I am wondering if there is a way/how to include video files in a jit.playlist when building a standalone application.

I have a patch with jit.playlist and three videos in the list. I go to File/Build Application and have included the folder that contains the videos. I select application and it build fine except...

when I open the application on a different machine the playlist searches the same file path that I originally used to create the build.

Currently this is a limitation of jit.playlist. We are working on fixing this up for a future update. Apologies for the inconvenience.

In the meantime, you could kind of 'hack' the json of the Max patcher to change the 'filename' of each clip to have a non-absolute file path. If the movie files are in the search path of the standalone, it should work.

I am new in this and trying to create a standalone that needs the limitation of jit.playlist.

Could someone help me doing what Ben says to do?

Hi!

I'm wondering, so jit.playlist and playlist~ is useless like that.

It should find the files in a Max search path/ userpath. Or a right mouse click would be nice to reconnect to a folder.

looking forward, also the possibility to save attrui in presets.

Hey Ben, any word on whether this issue has been addressed? I can't import audio files into playlist~ in my standalone either.

There are still issues related to automatically including playlist~/jit.playlist files in a Project. I suggest manually adding these files to your project, or manually storing them in the app package, then reading in the files when the standalone is loaded.
