hello,
i upgraded my copy of gem yesterday to get [pix_video] to work and since then [pix_film] causes a crash, but the strange thing is that i have two versions of pd installed one of which i didn't update and so has an even older version of gem, and that has started doing the same...
it says that avi and quicktime support is enabled in the terminal, then i get that nasty little XP box asking if i want to send an error report...
any ideas?
thanks

which version of gem did you upgrade to which version pd versions ? try running pd with -verbose to see what is going on. make sure the correct pd is loaded
there should not be much interference between the 2 pd's (and the installed versions of Gem), only humans get confused.

hello,
hi Pete
i upgraded my copy of gem yesterday to get [pix_video] to work and since then [pix_film] causes a crash, but
I just checked, and it does the same for me. It works fine with the example videos (homer.avi etc), but all of my own (uncompressed avis) that I've tried cause it to crash (smallest I've tried is 65mb). Which is annoying, because I was planning on making some use of it soon, too. [pix_movie] does the same. I've tried with GEM 0.90.0 and 0.90.1 - I'm (fairly) sure that it has worked, at least briefly, at some point in the past, but I haven't done much [film] type stuff. I'm not sure at which point it broke for me...
the strange thing is that i have two versions of pd installed one of which i didn't update and so has an even older version of gem, and that has started doing the same...
I wonder what's really going on there... So I take it you were using it quite happily before (with 0.90.0 and the even older version). The obvious thing to ask - is there anything else that might have changed other than running the new version of Gem? Maybe a new media player, or... i dunno what. Perhaps people closer to the inner workings of Gem confirm that running it does not make any changes that would effect anything else...
it says that avi and quicktime support is enabled in the terminal, then i get that nasty little XP box asking if i want to send an error report...
bummer
any ideas?
not really. Actually, maybe it's worth trying to restart your computer, and running the old version straight away.
Cheers, Pete
hi pete,
it's ok...
yeah the versions were 90.0 and 90.1 and the older version that went weird was 88.something, but on reflection maybe that didnt work in the first place. i thought maybe i had crossed the -paths over when making the batch files, but hadnt... i think that was just me being dumb...
it's working now, i grabbed the .dll from my recycle bin... it's no problem really but it does mean that i cant use [pix_video] and [pix_film] using the same version of gem. or anything else thats updated.

So is it 90.0 that [pix_film] works with, for you? Because it doesn't for me.
