-Send- from M4l to a Max/jitter patch

Hello there, i'm trying to send simple max data from a m4l device to a max patch open out of live...

It's a very simple sequencer purposed to control jitter outside of live.
it works when the M4l editor is open, but not when it's closed.

does it need to have any special arguments or such??

How are you sending the data? The 'send' object will only work within the application (Live) when it's not being edited. If you want to send between applications, your best bet is to use either MIDI with inter-application routing or udpsend/udpreceive.

Hello! what do you think about object send for video in M4L? For communicate into the different devices of M4L? I'm trying it but it makes CPU crashh. Do you know another way?

Had exactly the same issue and I did it with udpsend 127.0.0.1 and receive with whatever port and works perfectly. MIDI is limited for some kinds of streams.

All the best!
