Hi there,
you should mention the version of Pd and Gem you are running, and make the effort to narrow it down a little bit. What elements cause the crash in the patch? Does it happen straigt away, on loading, after a few days, with or without the PdMtl abs, MIDI... Is the mac mini a PPC machine? is upgrading to 10.6 an option you could try (with booting from an FW drive with a system on it if you wanna try first)... Anyways, it runs fine here, but i have the same specs as your laptop. I doubt it has anything to do with pix_movie over pix_film.

I’ve been working trying to fix a Puredata patch that uses MIDI input from an external device to control playback of 2 movies that are displayed in a single GEM window. I have been able to get the patch working properly on my own computer (a 2.53GHz MacBook Pro with OSX 10.6.3) but can’t get it to work on the computer where the patch needs to run (a 1.66GHz MacMini with OSX 10.5).
I’ve read through the forums and archives and based on the input I have created several version of the patch (all of them have crashed on the MacMini). I couldn’t find any instance of a bug report documenting this issue so I decided to add it here.
I’ve posted my code, two different approaches each with the associated full crash reports. In the first approach I use two separate Gemheads to control the movies; in the second approach I use a single Gemhead to control both movies.
Please note that the download is quite large (100MB). The reason being, I have included videos in the zip files so that the application can run properly. One more important note, you need to install pdmtl in order to run the patch (as I use one of their abstractions in my patches).

Any help is greatly appreciated. _______________________________________________ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
