as root this would have not be a >> problem but I wonder if it would not be a problem then to run >> it...I don't know... >> >> anyway, this may help others to add the precision somewhere >> build.txt or somewher else. >> > > did you check out flext from the svn (which is the latest version)? > It's all in build.txt, just below the install commands. > > gr~~~ >

pd~ to sync audio/video
by Max 05 Mar '09

05 Mar '09

hi list, i am trying out if the pd~ object is an alternative for sync playback of audio and video to the “traditional” method of using two instances of pd talking to each other by netserver/netclient. so the situation is that we need one pd instance with audio on and one without for gem. because audio needs to run without dropouts in the first process, while gem will run in the second process. to run the video in the parent process and the audio in the subprocess with pd~ doesn't work, because the main process needs audio on. (see pd~ helppatch the last lines) to run the audio in the parent process and the video in the subprocess using pd~ -noutsig 0 -ninsig 0 doesn't work because pd freezes when using these parameters on pd~ when using pd~-noutsig 0 it does work, but only if the subprocess will switch its dsp computing on for a moment it can be switched of afterwards. is it a good idea at all to use pd~ for that purpose or should i stick to the netserver/netclient solution? m.

streaming audio and video in Linux
by John Harrison 04 Mar '09

04 Mar '09

Somebody was just asking me about options for streaming audio and video in Pd-extended. I wouldn't mind help with the answer. Here's what I have gathered so far. Audio: * streamin~ and streamout~ --- but the help patches don't seem to work in Linux. Seems to work ok in windows. * netsend~ and netreceive~ --- not provided in pd-extended and seemed a bit flaky when I tried them before. * mp3streamin~ and mp3streamout~ --- help patch missing in pd-extended but seem to work ok outside of Windows. * mp3cast~ and friends: seems to work ok if you have a shoutcast server... Video: * I couldn't find anything in Gem to stream video. Did I miss it? I was wondering if using pix_pix2sig~, streaming as audio, then pix_sig2pix~ might work. * in pdp/pidip there's pdp_i and pdp_o. I didn't find help patches for these in pd_extended * also in pdp/pidip there's some other's pdp_mp4live~ etc. I suspect the ffserver-based ones don't work in pd-extended. Not sure on the others. For either audio or video maybe there's a way to send to vlc through the stdin or stdout, then let vlc do the streaming? -John -- John Harrison http://alumni.media.mit.edu/~harrison

evaluate 3d iterative structures
by simeon cosik 04 Mar '09

04 Mar '09

Hello, how can i evaluate 3d structures generated in puredata to know if it can support itself if i build it in reality? for example imagine that each structure is conformed by a group of boxes one over the others made with "repeat",i would like to add gravity and weight to all the boxes so i can i calculate the threshold that i need to maintain in order to avoid the collapse of my structure. Is this can be done with pmpd? Any idea? Simeon -- simeon cosik simeon_cosik(a)fastmail.fm -- http://www.fastmail.fm - I mean, what is it about a decent email service?

Re: [PD] pd-extended on ubuntu intrepid: troubles
by Ilias Anagnostopoulos 04 Mar '09

Hey Athos, I don't remember if there is a menu item coming with the package. If not, just start it from the terminal by typing: pd and pressing enter. You can manually add a menu item if there isn't one with the package, at least until I (or anybody else) find enough time to add one and update the package. You are running Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid, aren't you? -Ilias > Date: Tue, 03 Mar 2009 15:28:36 +0100 > From: Athos Bacchiocchi <athos.bacchiocchi(a)tin.it> > Subject: Re: [PD] pd-extended on ubuntu intrepid: troubles > To: pd-list(a)iem.at > Message-ID: <49AD3E94.6020709(a)tin.it> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed > > Ilias Anagnostopoulos ha scritto: > >> Hello Athos, >> >> The packages of Puredata (Ubuntu Repos) and Pd-extended are made in such >> a way that only one can be installed at any given time.

I don't know why anyone still uses iem.kug.ac.at... is it an old address?

It's best to use my hacked version because none of the other versions can't handle flow-control properly. Second you need to figure out the wire protocol. Serial port is called serial port because it's using the RS-232 protocol, but this protocol has many variants and they are not autodetected. For example, you may have to say: speed 9600 bits/second, 8 data bits per byte, 1 stop bit per byte, no parity, CTS/RTS flow-control. Third you need to figure out the application protocol. The printer's manual may say, for example, that it's an Epson-compatible printer, or it may have a switch between Epson-compatible and a different mode. Old manuals often give you a list of all commands you can do on that printer, especially because they often offer extensions to the standard protocol they are basing themselves on, or sometimes because they have a completely different protocol. Most of those printers are based on escape-sequences starting with the escape-code ("ascii" # 27), which may sound familiar, but those sequences are not related with any of the screen-and-keyboard escape-sequences (VT/ANSI) used on BBSes and unix operating systems. _ _ __ ___ _____ ________ _____________ _____________________ ... | Mathieu Bouchard - tél:+1.514.383.3801, Montréal, Québec

Hello Athos, The packages of Puredata (Ubuntu Repos) and Pd-extended are made in such a way that only one can be installed at any given time. This is due to conflict issues. -Ilias > Message: 4 > Date: Tue, 03 Mar 2009 14:23:07 +0100 > From: Athos Bacchiocchi <athos.bacchiocchi(a)tin.it> > Subject: [PD] pd-extended on ubuntu intrepid: troubles > To: PD list <pd-list(a)iem.at> > Message-ID: <49AD2F3B.9040207(a)tin.it> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-15; format=flowed > > hi, > > I installed pd on ubuntu intrepid from official repositories through > installer manager, and everything worked fine.
