hi all

yesterday i tested a GEM motion detection patch with a friends laptop to find that PD crashed really badly after few seconds. It looked to us like it crashed when there was big changes on the incoming data (sudden movement in front of the camera...).

The funny thing is that my friends laptop is a brand new Asus laptop running Vista and mine is an old IBM with XP. So the Asus should be much more powerful than mine... but there is no problem at all in mine with same patch.

We were using PD extended 0.39 on Vista, the camera is integrated, I could not check the type of graphics card and camera (no time sorry). Just noticed that there was no output on the PD console at all, just crashed.

We noticed that we could remove either pix_movement or pix_blob from the chain and then it would not crash. So it looked like the combination was problematic.

i know this is not very good description of the problem but does it ring any bell? thanks!

now even though this is 0.91, it is rather old and i wouldn't trust it. is there any reason to not use Pd-extended 0.40.3?

i have some awful GEM code which i wrote overnight two years ago. every time i try to update it to latest Gem i dont get very far and breaks my nerves ;) I have a workshop in a couple of weeks and i am not sure it is a good idea to do it now... but i will have to do it at some point.

(nevertheless i cannot remember any changes within the 2 objects you mentioned; but i would just go and try it)

thanks
