Hi
I run linux (ubuntu 7.10) and pd-extended installed from Pd-0.39.3-extended-debian-testing-i386.deb
I have some experience with pd, but none with video. I hooked up my phillips webcam and dmesg tels me it's connected to /dev/video0. Skype shows video from this device just fine.
However I can't get it going in pd. I tried running the examples/pdp/input_output.pd patch, and I briefly see a black window, then pd dies with this in the terminal:
atte@ajstrup:~$ pd tk scaling is 1.18830409357 <init> : Avifile RELEASE-0.7.47-070916-12:47-4.1.3 <init> : Available CPU flags: fpu vme de pse tsc msr mce cx8 sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 tm pbe up bts est tm2 <init> : 1600.00 MHz Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1600MHz detected X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) Major opcode of failed request: 143 (GLX) Minor opcode of failed request: 5 (X_GLXMakeCurrent) Serial number of failed request: 32 Current serial number in output stream: 32 socket receive error: Connection reset by peer (104)
Am I on the right track? I want to grab some video from the cam, and based on "something" in the image send out OSC. I don't know what "something" is yet, need to play with it, but I have the idea of the audience influence the music (which is running in ChucK). Am I still on the right track?
