I know it gets brought up every once in a while, but I thought I'd post again to see what the interest was out there for getting Max working in Linux.

I jump between Mac, Winows, and Linux (Ubunutu) fairly regularly as no single OS can do everything I need under one roof. I teach at a university in physics and recording arts where I use Max, Wavelab, Nuendo, and Live extensively for demonstrations and PowerPoint/Keynote for presenting. I also run a recording/mastering/post studio where I again use Nuendo & Wavelab. But I also run an acoustic R&D company where I use Solidworks, QCAD, and a few other drawing/modeling tools. And lastly I head up an interdisciplinary research collective that mostly uses Max, but also vvvv, Processing, TouchDesigner, Quartz Composer, etc.

But I'm finding that I prefer Linux above Windows and Mac more and more for the sheer speed, customization, and adaptability even though it's by far the least supported for applications which really bums me out. While I'm a big supporter of open source I'm also happy to pay for good commercial software like Max. i just wish Max, and a few others, would run on Linux.

Max is one of the biggest hangups for me to not spend almost all of my time in Linux. PD is a great program, no doubt, but I rely on a lot of the awesome and amazing externals out there and the great Max community (along with a number of other reasons). Even getting Max to run under Wine would be OK, though native support would be much more preferable. But the iLok stuff only works on Mac/Win, even though I use the software key/internet activation.

So I'm interested if there's any other folks out there in the same boat as myself. I know Linux support is a low priority for most commercial companies that are trying squash bugs and be innovative, but I feel like Ubuntu and other flavors are on the rise and have some very cool potential in the multimedia realm (but that could also be just because I've been getting more into it personally). If there's enough of us requesting maybe we could see a Linux release in the future! Anyone else interested in seeing this happen?

i am currently trying to update a patch of mine to 64 bit since i need more memory. and i am very badly missing the jit.freenect.grab external which only runs in 32 bit.

i asked the programmer, jean marc pelletier, directly and this was his reply:

"Hi, sorry, I don’t have any time to dedicate to this project anymore… It’s open source, so if some enterprising soul (wink, wink) wants to have a stab at re-compiling, that would be great."

now... since i never compiled anything myself i am wondering: might there be any 'enterprising soul' out there who is working on this?

I have this most simple device (1 live.path and 1 live.observer objects), and when I load it, it marks Live's undo history with a "Undo change" message.

I have absolutely no idea what's going on.

Could someone confirm this, maybe explain it, and even better, help me fix it ?

But there is a bug. but I can't tell if it is from the YouTube side or node.js side. 

Maybe it's the YouTube codes. idk. How do you find out the current state of functioning codes?

(I have no affiliation with this person. Nonetheless I think this tutorial was really well made, but they got minimal love ( aka likes). Maybe it was missed by most of us. I hope they see this and keep going.)

Here's a link to some old Youtube codes. Not sure where the original source of this list can be found or where they get updated.

It's possible? I tried but the text displayed only changes if I press the "goto live_set view selected_track" message.

I would like to have a video playlist with several videos.

And operate those videos at a per frame basis, either specifying the frame or by jumping to a relative frame. 

I thought the correct way to go would be to access attributes at a per video level with setclip, but this is not working, as I assume what i want is not to modify and attribute of the movie but to send a message to the movie. 

That said, this is the patch, but i guess the correct question would be: can i send messages to movies inside a jit.videoplaylist?

I'm trying to create a system where the sum of n sliders' values  is always equal to a specified range. 

When I move slider A for example, I want sliders B, C, D, E to be affected also.  If A increases,  B, C, D, E decrease. If A decreases, B, C, D, E increase.

My coding skills are really poor, so I can't properly explain what I want to achieve. However. below I have a patch that demonstrates what I want to achieve.
