Re: [PD] pd 0.40.1 won't build with --disable-alsa

2006-11-03 Thread Miller Puckette
Not having portaudio, I tried just --disable-alsa on a Fedora 3
machine and got a different error.  (on my redhat 9 system it
works just fine...) 

I'll have to poke around some more to see what's going on.

cheers

[PD] processing audio and render in gem simultaneously???

2006-11-03 Thread Andres Ferrari

 hello everybody.


is possible to process audio in pd and work with gem
simultaneously???. i have mac osx with 1.33 mhz and
768 ram., but always i obtanin clicks and interference
in audio when I apply a process in gem...like change
from videoA.mov to videoB.mov...is a simply task but
audio generate a click. may be gem is not designed to
work with audio processs in the same timei don't
knowmay be there are problems in my mac...in
max/jitter i don't have these problems.

some suggestion or advice?

Hallo!


is possible to process audio in pd and work with gem
simultaneously???.

yes, of course ...

The problem is, that the audio and video calculation is in the same 
thread - so if there is a heavy calculation in GEM you get an audio 
dropout, because there is too few cpu time to also calculate audio ...



some suggestion or advice?
You can use 2 instances of pd at the same time: one for audio and one 
for GEM (and start this one with -nogui) - then you can send data 
between them through netsend/netreceive.
Now the audio and video calculation is seperated and you can say your OS 
that the audio-process should have a higher priority.


Alternatively you could also try pdp. There you can use only one 
instance of pd and start pdp in a seperate thread.

the problem is that most video processing will very likely take
longer than 1 audio block per video frame
you can try to work around that by setting a bigger blocksize
because the default is just 64bytes = 1.45ms @ 44100
but that will cause a higer audiolatency.
the best solution is to split your patch into two separate patches
one just containg the audio part, the other one just doing the video
stuff and run those two patches with two instances of pd.
but that also sucks when those two pd's then have to communicate
a lot (netsend or osc)
it would be a great feature for gem if it was a separate thread with
settable priority relative to parent-pd.

feature request!

[PD] error: pix_video: could not initialise COM

2006-11-03 Thread Drew Browning

List,

I'm trying to use PD/GEM on my Shuttle, AMD Athlon 64 machine with WinXP 
and a ATI Radeon X800 graphics card. GEM seems to work fine except for 
pix_video. When I load a pix_video patch, like 00.SimpleVideo.pd from the 
examples, I get the following:


MAN::resetState entered
error: pix_video: could not initialise COM.
MAN::resetState entered

When I send the message device 0 the pix_video object, I get the following:

error: pix_videoDS: COM has not been initialized.

Here's what I have done to try to solve the problem:
- I've tried different versions of PD/GEM but I still can't use pix_video. 
I'm currently using Pd version 0.40-1 and GEM version 0.91-cvs.

- I've updated my graphics driver to the most recent version.
- I've tried both USB web cams and DV cam but both give the same error. The 
cameras work in other applications.
- pix_video works fine on my Pentium machines. I thought it might be an AMD 
problem but when wrote to the list about this a year ago others replied 
they had no problem with their AMD Athlon 64 machines.
- Per another suggestion I ran services.msc and made sure COM, DCOM and WMI 
services were started and they are.

- I've updated my DirectX to the latest version.

I'm hoping there might be someone who can help me find a solution.

Drew

Re: [PD] error: pix_video: could not initialise COM

2006-11-03 Thread chris clepper

Hi Drew

I tested the DirectShow code on an Athlon64 laptop (much of it was
written on one).  I don't have any AMD machines to test with now
though.  The COM initialization is the very first check done before
DirectShow is even called and all DirectShow code has to have that COM
code.  I haven't even seen that error happen since COM is pretty basic
for the MS OSes - kind of like saying you don't have any OS installed.

Which service packs do you have installed?  Is this a 64bit or 32 bit OS?

Re: [PD] Pd freezing on startup in ubuntu dapper

2006-11-03 Thread John Harrison




Pd is still completely freezing my ubuntu Dapper machine. I have tried
recompiling with Pd 0.40.2 and still absolute and instant freeze. So I
tried the suggestion below. The debugger reports:

Starting program /usr/local/bin/pd
[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]
[New Thread -1211066688 (LWP 6400)]

Then the machine is completely frozen again, so I have to pull the plug.

I also tried editing /etc/hosts as was suggested here:
http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2005-07/029853.html

and that didn't help either...

I have used this on many ubuntu Dapper machines so I don't know what's
so special about this one. Could it be the 2 dual-core Pentium Xeons?
Could it be the M-audio Delta 1010LT card?

When I run

$ pd -verbose

I get no response at all. Just the instantly frozen machine.

And I have tried the various flags (-nrt -nomidi -nosound) and others...

Can you try to start Pd under a debugger? That is: 
$ gdb /usr/bin/pd
(gdb) run

and if Pd crashes and your machine is still alive try to catch a
backtrace with:
(gdb) bt

Re: [PD] Pd freezing on startup in ubuntu dapper

2006-11-03 Thread John Harrison




If I yank the M-audio Delta 1010LT card out of the machine, Pd runs
fine. When I part the card back in, Pd freezes again. So the problem
appears to be this M-audio card. The thing is...I Googled and searched
this mailing list and it appears people use this card with Pd all the
time with no problems. I need Pd and I need this M-audio card. What's
my next step?

Weird that the card would crash Pd even with this command:

$ pd -nosound -noadc -nodac

Thanks,
