hehe, dont let europeans get a grip on your code :) In fact the pix_video seems to have changed in different ways,

one of it, the default is VIDEO_MODE_AUTO, which might mean some auto detection

then there is no norm message, but a "mode" message which sets <norm> and <mode>, like "mode PAL 0" or "mode NTSC 0" the mode numbers are 0 for Composite 1 for Tuner

... I don know who implemented this and how the norm message got lost, but probably it was me working on a pix_video that was out of date ?

it makes more sense to have norm and mode separated though, --> TODO for the next gem release+ improvement of documentation.

PS: I also can't figure out how to turn it to NSTC rather than PAL (but it automattically grabbed my composite channel when I had video going in)

Thanks!

ummmmmmmm

Was pix_video supposed to work under gem.87 under linux? because I just happend to load the pix_video simple patch and I'm getting noise on the square, in fact its looks an awful lot like the noise that comes out of my winTV card when Its set to "tuner" input. Here is the output:

cap: name BT878(Hauppauge (bt878)) type 235 channels 4 maxw 640 maxh 576 minw 48 minh 32

picture: brightness 32768 depth 0 palette 0

channel 0 name Television type 1 flags 3 channel 1 name Composite1 type 2 flags 2 channel 2 name S-Video type 2 flags 2 channel 3 name Composite3 type 2 flags 2 buffer size 4259840, frames 2, offset 0 2129920

frame 0 0, format 4, width 48, height 32

allocating GEM: pix_video: Opened video connection

Now I tried running the "video sphere" example patch, but that segfaulted PD. So is this supposed to work? How do I change the video input source? a message "channel 1" did not work. Even the teapot works!!!!!!!

I'm reading though the pix_video (linux) src now, but my c++ is nonexistant! I'll see if I can find the method for "channel"

Thanks all, I'm simply blown away.
