Hey August,
I'm really enjoying readanysf~, its been doing a good job of playing
streams, movies, audio files, etc. The original .mov files that were
crashing Pd no longer do, they give me this text to the Pd window
instead. I don't know what kind of feedback you get from gavl, but I
think it would be really useful if there were separate error/warning
messages for "still buffering" of a stream versus the "unsupported
codec" from these movies. Here's the current text:
Current file is either invalid or still starting. 0
This probably means that it is a stream and it needs to buffer in from
the network.
Also, I found a new movie that crashes things. It plays in VLC and
mplayer, so maybe its a separate issue:
