[PD] Fwd: using PD to access URL based images and video

2008-02-23 Thread Joseph Barrows
hi,
i thought i had seen (few months ago) mention of someone using Pd to display
images from Flickr, but can not find any mention of it anywhere now

is anyone doing this and if so, how?  i'd also like to access youtube
videos, but images will do for now.

oh, i also need mysql and email access within puredata/gem; i can't find a
good database of externals/patches

Re: [PD] Fwd: using PD to access URL based images and video

2008-02-23 Thread marius schebella
yes, that was me. I used python and the flickr api to do this. there is 
an unofficial release at 
http://www.parasitaere-kapazitaeten.net/Pd/pd_flickr. (I will have to 
look into it again and have to clean up the code and give better 
documentation.
I use python to talk to flickr, search for tags and then download the 
images to a local folder, and parse the local address to pd, so that pd 
can open the image. there is no way to do all that with native pd 
objects yet.
youtube videos are more tricky, because you would have to convert them 
from flash to some readable file format.
feel free to download and test, (I am not sure, if it still works, but 
you will get the concept) and I did not include my flickr-api key, (so 
you have to get one). I will look into it again and can help you with 
questions...

Re: [PD] [gem-cvs] crashes xorg/ati..

2008-02-23 Thread dmotd
hey ben.. 

   good theory, unfortunately everything seems in order
   (/usr/lib/libGL.so* is correctly linked to the ati libs]
   i have now tried every possible method to correct the
   problem, including updating my compiler, the wide world
   of google leads nowhere.. 

   i'm beginning to suspect faulty hardware.. i don't have
   many other GL based apps to test against, just the
   standard mesa afair and they all work fine, and gem works
   against the mesa libs, of course i'm reliant on hardware
   rendering for this particular project.. 

   all i can do now is strongly advise folks against
   purchasing anything [amd]/ati when using linux. besides
   the pitfalls of irregular driver updates and next to no
   GPL contributions, ati gear is horrible to configure, has
   many issues with standard function calls, relies heavily
   on kernel ABI stability *which linux will never fulfil*
   and due to such issues will never run on a patched kernel
   (i.e realtime-preempt)..

   this machine was a donation and now apart from a
   glamorous jukebox (pd audio is AOK!) and email platform
   is more or less useless for the work i have done
   previously.. so yeah, all i can suggest is get gear with
   an nvidia or intel video chipset (as much as intel are a
   bit behind in the 3d stakes, they have been glorious
   contributors to open development and their hardware is
   quite stable and usable, i'm no gamer tho..).

   language warning: AMD/ATI can go fuck themselves and i
   won't take part in any of their developments in the near
   future.. hopefully the have a wonderful life in this ugly
   vista world.. please plant a nice nvidia card into an old
   machine and have some fun, modern computing is about
   pleasing the right folks at silicone valley.. screw the
   lot of them, i'm making 3d with clay.. 

   cheers pd crew, you folks rock.

   love,

dmotd..

 I never used the flglx drivers, but it looks to me that your gem is
 linked against mesa, not the glx included with the flglx driver.
 
 That could be a problem...
 
 Don't bother running on the xorg DRI, does not play well with Gem.
 
 Good luck,

as gem has ffmpeg support, and ffmpeg can read flash (flv)
videos, then i can only assume that it is possible to do as
marius describes with youtube (with access permssions to the
youtube API).. from previous experience the youtube API is
quite straight forward to script with and i think the
results could be quite pleasing.. as my machine had begun to
disintegrate on the video side i can't actually test this
theory.. but it's certainly feasible.. otherwise running
numerous video conversion apps at a script level would
definitely sort you out at the obvious expense of CPU.. i
think this activity is certainly worth pursuing even
encouraging, a whole world (worthy?) of sampling.. i have
seen max/msp/jitter based work that does as described, can
anyone tell me if this is done natively?

Re: [PD] pd-extended autobuilds on pd gutsy (WAS: Re: pd-extended install gutsy ubuntu libquicktime0 libflac7)

2008-02-23 Thread Hans-Christoph Steiner

The files are in packages/linux_make.  The problem is that there is  
just one package description file which needs to build the .debs for  
all of the different Debian-based distributions.

In order to support multiple distros, we'll need a way to manage  
multiple 'debian/control' files, one for each distro with conflicting  
deps.  One way would be to have 'packages/debian' and 'packages/ 
ubuntu', but I am open to suggestions.

 Hallo Hans + others!

 I still have to same error with the ubuntu gutsy autobuild (see below)
 which is quite annoying when installing it on other systems ...

 So I wanted to ask: where in the SVN repository are the files that  
 build
 these gutsy packages ?
 Then I can fix the dependencies ...

 Hey I think this was noted as a problem; namely the deb wants libs
 flac7 and quicktime0.  Gutsy doesn't have them (it has lqt1 and lf8)
 and it annoys aptitude to use dpkg -i --ignore-dependency=$NOGOOD

 to fix apt from complaining I went into /var/lib/dkpg/status  and
 found the pd-extended entry and changed the relevant depends:  to
 the gutsy versions.  More info here:

You can use [tcl_version] to find out what version is being used.

 Is this build compiled against Tcl/Tk 8.4.10?

get one of the latest pd-autobuilds (autobuild.puredata.info) and then 
look in help-browser-examples-Gem-glsl.

I have always had access to a lighting desk with midi input and used  
that, it worked well but does mean setting up the desk and the patch  
is very dependant on that particular desk.

Another project I know of used a USB device successfully:
