Hey Jack, Thanks a lot for that.
It's still crashing when I open the second avi.:(
I used different abstractions (correctly or not) because I'm using three [gemhead] 1-3 to play the videos. I thought that is the way no? So each abstractions contains a different gemhead.
Even though I have given each abstraction a different name, they all have the same canvas i.d.?
Very confusing...
Again, thanks a lot though,

Hello,
You have a problem in your abstraction 'pix_buffer_filmopen_environment.pd' where there is a [loadbang] and a message [set video_environment(. There is no 'video_environment' [pix_buffer] in your patch but a '$0-video_environment' pix_buffer. Therefore remove this loadbang and message in this abstraction and save it (because the abstraction use the first argument as pix_buffer). Then open your main patch and see if it is working now.
Why do you use several abstraction with different name ? Just use one abstraction [pix_buffer_filmopen] and add a different argument each time : [pix_buffer_filmopen $0-video_environment] [pix_buffer_filmopen $0-video_vdu] [pix_buffer_filmopen $0-video_headshot] ++

Hi all,
Been sat here for the last couple of hours going round and round and I am stuck stuck stuck.
I have recently come across the Neupert tutorials(attached patch based on 10-av-more control) which are excellent, miles better than my attempts for audio/video sync.
Anyway I am very stuck with this problem:
I want to play 3 avi.s which are in [pix_buffers]. 1 file plays fine but as soon as I add another pd crashes.
I attach the patch.(av_plyr3.6)
Not attaching the avi.s and audio as I guess it's pointless? they work seperately.
My hunch is it's something to do with the [pixbuffer_filmopen] patch and/or the use of $0 but I just can't figure it out.
Any pointers/fixes gladly received - deadlines looming etc...
On a friends windows machine as it's super fast, so it's: windows 7 most recent pd-extended
Very sure it's user-error though.
Cheers,

Avi's are 10fps mjpeg recoded in avidemux.
Audio 44.1 wav in audacity All files play fine on the windows computer on their own. I do get audio and one video, which works great.
They also play fine in my earlier patch when I was first experimenting with GEM and video. I went the Neupert way because I wanted more control.
Other problem is that my ancient laptop wont come anywhere near running the patch, which is why I'm at a friends house.
Aargh, this is bad, supposed to hand this in tomorrow.
I have to go for a few hours but will be back later. Back at my friends in the morning but will be online again in a few hours.
Attached is my original patch too.
What I want is the ability to scrub audio and video but something that works. Obviously. I was using [redanysf~] but the work needs to be seen on windows and mac and readanysf doesn't seem to work on windoze.
I guess the most frustrating thing is that I have spent all afternoon wrestling with something that seems to be working on other computers. I added the [set( message as I have been trying anything I could think of.

Hi Benjamin,
Thanks for that, I will check it out.
Jack,
The machine I was testing with today was very souped-up and the [dsp] object never got over 25%.
I don't know if this would make a difference but the avi's are slightly longer than the audio, if the audio is driving the sync is it possible that that could cause the crashes? Also audio is 32bit floating point, if that could make a difference?
Still somewhat unsure about the best way of using the abstraction, if as I thought, to use 3 files I need 3 gemheads, how can I use 1 abstraction that contains a single gemhead? That was the impulse to use three different files. Then if I'm using 3 different files, why do I need to use $0, apart from good coding practice??
Guess I'm thinking aloud here.
With the first version that I made, all the files load fine and play, though there is now no sync now I stopped using [readanysf~]. S'pose one of the joys of pd is that there are umpteen ways of skinning any particular feline, though I really don't have the time to be starting from scratch again with this.
I'm going to make the audio 16b and trim the avi's so they are the same length as the audio.
Otherwise I'm really unsure what's going on.... This whole codec thing is a bloody nightmare.
Will try again tomorrow.
Cheers,
Jb

Try this patch and abstraction and use small soundfiles and movies to test. I don't know which video codec is better on Windows for your patch.

You needn't $0 in your patch but it is a good practice if you want to send variables in local. In your subpatch you use '$0-frame' to send the number of frame of your movies. The problem is all your receive $0-frame will receive the value of the 3 movies. So i remove these objects (heve a look inside the subpatch). ++
