Hi IOhannes,

a solution for you would be: generate thumbnails from your videos via an off-pd script (choose your favourite tool) use one of the tcl/tk image-loading externals (don't ask me for a specific library; i don't know it, but most likely there are several of them (iemgui being one of them; no idea where to get a compiled version for osx (and whether it works on osx at all))) to load the thumbnails into your patch; depending on the object it might react on clicks or you have to put a [bng] below it...
of course this is rather non-dynamic.
It could be dynamic if you used [shell] to call "your favorite tool" to generate a thumbnail and then load it with toxy or whatever.
Can anyone recommend a Linux/Unix/OSX script for a "favorite tool" that could dynamically generate thumbnails?
best, d.
