jit.movie in poly~

I am trying to use around 15 instances of jit.movie inside a poly~ .... the videos play back BUT I continue to get output in my main window from "inactive" (i.e., stopped) jit.movie objects causing the active video to flicker.

Here is the relevant stuff from the main patch:

Max Patch
Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.

...and here is what is inside the poly~.

Max Patch
Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.

All pretty straight-forward! So no doubt it is an easy fix. Any help appreciated.

I suppose that it might also be better to have the qmetro outside of the poly~ so that only one is needed?

If you bang jit.movie, it will give you something (whether it's "playing" or "not playing").
Just bang the one jit.movie you want an image from.

Yep, the qmetro is automatically turned off on all but the poly~ instance which is supposed to be active...

set @automatic 0 on your movie objects to control there output manually (e.g. with a qmetro)
