Hello Synaesthesia 

Hey there, I can't get this simple thing working myself. Sigh. 

I believe I have this set up properly according to the tutes but it's not functioning. This video file works when dropped into the Vizzie Playr directly, but the loadbang doesn't automatically add the video when the patcher is loaded, or when I double click on loadbang. Does the video file need to be somewhere specific to get the file connected properly? The files are together and I tried different locations but it didn't help. 

Anyone have any ideas on what's wrong here?

Thanks!

You coud try 
video.mp4
absolutepath
prepend read

the leftmost inlet of PLAYR does not take a read message, however the rightmost inlet does.

Alternatively, you can tell the PLAYR to store its currently playing file by creating a snapshot in your main patch (the patcher will save the active snapshot when you save the patch and recall it when the patch is loaded).

Look at the vz.playr help file, check out the 3rd tab, and you'll see how you're supposed to give the read message to the module.

Thank you all, changing the input to the right worked.

And thanks Jean-Francois — I need to get better at reading the help files!
