I'm working on a video player that will heavily rely MAX's audio looping capabilities. I'm using the hap codec and I'm very happy with the quality of the loops with jit.movie~ compared to jit.movie, movies with audio don't loop well in the latter with a 200ms pause every time it loops.

But I'm encountering an abnormality when playing in reverse and more specifically with a negative rate and a loop argument set to 1, loop 2 works fine.

The playback exits the loop points range, with some erratic jumps and a frozen image.

It totally goes away if audio is switched off.

I'm on a mac with OSX10.14 with max 8.1.6, some colleagues tried it on windows and it seems to produce similar results. 

I'm attaching a demonstration patcher that is loading blading.mov from the media library (not in hap) but you can read any short movie with audio, the behaviour does slightly change depending on the audio and video codecs used.

I come here first before trying to implement my own ugly looping system by monitoring time_ms and using the jump_true message.

jit-movie~-not-looping-properly-when-audio-channel-is-present-on-file-and-audio-is-on

Yeah there is clearly some undesirable behavior here, and I will ticket this for further investigation and improvements. 

For now, your best option is probably disabling looping, and managing it yourself. This will allow you to highly customize to your needs, and order rate and seek messages for optimal behavior.

If you run into issues with that, I'm happy to offer suggestions.

One suggestion to make, as always with dynamic playback in Jitter, movie codec is important. Hap or prores are recommended over temporal-codecs like h264.

I realized you can run TypeScript code in Node for Max more or less directly, if you run it with Node.js 23, which supports type-stripping from 

https://nodejs.org/docs/latest/api/typescript.html#type-stripping

 files directly. As far as I can tell, it will only load 

 files. But that's ok: from the entry point file, you can  import TypeScript code without doing anything special in Node.js 23.

To get this to work you need to install Node.js 23. You can use 

 (make sure you select v23) or your preferred alternate installation method. I used 

, so the bin paths will be different for other installations. 

[
  node.script test.mjs
  @node_bin_path /opt/homebrew/bin/node
  @npm_bin_path /opt/homebrew/bin/npm
  @autostart 1 @watch 1
]

import "./test.ts";
import Max from "max-api";
Max.post("test.mjs successfully imported TypeScript");

import Max from "max-api";
const s: string = "From test.ts: TypeScript works natively in Max!";
Max.post(s);

Cool. Before upgrading to Node.js 23, it would blow up with an error like "Unable to launch process. Unknown file extension .ts".

Hello.
I read the tutorial:Midi Tutorial 1: Basic MIDI. The tutorial specifies in the paragraph "The midiin and midiout objects":A simple way select a MIDI device is to double-click on the MIDI object you want to assign. Double-clicking on the midiin object produces a menu of available MIDI inputs, while double-clicking on the midiout object will display a menu of MIDI outputs.
The problem is this: when I click on the midiout object for example, a window appears saying: "none".
If I look in the Options menu (MIDI setup...), there is nothing to indicate at the level of "Inputs" and "Outputs".
My question is: how do we configure MIDI setup?
Thanks for your help.

Hello.
I read the tutorial:Midi Tutorial 1: Basic MIDI. 

midi-setup-inputs-outputssettings

you read max tutorial, midi objects in live have no option to select anything, they use midi assigned as track in and outputs 

Thank you .
But , i don't understand.
"...midi objects in live have no option to select anything."I am attaching 2 photos.
If I set Live 11 like this, I can select something by clicking on the midiin object.

again and last time - max midi objects as part of live device can not select
any external midi source.
Ony what Live gives them. 


The functionality that you are looking for is only available in the full (standalone) version of Max. It is not available in Max4Live. You cannot assign the MIDI objects in M4L (such as [midiin], [midiout], etc) to any external MIDI device. They can only be connected directly to the track in Ableton Live in which you define them. You can't even receive/send MIDI data from/to another track in Ableton Live easily unless you do some clever jiggery-pokery.

THANKS. Now I understand better why nothing worked. 
Finally, until I have purchased the full version of Max, there is no point in me reading the tutorials dedicated to MIDI in Max for Live...?.

A list which represents a chord  can be  split with a message box  $1,$2,$3 so the notes are send after each and thus represent a chord (when feeding into makenote ) 

How does one the use a single note so that the $2,$3 of the message are not being used 

Reason for asking is that in the coll.there are chords and single notes , all going out the same output .

The chords are split using the method described above , but I obviously don't wan't that for the single note ( $2,$3  holds the previous values ) 

Can anyone help me out here ?

I know that select  output bangs when the arguments are matched .

But when the input is a list  , and it doesn't meet the argument , shouldn't the list appear at it's right outlet ? 

The manual clearly states that anything as list , input or output .

All input will be selectively output either as a bang from one of its corresponding oulets if it matches the object argument(s) or as it is out the object's right-most outlet.

Information for box attributes common to all objects

anything: If the number or symbol received in the left inlet does not match any of the arguments, it is passed out the rightmost outlet.

I need a clear distinction between ‘match’ and ‘no match’.

I tried [regexp ^\\<\\d+\\>$], but unfortunately unmatched strings produce something at both outputs 3 & 4. This is impractical, I only want something at one output at a time. I have therefore added a separation via a gate, which looks pretty dodgy and I don't want to leave it like this:

I don't really care what comes out, it can also be converted or 0/1, I just want to recognise for sure whether it is a match or not.

I get strings like this:
<1>
<12>
<2513>
they match my criterion.
Anything else than <number> does not match.

I need a clear distinction...
