Hi guys, I am noticing a constant increase in memory usage with 

.polymovie. I have a folder with about 3 GB of videos but when loading that with polymovie it increase memory usage overtime to 30 GB and more. I don't understand since it is supposed to cache the video files in memory, but why so much more memory then the original size? Also it seems to constant growing in memory usage over time. 

Is there anything I can do to prevent this?

My friend and I are debugging an issue regarding file paths. I'm a mac user and he is a windows user.

Whenever I call the create_audio_clip function on my end (passing in a local file path), I run into no issues. However, when my friend runs this same function he runs into an error. We are both inputting our file paths correctly when making the call (I use "/" while he uses "\\").

We ran into this changelog from a while back (

https://cycling74.com/forums/max-6-1-3-released

) where it was mentioned that this issue was fixed:

"Live API: file_path property of a clip on Windows is properly delimited"

I'm unsure if this is relevant to our bug. 

Has anyone else run into this issue? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I have the feeling, that the last update isn't quite right. 

Lots of random crashes while not really reproducible.  

Also when exporting to M4L , patches are changing to older versions/states again and/or gen~ objects are completely empty.

Last is causing horrible clicks in the audio-outs, it killed a pair of headphones already. 

Never had this behavior in all other releases.

I might have found a bug in the coding for the 

 object in one of the recent releases for Max installed on Windows 11.

If I create a chooser object in a patcher and fill it with some values, clicking on an entry outputs the index number and entry value from outlets 1 and 2 as expected. However, double-clicking the same entry generates no output from outlets three and four as it is supposed to do:

An associate who tried this on his Mac installation appears to get the expected results by double-clicking, although I don't know which version of Max and MacOS he is using.

Interestingly, a project that I have previously built in to a Standalone generates the expected output when double-clicking 

 entries and if I build this patcher into an executable it also works correctly:

Is this a bug or is there something in my Windows installation that is preventing double-clicks from acting on the 

Here is the patcher code from this example:

and the same patch code built into an .mxf file:

	"version" : "Version 8.6.2 (d076223e34e) (x64 windows)",

	"osversion" : "Microsoft Windows 11 Professional (build 22631), 64-bit",

So I wanted to work on a RNBO project but Max caused a timeout and after several minutes I eventually got an error message; buildserver failed to start. At first I blamed the fact that my installation is heavily customized (the program folder is even located in \program files\Ableton\Max 8) so I figured I'd do a full clean sweep.

I deinstalled Max, moved all config files out of the way (in %appdata%\Cycling '74), moved the default projects folder out of the way and then re-installed Max. At this stage RNBO works as expected again but I haven't even authorized Max yet, all default settings.

Yet the moment I upgrade the RNBO package to 1.3.0 I'm met with errors again, which I've attached, it times out and that's the end of that.

Considering the fact that everything is using default settings, and that RNBO works before the upgrade I can't help wonder if I'm hit with a bug of some sort?

There seems to be a bug in the vst~ (and mc.vst~) object. Inputs 5 and 6 do not work, and the output patch does not look correct. 

The plugin used in the screenshot (spatial mic converter) works perfectly in Nuendo.

Almost all of the 3rd party externals that I regularly use will not load under MaxMSP 8.6.2. They are all fine under 8.5.  I have tried on several computers (Intel and Silicon chips) and on Silicon chips I have the app set to open using Rosetta.

I am puzzled because the configuration on my computers is exactly the same in terms of system and MaxMSP settings and the externals are all in the same location. When I launch my patch under 8.5 everything is fine, when I launch my patch using 8.6.2 I get a ton of errors.

For example, the MaxSoundBox collection of objects from IRCAM

are  externals that I use in almost every one of my patches. They are all compiled for arm64. They all work fine on MaxMSP 8.5 and on MaxMSP 8.6.2  they all produce the error:

Library not loaded: @executable_path/../Frameworks/MaxAPI.framework/Versions/A/MaxAPI

Referenced from: /Users/keith/Documents/Max 8/Library/MaxSoundBox/externals/yin~.mxo/Contents/MacOS/yin~

Any suggestions or even verifications from others that many 3rd party externals do not work on MaxMSP 8.6.2 would be helpful.

I have this simple patch where I am just dropping a folder with some videos on a jit.gl.polymovie object.

Basically every time I do that, Max becomes unresponsive.

The folder contains videos in mp4 format and it is just 250 MB overall, my machine is an M1 Max with 64 GB of ram.

I am not sure why this is happening, any help?
