Hi Roman, all,
Dear August
In case you read this, please state your intentions regarding the further maintenance of [readanysf~]. We consider the external abandoned and we plan to host it under the umbrella of the pd-externals group.
I hate to say it, but it is unlikely I'll have time to attend to [readanysf~ ] anymore.
It has been more than a decade and I've started to use the web for most things these days.
I would love it if there was a general media IO solution for PD that can read all kinds of file formats from all kinds of transports (file, web, etc). Could be optional at build time.
I hadn't known that gavl/gmerlin is still being maintained. The website looks defunct. That's good news, I guess.
I'm wondering if it would make more sense to depend on gstreamer, however. It will likely be more stable over time, not to mention more flexible. Any movement with pdgst?
best -august
