jit.qt.movie only plays sound when I change the volume

When starting a film, the film starts mute. Only when I change the volume with the numberbox, I get to hear the sound. What can I do to change that?

Here goes a patch. Two problems: I cannot control the volume and the sound starts always on my internal speaker even with my mbox selected in the DSP status window.

Well, it’s a little bit “le brun” ton bazar !! (messy), not easy to see what is going on !

It works if: you send “soc playback” once the movie is loaded, and if I refresh the dac~, maybe you turn it on too soon (can’t find it).

You have to search around this I guess.

Ok, I changed some things and it works now. BUT: when the level is up (not equal to zero) I get a horrible sidenoise with the sound. Even when the movie stops, the hum stays. Only when I turn the volume to zero the hum stops.

I got it almost working. One issue: when I start to play a movie, the sound comes through channel 1 and 2 for half a second and only then goes to channel 3 and 4. Any idea?

Ok, my mbox is doing weird. I just want the sound to go from spigot to channels 3,4,5 and 6. Nothing More then that. Please tell me how to do that?

I think this should work. Can anyone confirm if I made mistakes. Part of the reason why it did not work was because I was not using the right valume message. I used vol $1 instead of trackvol 1 $1. Since I changed that, it works fine. A stupid mistake, but someone on the forums suggested it. Anyway. I cleaned up the patch and added comments. So if anyone can look at it i would be very happy.

@ Everybody: sorry for the spamming. It is just that I have to catch a plane in some hours and I want to have this finished.

unless your source movies actually have multiple tracks, then you shouldn’t use trackvol message, but the vol attribute.

I did some changes to the patch. Now I have some questions:
i only have two channels 1 and 2 now. What I want is to switch between outputting the sound from the films or the sound from the microphone. Can I use the vol $1 message and a numberbox to manipulate the volume? In case the film stops, it stops outputting sound as well. I really would like to ditch spigot because of the delay in sound playback.
