"clear" message to jit.movie
Hi all,
jit.movie accepts the "clear" message, also visible in the messages menu. But it is not documented on the reference page. What does the "clear" message do exactly when sent to the jit.movie object?
Best,
Matthias
*bump* could anyone comment on this?

it clears the current stored output matrix (sets to black). if the player is stopped, and you send the clear message, it should output a black frame.
Does it unlink to the movie file?
so i can delete the file without the system saying that file is in use?
Thanks for clarifying, Rob!

@SPA, that is the "dispose" message
Does still work? Because in my patch it does not.
looks like it doesn't work when output_texture is enabled. we'll take a look. in the meantime here's a workaround:
Hmmm, doesn't seem to work in my patch because [groove] is driving [jit.movie] cause of the different audio outputs.
either make sure @unique 1 is enabled on your jit.movie, or send your jit.movie output through a gate, that is opened and closed prior to the start/stop messages.
Yes @unique1 did the trick! Thanks! :)
When do you think the fix for jit.movie will be released? I'm not expecting it for this project, but just good to know.
