Ok, I seemed to have fixed the prob! Was my bad patching I think, sorry I'm a total newb at this!
Rather than copy & pasting all the of the GEM objects (on the left) I was linking to the 1st gamepad key and recycling them for the 2nd key I want to use, I just used the same pix_movie object for both buttons. I've attatched the patch so you can see what I mean!
Thanks J

pix_movie encompasses both the pix_film and pix_texture objects. You need to use both of the latter to replace pix_movie. The likely reason you are not seeing video is because the images are not being uploaded as textures.

Chris,
Substituting pix_film for pix_movie brings on the previously discussed rendering problems.
I'm not sure if you meant for me to try pix_texture in the same place, but when I did I got the following messages immediately:
gamepad_input.pd 44 0 59 1 (gatom->pix_texture) connection failed gamepad_input.pd 59 1 39 0 (pix_texture->unpack) connection failed gamepad_input.pd 59 2 43 0 (pix_texture->bng) connection failed
And I got the following messages when trying to use the patch to open a video:
pix_texture: not using client storage error: pix_texture: no method for 'open'
Despite some of the messages above, the gamepad input worked fine all the time.

If you substitute pix_film and pix_texture for pix_movie does it do the same thing? There is a problem that I introduced recently with turning rendering on and off, but that should not be in the released version of GEM 0.90.

Ok, I've attached my patch so far...be prepared for some obvious mistakes I expect!...i'm very new to this!
I think I may have found the problem...The rendering problems begin when I try to add more than one set of GEM objects. In the working patch I've included, you'll see that I have mapped a playstation controller to act as a video trigger. I'm looking to have more than one channel of video, hopefully 4 or 5, which will each be triggered by different gamepad keys. So what I was doing was copy & pasting the working set of GEM objects and linking them to a separate controller key. This is when the problems start.
Many thanks, Jonathan
