I created a patch to be able to load more movies one after the other randomly (I used URN to randomze them witout repetition):

I have 2 problems with the toggle start/stop.

1. after press the toggle and the video is stopped if I press the toggle again (start again) the patch loads a random video but just for a second (I don't know why does that), then it loads another video end everything goes well. 

2. if from stop I click twice in a fast way the toggle (start and stop) the video continues to play (doesen't stop)

I tryed to understand why these 2 things happen but nothing...

when you click the start/stop toggle, a bang to urn, which sends the 

appropriate 'read' message to jit.qt.movie. So far so good. Now, when 

jit.qt.movie receives the read, it dumps the movie name out of the 

right outlet, causing a bang, delaying it 500 ms, and then sending a 

You can solve it by putting a [route loopnotify] between the right 

outlet of jit.qt.movie and the bang that is attached to it now.

This way, all messages (the read messages e.g. which cause the 

problem) will cause nothing, only the loopnotify message will cause
