hello,
it's a bit out of topic, but I recently noticed strange behaviors of [pix_video] on differents macbookpro running with osx moutain lion and latest release of pd-extended. For [pix_video] [dialog( make pd crash (not always) when trying to switch between different video devices (actually we were unable to change the video device, ant the default one was not always the built-in camera) I noticed on one of the computers that [enumerate( does work only when no usb camera where plugged in As for pix_record [codeclist( didn't output any codec list and we couldn't set any codec either
hope this help stéfan

Hmm, I do have the latest version but I guess I didn't check the help patch thoroughly...which is there to give insight. I'm sorry, should have checked better. The [device $1( did it eventually. Thanks a lot.

ha,
which version of Gem do you have ? here is the latest help patch for pix_video,
take a look at [enumerate( with which you will have the list of available devices and driver then [device $1( may help to choose the right one and then [enumProps( to get its properties and [set(, [get( and other [*Props( messages...
you don't need dialog to setup camera, as a proof, there isn't any dialog on Linux and we use camera everyday...
cheers

Don't really get it. I'm sending [enumProps( to [pix_video], but if I do that before anything else I get the following error message: [pix_video]: cannot enumerate properties without a valid video-device If I set the desired camera via [dialog( I get nothing... What I wanna do is use a PS3 eye camera for a live performance, but I'd rather use Pd -nogui. The only way though I can choose this camera is to first create and render a [gemwin], destroy it and then send [dialog( to [pix_video], which won't be possible without the gui. So, to put my initial question in other words, how is it possible to set a camera other than the built in, without the gui?

hi,
All camera settings should be available through [pix_video] it self without dialog. Try sending [enumProps( and [pix_video] should send all readable and writeable properties.

With midi or audio you can send Pd a message on load which you get either with [get-midi-dialog] and [get-audio-dialog] or by connecting [r pd] to [print], then go to midi/audio settings and press ok. This gives you the message you have to send so you can use these settings immediately (say, if you use pd -nogui). What about using a camera other than the built-in? You can set that by sending [dialog( to [pix_video], but is it possible to set it by sending Pd a message? If so, where do you get this message from?
