strange one to come across, just want to make sure it's not just me, can anyone confirm(i'm on a new M1 MacBookPro, 14-inch, 2021, M1, 32GB RAM), simply instantiating a 'jit.playlist' object causes Max to immediately crash to the desktop everytime, so long as 'qt' is chosen as the video engine.

1) open Max, and go into 'Preferences', making sure that 'qt' is chosen as the video engine

2) from within Max, create a new blank patcher

3) instantiate a jit.playlist object(just type 'jit.playlist' into an empty object box and tab/click out to instantiate)

expected results: upon creation, Max should continue running as normal creating a blank jit.playlist object with its default appearance

additional info: on my M1 mac, i notice that switching the gl engine doesn't require restart if the engine is 'qt', but just mentioning here, i tried both gl2 and gl3, they both crash if the video-engine is 'qt', but everything runs fine with 'avf', or 'viddll' engines(no matter the gl selection on those two... we're probably moving to 'metal' soon, anyways(?), and this is more a conflict with video-engines than gl-engine... but just thought i'd try out switching gl-engine to see if that might add some helpful info. here... there ya have it 😇).

jit-playlist-crashes-reliably-upon-instantiation-on-m1-macbookpro

in general qt should never be used, it remains in place only for the case of windows max-for-live users when the viddll engine is not installed. I will look into removing it as an option for mac. thanks for the report.

(i understand now: got a new mac, the installer defaulted max to startup with 'qt', i've always used 'viddll' on mac)... almost thought i found a reliable crash with jit.vcr too(a freeze that only happens when i click 'write' to jit.vcr... happens often, been trying to use it alot for '

', sometimes frustrating to force-quit so much, but i'll keep searching for the exact context...), i used to use syphon, i realize there are other options, but today it worked perfectly(after i deleted two vst~ objects), so i want to keep trying to use it.

anyways, it worked nicely just now, so i do this happy dance for you:

Thank you, immensely, especially in difficult times, with work/life/depression/anxiety/etc. this expressive-environment helps makes that little bit of precious, creative energy travel so much farther, when what little of it does comes around 🦾🔥❤️

Thank you, Rob!
