Hi,

I was wondering if I can receive a RTSP video stream in Gem and use it as you would use any video source. In Windows.

I came across this http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/gem-dev/2006-07/002056.html and I thought it may work in Windows too, since I have quicktime installed and Gem is using (also) the quicktime backend.

I opened the stream in Quick Time Player Pro and saved it to a .mov file with the option that only saves a reference to the original media. I guess (and hope) this saves into the mov file really a link to the url.

When I open it in Gem with pix_film it almost seems to work in that I get the "loaded file..." message on the console, the second outlet outputs the correct width and height of the stream and duration "1", but no texture is shown. I tried to re-send 1 to the frame number, I tried with a [px_buf], but nothing works.

I feel like I'm almost there, since it reads the video size correctly. Strangely enough pix_info always outputs "1" for the "new frame" and "new file" flags even without a bix_buf...........

Any idea? Thanks in advance m.
