Hello,

I'm trying the help-patch for pix_freeframe. pix_freeframe gets created and puts out some information about the loaded plugin, but everytime I give it some data to its argument inlets I get: error: pix_freeframe: no instance of plugin available.

I'm using [pix_video] as video source with ieee1394 camera (PAL) instead of [pix_film] and tried several freeframe plugins I could find, the original plugin 'WaveVFX' in the help patch wasn't available. When pix_video is directly connected to a pix_texture I can see that pix_video is working properly.

Gem currently doesn't come with any FreeFrame binaries. you can get a (free) plugin package e.g. by downloading http://downloads.sourceforge.net/freeframe/FreeFrame1.0-05.zip

afaics this includes a "PeteWave.dll" which i think is the same as WaveVFX (i don't know why they chose different names for linux and w32 binaries).

so: get the zip-file, extract it, add the path containing the dll's (something like "<FreeFrame>/plugins") to Pd's search-path (or just copy the dll's into a place already searched by Pd) and instantiate [pix_freeframe PeteWave] (or [pix_PeteWave]) et voila!

Thanks for your help, I tried the same patch I had before and the errors are gone without changing or even doing anything on that computer. But I

great. freeframe plugins are only instantiated when they receive a pix (as opposed to a "normal" gemlist) and whenever the dimensions change, the plugin has to be re-instantiated. this might have been your problem...

also can use PeteWave now, so I thank you at least for that...

gret.
