I'm having trouble with very basic video playback using jit.playlist into jit.world. Even using the built in sample movies. Video playback stops after a second (audio continues fine). I thought this was supposed to be really simple and beginner friendly. Am I missing something? Am I wrong in thinking you should be able to send jit.playlist directly to jit.world without intermediary objects?

hi josh, what OS and what architecture (32 or 64) are you running?

if you are on Mac, have you changed your video-engine preference from the default of AVF?

Thanks for your reply Rob. OS X 10.10.5, Max in 32 bit mode. I'm using the QT engine, but when I switch the preference back to AVF I see the same issue.

you will have to close and re-open your patch after switching the preference back to avf.

Aha. Yes, it does work OK in avf mode. But I assume it should work in qt mode too?

the quicktime framework is deprecated, and therefore some things may not work as expected, especially on yosemite and el cap. if there's a particular reason you need quicktime, you can disable output_texture on the jit.playlist (send the message output_texture 0). this gets enabled by default when a jit.playlist is hooked directly to a jit.world object. but of course, we recommend you stick with the AVF engine, as that is the modern framework for video playback.
