This may or may not be related or useful, but: I got this 'too many files open' error a while ago in a patch with many readsf~ (without 'any') objects.
I did this: edit /etc/security/limits.conf and add : [username] soft nofile 4096 [username] hard nofile 4096 (see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=638597 ) or some variation of it... It seemed to help a bit, but still it happened now and then. The problem went away when I transfered the patch to a computer with more ram. But it is strange that playing a few sound files would require so much memory. I'm not sure if it's related at all to readsf~ or readanysf~. I got this error when using pix_image a few times too... gr, Tim 2010/6/22 august <[email protected]> > > Seems that my first post has been truncated ... > > > > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > > > > Hi everyone, > > > > Sorry to interfere but I'm experiencing similar issues and cleaning up > > the headers doesn't seem to solve the problem ... > > > > >From user's point of view (no dev skills in here !), it seems that pd > > gets overloaded by too many file's openings. > > > > On my system (osx 10.6, Pd-Ext 0.42.5-RC2, hcs' readanysf intel > > binary), and no matter the format and the size of the files, 240 > > successive openings lead to: > > > > "Invalid file or unsupported codec. > > Current file is either invalid or an unsupported codec" > > > > Then Pd refuses to save and reports : > > > > "error: /Users/me/Documents/PD/stress.pd: Too many open files" > > > > I join a simple "stress patch" that tries to isolate the error. > > > > Thanks for helping a bit more ! > > > > Cheers, > > > > Pierre > > > Pierre, > > thanks for the report and for the test patch.
