it seems also that pix_film doesn't "fire" events when sending the same frame number repeatedly into the right inlet (like if i switch on the metro in attached patch, nothing happens).
What you describe is gloriously inefficient since the frame has been decoded, processed and sent to the GPU already.
also i need to now the current time of the movie
(preferably quicktime time refering to the movie's timebase, or milliseconds, or otherwise frame number could do as well). like something equivalent to the [gettime( message with [jit.qt.movie]. i only see a static output for the films's dimension and an end-of-file bang...
Why do you need this?
is it possible to specify looppoints for the movies?
Yes, using the total number of frames in the movie sent to the middle outlet when the film loads. Use a counter object to set the start and stop frame of the loop between 0 and the total frames of the film.
