Hello,

On old patch, I used pix_film to load images. I can't make it work anymore on a new computer. Images can be loaded with pix_image, but sometime it's simpler to be able to load image or movie with the same object.

./configure gives :

  film-support
    use AVFoundation     : no
    use AVI              : no
    use aviplay          : yes
    use DirectShow       : no
    use FFMPEG           : yes
    use gmerlin          : yes
    use mpeg             : no
    use mpeg-3           : yes
    use QuickTime        : yes

In pd log i've got : GEM: film loading plugins: MPEG3 aviplay ffmpeg gmerlin quicktime4linux

but surprisingly, pix_film backend list is :

[pix_film]: loader[0] gmerlin
[pix_film]: loader[1] quicktime4linux
[pix_film]: loader[2] MPEG3
[pix_film]: loader[3] aviplay
[pix_film]: loader[4] ffmpeg
[pix_film]: loader[5] image

Loading the image fail, even if I try to send "backend image"

loading the image with pix_image is working.

I'm using Gem current Git, on ubuntu mate.

So, what should be made in order to have this image loading in pix_film back?

cheers

Cyrille
