I just treated myself to max 7 and have a slight problem: it seems as if (Win 8.1, Max 7 x64) the jit.playlist doesn't work for me. I noticed it on the "What's new" tour but I also have the same problem on a new patch:

Whenever I drag a movie clip to the patcher, the console claims "couldn't find" (for example with "media/jitter/sunflower.mp4". The same applies to the Video Browser from the left sidebar. All the videos from the Max 7 library are listed, but with a crossed-out icon and with the error message, if I try to drag them to the patcher.

Does anyone know what went wrong here? It's possibly a noob problem...

Edit: It seems as if a reinstall (this time 32bit) with some reboots fixed the video problem but I still can't view the documentation under the "Max Documentation" Help menu. I only get an error message in the top right corner like "no such xmlfile: javascriptinmax.maxvig.xml". What is wrong here?

win 64 users are recommended to follow the instructions here, to support playback of factory mp4 files (although not mov files):

https://www.ableton.com/en/articles/live-64-windows-video-playback/

specifically, install the Haali Media Splitter, and ffdshow codec pack components.

Thanks for the tip! After some time I got the x32 version to work as expected but it took me some de/reinstalls, I don't know why, but well, as long as it works...

No matter where movies are stored, the object reports "cannot find" message whereas 32bit version shows them no problem. Could well be a bug in 64bit version of the object.

I am having exactly the same issue.

I have the same problem. Windows 8.1 x64. However, I'm running a 32 bit Max. I tried downloading the two things suggested by Rob. I'm not entirely sure how they are supposed to help...

Eumh, I have the same (similar) problem. My 16:9 Apple ProRes 422 LT 1920 × 1080 files are being read by the jit.playlist.

The same file 4:3 Apple ProRes 422, Timecode 720 × 480 are not found and not supported by the console.

I think I figured it out, I should have left a reply sooner, but I completely forgot about this thread. The file needs to be in MP4 format, otherwise it won't be recognized.

Really didn't chagne anything but made a new patch and put all files togheter and changed to maps name in to something small and it works again..
