I've been able to reproduce the bug.
See attached patch.
The metro opens the same 2 files, it works for 30 seconds, the RAM doesn't grow, and then Pd says
error: GemImageLoad: Unable to find file.
And then, if I want to save my example patch, Pd says :
error : too many open files.

Is this a bug of pix_image ? Is there a limit of opened files somewhere ?
How can I avoid that ?

Thanks.

David

Objet : [PD] pix_image and pix_film : Unable to find files after two hours

Hi list,

I have a serious issue with a patch that loads and displays images and films sequentially in a loop of about 5 min.
Everything works fine, but after two hours, we got blank screen and Pd says : [pix_image] : Unable to find file ...
The path displayed is always the correct one, so the files exist, but Gem can't find it.
Any idea of what is going on ?
This occurs for almost every instance of pix_image and pix_film. (one .avi seems to survive each time)
I'm on windows 7 64bits with pd-extended 0.42.5 anf Gem 0.92.3

Any advice would be very very appreciated.

Thanks !

David
