Is there anyway to play an animated gif with GEM or gridflow? I heard that GEM has support for gif's with gmerlin-avdecoder. It seems to behave like the gif format is supported, but then perhaps gmerlin crashes? I couldn't even get gmerlin to play a gif outside of PD, with its command line tools. Here is some of the output from the console:
pix_film:: gmerlin support [pix_film]: opening /home/tony/Downloads/burger.gif with format 1908 [pix_film]: ... [pix_film]: loaded file: /home/tony/Downloads/burger.gif with 1667013560 frames (80x100) at 1.000000 fps GEM: Only using 8 color bits GEM: Direct Rendering enabled! GEM: GLEW version 1.5.1 GEM: Start rendering GL: invalid enumerant GEM: Stop rendering GEM: Direct Rendering enabled! GEM: GLEW version 1.5.1 GEM: Start rendering GL: invalid enumerant
I installed gmerlin, gmerlin-acdecoder, gem and puredata all from source on Arch Linux. If anyone has any idea how I can get a gif to play in pure data any way please let me know.
