the attached patch shows stange behaviour:

The aim is to be able to drag in a folder with movie files and let the patch create clips with the names of the files and attach their Id to a coll, to be able to play the movies from the clip view in Live, and with this with a controller (eg. APC40).

This does work as long as the patch is open in Max: the clips are created and named. and it is possible to play the movies by playing the named clips.

When the device is just in ableton, this does not work. the clips are created, but not named, that I don't get at all.

also they are not connected to the movies, because the coll is not filled. I have read about  coll not properly working within m4l. is there a way around this? should i get into dict? i never uses it before. 

The "bug" shows up if i use the Ableton internal or the external Max app.

If you want to look at the patch, all the stuff i mentioned happens within the "cliploader" subpatch.

any help or hint is highly appreciated. Thank you very much

P.S.: OSx10.15.7, ableton 11.3.21, max 8.5.6(internal), 8.6.2 Full App

Helllo dear all,

your live object and observer stuff is not timed correctly.

open max window of your device, both in edit and runtime.

now i see the  red messages when in runtime mode. 

but none of them appear when in edit mode. this is what i do not get, doesn't that mean that it actually works but somehow m4l "bugs" it?

"live.object: Setting the Id cannot be triggered by notifications. You will need to defer your response." comes from an object that is not actively involved in the process

max and max4 live are 2 different things.

while editing m4live device , max takes over the timing

by the way, why do you embed coll verknup ?

should be empty when saved, unless you want some embeded movies ?

i guess "@embed 1" is habit. i deleted it. changes nothing.

but some [deferlow] before "live.object" helped

still the first name is missed, and the last created clip empty and unnamed. but...

this aside it works now, also the connection* between the clis and the movies works

So timing in m4l is different... I never had these problems. 

*(=> verknüpfung~vernknup(not really german))

there are so many things which are simply wrong.

For example any selected track / clip will get inserted a movie clip,

you must limit clip creation to track where device is inserted.

„For example any selected track / clip will get inserted a movie clip,“

I don’t get what you mean. It only creates clips for the movies in the folder and only on the devices track.

you querry highlited_ clip slot which can be highlited in any track.
