Feature Requests From: Dave Bergevin [ ] synchronized audio with the video when using mpeg1 & 2 [ ] full screen mode (without the menu bars or frames) From: Alexandre Castonguay [ ] server side pd to handle multiple incoming commands, audio + video streams [ ] support for audio in the mpeg streams alx: le tab completion ne donnerait pas seulement les noms possibles pour le prochain argument dans le objectbox; il donnerait aussi une description de l'argument (surtout dans le cas où l'argument a beaucoup de valeurs possibles) je pense que le help de Pd est une bonne idée (le concept hands-on) mais ça pourrait aller plus loin. j'ai pensé intégrer le manuel de référence de gridflow directement dans le programme, disponible au runtime, dans l'éventualité d'un GUI qui saurait en tirer avantage. sinon on pourrait faire des hacks cool genre un message "help" au inlet 0 enverrait une description de la classe dans le log. (sauf que dans ce cas: [rubyprint] est tenu d'afficher directement tout ce qu'il reçoit. alors doit-il écrire "help" ou écrire le help ? alx1->matju: détection de plusieurs personnes; détection avec deux caméras (?); détecter les formes; détecter les couleurs; support mpeg4; hotspots > http://redshift.sourceforge.net/debugging-GC/ [ruby-talk:53835] > You might also want to search the web for "malloc debugger". Tcl_GetObjResult Tcl_GetErrorInfo ... Tcl_GetStringResult may also be helpful. (note I can't seem to find Tcl_GetErrorInfo (maybe I dreamed it up)) matju: BTW CatchObjCmd might help too I see that the new Tcl_Dict commands have taken over the HEAD's CatchObjCmd ClaudiusMaximus reports that allocating a 197M grid causes a crash (turns out C++ throws exception, can't allocate, signal ABRT) ClaudiusMaximus says: I want to be able to send output from Pd+Gridflow to a video4linux loopback device so that other v4l programs can access the stream. I found the video loopback device here: http://motion.sourceforge.net/vloopback/ matju: iSight on linux : http://episteme.arstechnica.com/6/ubb.x?a=tpc&s=50009562&f=8300945231&m=40110681 matju: apparently it needs something called 'coriander'...I'm checking into it matju: the person who got it working mentions libdc1394 matju: ah coriander is a GUI for firewire matju: on this page : http://www.tele.ucl.ac.be/PEOPLE/DOUXCHAMPS/ieee1394/cameras/index.html matju: I learn that the iSight is compliant with version 1.30 of IIDC matju: the docs for coriander mention that the author needed to create a major and minor device for the camera. matju: retyping (damn pdf's) -> there are two devices to create: raw1394 and video1394 matju: raw1394 has major 171 and minor 0 while video1394 had major 171 and minor 16 thanks matju: any useful info? i'll see, doing something else at the moment matju: having a camera like the iSight supported could be fantastic for video capture/detection on a laptop. Not to mention that the bttv cards are getting harder to locate -mfpmath=sse2 alx2: btw you cannot set helpfiles explicitly on _abstractions_... yes you can and specify -helppath to add a path to help. So selecting 'Help' in the pop-up on an abstraction will open a help fiel for that abstraction "Bangs in a geiger counter have a l*dt probability of occuring in a dt time interval.
