Ok i've read a few threads but haven't quite got to the bottom of an issue I'm having.

Simple patch, three jit.gl.videoplane objects are drawing to a pwindow. I have all the blending and everything working fine.. everything is cool.

I save the patch and reload and the videplanes are drawing in a different order. If I change the images around I can get back to where I want to be again.

But how can I predictably sort three videoplanes?

jit.gl.videoplane @layer 1
jit.gl.videoplane @layer 2
jit.gl.videoplane @layer 3

Sorry I meant to say I tried that.. it makes all my videoplanes dissappear.. or render in black..

jit.gl.videoplane @layer 1 foo
jit.gl.videoplane @layer 2 foo
jit.gl.videoplane @layer 3 foo

jit.gl.videoplane foo @layer 1
jit.gl.videoplane foo @layer 2
jit.gl.videoplane foo @layer 3

what about adding jit.gl.videoplane @depth_enable 0? what is your blend mode?

also add @depth_enable 0 and @blend_enable 1

layer overrides the automatic depth but depth_enable doesn't know about

yeah I'm using @depth_enable 0 and @blend_enable 1

as i mentioned above it was purely the order of arguments that was the problem. typical example of starting a thread and going doh! Still at least we only make these mistakes once :)
