for example like HTML or similar is possible?

Hi,

I'm not sure what you exactly mean by HTML, the topic is just too broad. If you mean 'downloading/uploading a webpage', then the [jit.uldl] object will help you. If you mean 'get a webpage in a structured way', then you should check this thread: https://cycling74.com/forums/download-text-from-wikipedia/ . If you wish to create a webpage with Max (although I don't really see why one would wish to do so), you may try using one of my XML creator/parser objects (I'd particularly suggest [sadam.rapidXML]) from The sadam Library (see http://www.sadam.hu/software ). And so on, depending on your exact needs.

HTH,
Ádám

How to make or convert, export max patches or standalones for visualizing and playing them on websites??

I agree that this subject is very complex, but I believe that it could be a great thing...
Also complicated ways are welcome

I heard David Zicarelli say at a conference that in the future, Gen may offer some possibility of exporting Max patches to Javascript that could be run in browsers but before that happens I think you're better off forgetting about it and trying Flash or whatever.

Thank you Jdudeo!

Does Flash allow me to play Max/Msp's patches on websites?

I don't think so.

quantesizer's icon

Can someone tell me if this is totally impossible please?

$Adam's icon

Yes, it is.

Flash won't allow you to display your max patches but you may be able to achieve a similar result just starting over using that medium

Where can I find some example?

After a little search I discovered the cloud computing...
Someone knows this?
I need a cloud that can run applications, preferably directly in the browser.

I would like to create max standalones and run them in it

That is not how cloud computing works.

That is not how cloud computing works.

Don't you know any cloud that is enabled to run applications?!

I think he means if there's a way to "upload" a patch into a website and run it. Is this possible?

it is not even possible to upload anything into a website.

Via Mira/Miraweb we can control Max patches by a web browser on our own computer. Now imagine Max running at an ISP's location, either on a desktop machine or maybe even on an Apple or Windows webserver with some desktop configuration. If web users can access the Max websocket, they can control the patch. For audible applications, the provider has to stream the audio signal in parallel.

Other than in an intranet, it is probably not trivial to reach the websockets in a secure way over the World Wide Web. Maybe multiple copies of a Max application are necessary for multiple users. Most likely you need technical staff who maintains such an installation. With audio streaming and several individual user channels this all may get expensive. But it is thinkable.

Ok thanks. I was thinking of something like exporting Jitter final render into a JS file or something too.

Rather image display/download or video streaming.
