Hello!
I am new to Puredata extended.
I wanted to set up a motion control patch and I found a few online to try out. I used these patches. https://sites.google.com/site/skriyl/Home/pd-projects https://sites.google.com/site/skriyl/Home/pd-projects
For some reason I am getting this red error message when I try to “create.”
could not make new SG channnel error -9405 [pix_video]: no valid video backend found
I am using GEM: ver: 0.93.3 and Pd version 0.43.4-extended.
I also am using the latest updated from Apple: Yosemite
If anyone has any tips or advice for working my way around this problem it would be greatly appreciate. My goal ultimately is to use motion capture and sound generation to do live sound mashing using motion from ym webcam.
Thanks
Josh

most likely this is the problem. Gem still uses QuickTime for accessing the video devices on OSX, and afaik, yosemite has finally abandoned QT even on i386.
so i think there are a number of possibilities:
downgrade to some older version of OSX
convince (bribe, intimidate,...) someone with OSX knowledge and
reasonable ObjC/C++ knowledge to write an AVFoundation plugin for Gem
- upgrade to an operating system that does not deprecate another core
component of their OS whenever they make a new release¹.

So what is the newest version of OS X with which GEM will work?

Hey Josh, colleagues,
Curiously, I had the same surprise today in front of students :-(
I am trying to find a solution too. For now you could try another software for video processing and then send blob information to PD:
Processing via OSC? http://www.stefhancaddick.co.uk/new/hive-2/motion-detection-with-processing-... CCV via Tuio (http://ccv.nuigroup.com/#home)
However, I would suggest a Kinect (via Kinecta) instead of webcams.
Cheers

Well, it's good to know for teaching… So I wonder what is the plan to keep compatibility with OS X moving forward... Thanks! J

Hello,
10.9 Mavericks is working ok with gem 0.93.3 except when you render text using [text2d] and maybe [text3d]. Complete freeze of the computer can happen, some of them stops after a few sec, and some of them never stops... It is happening as well with 10.8 and iirc 10.7.
Best, Nicolas

yeah Gem (from pdx 0.43.4) has become quite problematic in teaching. at this point all my students run OSX 10.10... things crash, pix_video only works on some of the older macs, etc etc.
we need native osx plugins. dan has a great start that just needs finishing up....

since "Gem (from pdx 0.43.3)" has not changed a jota in the last few years, i think that something else must have "become quite problematic"...

yes osx
but responsibility aside, the two (pdx + osx 10.10) now fail to play nice together....
