HI,
I just compiled the GEM-master from git. I want to stream what I have in VLC in GEM via to pix_video. I'm in linux, opensuse 12.3, puredata vanilla 0.44.0, and GEM-master downloaded form git today.
However I'm not able to get it work. I'm puzzled. How does this work? I've tried the to send the message [device screen://( to [pix_video] but I've got nothing on the screen and the following message:
Cannot open '': 2, No such file or directory v4l: failed opening device: 'screen://' videoDC1394: no cameras found
Here is the output I've got when pix_video is running using the 04.video patch.
[pix_video]: backend #0='v4l2' : v4l2 analog [pix_video]: backend #1='v4l' : v4l analog [pix_video]: backend #2='dc1394' : dc1394 iidc [pix_video]: backend #3='vlc' : vlc
When the fourth backend is hit 'vlc' I've got:
Cannot open '/dev/video3': 2, No such file or directory v4l: failed opening device: '/dev/video3' videoDC1394: no cameras found
This is the output when GEM starts:
