material/ texture on jit.gl.text and jit.gl.path?

My problem is fairly simple. Ive been playing with jit.gl.text and jit.gl.path, but have had trouble applying textures to them.

Both react the same - if you plug in jit.gl.material, and try to set it to one of the textured presets (the stones, for instance), the object changes color, but wont apply the texture. Similarly, if you plug a jit.gl.texture into them, and try to run a video through it, you get some sort of response - the object changes color, but doesn't display the texture.

Is there any approach/ formatting i can do in order to get a texture onto these objects? any help appreciated, i have searched for answers here, but found nothing specific.
