Re: [PD] readanysf~ v0.30
Yo august - I'm working on a variant of the anysndfiler patch you included that can function as a drop-in replacement for soundfiler. I'm experiencing some weirdness though - it seems to work ~50% of the time but the other times it hard-locks my system and spits out couldn't get a frame messages to the console (with syslogd taking up most of my CPU). I'm generally opening MP3 files from my collection. Printing the time so far message, it seems to hang at some period and just stick there (e.g. 40s). Let me know if I can provide any other info - I'll see what else I can figure out in the meantime. Patches attached... I'm super excited to be so close to having this : ) Thanks again for your work on it thus far! cool. I'm really glad if it is useful for some people. I was just messing around with that anysndfiler patch one night to see what might be needed for such a thing. So, it is hardly complete. I looked at your patch briefly and one thing that comes to attention immediately is the resampling switch~ statement. Because readanysf~ reads from unpredictable things like your hard disk or the internet, it can never really know for sure if it will receive the intended amount of audio samples every dsp block. So, what I do is, instead of blocking the dsp call and hearing a click, I fill the missing audio samples with zeros. When you apply the switch~ statement that runs that subpatch at a higher frequency than the main pd patch, it could happen that you attempt read faster than what your computer can read and decode from your harddrive. And, this is what is happening when you see a couldn't get a frame message. It means readanysf~'s internal buffer is empty and needs time to fill the buffer. Every time you see that message, you can be sure that your audio has been corrupted with zeros. If you get rid of the loadbang to the switch statement in the patch, what happens then? It should work much better. I'm not sure, but I think what is needed here is a blocking, non-threading readanysf~ to make it work properly. I might be able to look more into this later. best -august. ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list

Re: [PD] readanysf~ v0.30
what exactly does that mean? Do you mean compiling it in statically? Or, do you mean compiling and installing the libraries? If you mean statically, I'm not sure, but I think it will be difficult since it is gmerlin based on a plugin architecture of shared objects. -a Static is one option, but not the only. You can also compile it as a dynamic lib and included it with the external. That makes it harder to distribute though. With Windows and Mac OS X distros of Pd- extended, there are many included dynamic libs. If there were fink packages for gmerlin/gavl then this happens automatically as part of the build system. Basically what I mean in something like this: externals/readanysf externals/readanysf/readanysf~.c externals/readanysf/gavl externals/readanysf/gmerlin Then in the Makefile for readanysf, build gavl and gmerlin, then use something like -I./gavl -I./gmerlin for CFLAGS and -L./gavl -L./ gmerlin for LDFLAGS. Using automake would make that process easier. Then whereever the readanysf~.pd_linux is, the .so would be included (or .pd_darwin/.dylib, or .dll/dll). I'm not sure it can work like that. For one, and correct me if I am wrong...cause I am certainly not the master of dynamic linking, but just because you compile an app with -L/gavl doesn't mean your system will be able to load that needed dynamic library with the app. You need to tell the system that the dynamic library is somewhere where it can find it. The second problem is that the gmerlin_avdecode library itself is based on dynamic object plugins (one for madlib, one for theora, etc.) and those object need to be in a findable place as well. please correct me if I am missing something about how you are packaging PD. Is there a folder somewhere that you are installing shared libs that are used by pd or externals? -a. ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list

Is there a folder somewhere that you are installing shared libs that are used by pd or externals? This kind of thing various a lot by platform: - Windows will use .dlls in ., it will also look in the same folder as the pd.exe. With the Pd-extended installer, the dlls can be installed and managed in the system32 folder too. - I think GNU/Linux can also look in . for .so files, but I haven't really tried much because I haven't had too, I just statically link, or use packaged libraries there. - Mac OS X is the hardest. The .dylibs need to have their path coded in them. I don't think . will work, but it might. In Pd-extended, I wrote a script that looks for Fink libs (based on the /sw base path) then it copies them into the Pd-extended.app/Contents/lib and rewrites their path using the @executable_path variable that allows some kind of relative path. This is fully automated for years now, so I think making fink packages for this stuff will be the easiest path on Mac OS X. But it would be good to figure out how to automatically load .dylibs from '.' so they can be included in any standalone libdirs. By the way, libquicktime also has plugins, but they are also included in the Pd-extended.app package. That required setting an envvar with the location. After writing all that, I am thinking that linking everything statically on all platforms is probably going to be the easiest thing to do for now... it would be the same makefile, more or less, on all platforms. The dynamic lib stuff will all be totally different on each platform. .hc It is convenient to imagine a power beyond us because that means we don't have to examine our own lives., from The Idols of Environmentalism, by Curtis White ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list

