Hello
I have a Sony Media Converter from the Ancient Days and a newer Caopus ADVC Analog to Digital Box and I would like to use it in GEM if possible. pix_video does not see it at all.
If I run dvgrab-- it grabs frames so I can confirm that it actually works on ubuntu. Is there a way to get this device(2) to work in GEM?
Thanks in advance

what's this "device(2)"? only the canopus or both?
anyhow: i have an ADVC110 on my desk, and it used to work fine with Gem (just checked). since it really is a DV-device, you will obviously need videoDV support for Gem (apt-get install gem-plugin-dv4l). then it should show up as something like "/dev/fw1"

That does not seem to work. Do I need to explicitly load the .so?

no, you should not need to: Gem searches for all available plugins in the folder where the Gem binary resides. the installed plugin will thus work for the standard Gem installation of Debian (both Gem and the plugin live in /usr/lib/pd/extra/Gem), but it won't work out-of-the-box for your private installations of Gem (in which case you might want to symlink the gem_videoDV4L.so to the location of your Gem-binary)
it would also help if you could provide output of the pd-console (preferably in verbose mode) and the terminal, when ding something as simple as:
- -> start Pd, load Gem, create [pix_video]

You were 100% correct and I need to link it to my version of Gem. Thanks for the help with this. I have one more question but it's about font support
