Hello List,

1. Please don't ask why i use windows.

2. please tell me if there is a better place to post about this.

3. i installed purr-data 2.3.2 (and other versions before) on windows 10 (x64).

gem is included but i startup i get :
GEM: image loading support: SGI

only
and i can't find a way of loading jpg or movies in gem.

if i load example pix_film opr pix_movie, i get 


verbose( 0):[pix_movie]: AVI support verbose( 0):[pix_movie]: image support

[pix_film]: unable to open file: C:/Users/PC-VonoXS/Desktop/pour josep/capture014_type1.avi
(standard dv file , that used to work on pd-extended)

but gem 93.3 is quite old , especially for glsl stuff.



even for alea.mpg or other files 
I converted an image to sgi format and it works.

so it seems there is a problem in gem plugins (except for sgi input)

any hint welcome, i can feedback if needed.

i already tried a lot of versions of gem, pd , 
such as this one https://github.com/avilleret/Gem/releases/

without success,

but it doesn't seem very far from working state.


in fact, what is the better solution to get a working and recent gem on windows?
 

Thanks 

Py