august wrote: hi gavl is a really brilliant low-level library which handles the details of audio and video formats like colorspaces, samplerates, multichannel configurations etc. i basically agree. and it is super simple. it took me two days during(!) piksel (while drinking beer and stuff) to hear of gavl/gmerlin and implement support for it in Gem. gmerlin_avdecode uses gavl to deliver frames of audio and video (including conversions and resampling). It can decode all kinds of media filesmp3, ogg, flac, mp4, x264..etc. Pretty much everything that can be played with mplayer. Together, they are as close to a full-fledged multi-media api that I have seen yet on linux. gstreamer comes close, but has a really large and complex design. for me, gstreamer and gmerlin do not directly compete. while both claim to be multimedia frameworks, the former is hard to interface on the data-level from a host application; however pipelines (within the gst-framework) are highly optimized and do not require much thinking of the host-programmes authors. otoh, gmerlin is a straighforward API to read data from a media-stream into your host application (writing is possible but more complicated) I think you will see gavl/gmerlin become more standard in the future. Lumiera, the new video editing software from the cinelerra-cv folks, is based on it. and Gem :-) It IS unfortunate that they aren't yet apt-get'able, but I think that should happen soon. gavl itself has been packaged into debian since etch. unfrotunately gavl is just the interface that defines how frames of data look like, whereas the actual decoding library is in a a package called gmerlin_avdec, which is _not_ in proper debian. however, it is available through debian-multimedia by christian marillat. fgmasdr IOhannes smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list

Then we can remove it once its widely packaged. .hc fgsdmr IOhannes This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program. mime-attachment I have always wished for my computer to be as easy to use as my telephone; my wish has come true because I can no longer figure out how to use my telephone. --Bjarne Stroustrup ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list

If you mean statically, I'm not sure, but I think it will be difficult since it is gmerlin based on a plugin architecture of shared objects. -a ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list

hi, is it possible to use it as something like soundfiler that can handle mp3-files (write the samples to a table not in realtime and not upsampled)? or is something like that out there? g. august schrieb: hallo, I made some major bug fixes to my readanysf~ external. readanysf~ is a puredata external for reading many file formats from your hard disk or via network. please check it out. http://aug.ment.org/readanysf -august. ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list

Yeah, an [anysoundfiler] would be super handy. .hc On Apr 29, 2009, at 1:24 PM, errordevelo...@gmail.com wrote: hi well ..that sounds brilliant - but why is it dependent on some 'gavl' ?? not something more common, like libaudiofile, for example?? is it buffered?

Re: [PD] readanysf~ v0.30
hi well ..that sounds brilliant - but why is it dependent on some 'gavl' ?? not something more common, like libaudiofile, for example?? libaudiofile is not much different from the more common libsndfile. Both only read uncompressed formats. gavl is a really brilliant low-level library which handles the details of audio and video formats like colorspaces, samplerates, multichannel configurations etc. gmerlin_avdecode uses gavl to deliver frames of audio and video (including conversions and resampling). It can decode all kinds of media filesmp3, ogg, flac, mp4, x264..etc. Pretty much everything that can be played with mplayer. Together, they are as close to a full-fledged multi-media api that I have seen yet on linux. gstreamer comes close, but has a really large and complex design. I think you will see gavl/gmerlin become more standard in the future. Lumiera, the new video editing software from the cinelerra-cv folks, is based on it. It IS unfortunate that they aren't yet apt-get'able, but I think that should happen soon. is it buffered? it is buffered and threaded. you can set the bugger size as specified in the readanysf-help.pd file. -a. ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
