Hello,

I'm trying to render multiple videoplanes in a loop: so that X instances of videoplane would show and render the same video 3-times in a row.

I tried using uzi but it won't work..

Why isn't this patch working (it will render only one) ?

I might have said that you need to erase from the middle outlet (uzi done) and bang from the left outlet of uzi but I don't think that'll work with videoplanes. You need jit.gl.multiple

jit.gl.multiple is tricky but this patch (modified from one I found here on the forum) simplifies it massively. I think the help patch should look a little more like this:

you can draw multiple videoplanes in a loop, but you have to set @automatic 0, and then send a bang every time you change the position.
