Hmmm, I'm not sure how I would approach that in Gem, seems like maybe more of a PDP/gridflow thing...

alpha blended together, everything on the same screen. It doesn't even have to be alpha blended, tho that would be nice. It could just choose the first pixel that isn't black.

Define "mix"?
Do you mean alpha blended on top of one and other, or do you mean placed side by side? The more videos you get the smaller the videos become?

I want to build a program which takes a flexible number of videos and mixes them all to one output. Basically, I want to be able to start and stop playing any video at any time and have everything mixed into one screen.
This is for a cafeteria that all of the walls and ceiling are covered in 50,000 LEDs. Its not quite a video screen, since the pixels are 3"/8cm square, but it should allow for some crazy stuff (more info later, as the project progresses). All of these LEDs are mapping to a video-in. The idea is that someone could make a video for one section of the cafeteria and it could be played at the same time as someone else's video for a different section. Think of trying to curate a giant video frame by divvying out sections of the screen to a open-ended number of people.
(this doesn't have to happen in Pd, by the way, but it would be nice if it did).

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of everyone, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it." - Thomas Jefferson
