Which version of Live supports viddll engine in an M4L device?
In Live 12.2.7 (don't know which Max version that brings) I do get errors from an M4L containing
jit.movie @engine viddll @output_texture 1 @autostart 1 @automatic 0 @cache_size 30 @vol 0
jit.movie: viddll video engine not supported - using default avf video engine
and then of course:
jit.movie: loadram is not available with avf engineThis results in sluggish access via frame_true (I haven't looked into the seeknotify workaround yet).
Is there a version of Live where this is available?
Thanks
It seems that viddll doesn't comes bundled into the Max that ships with Live: https://cycling74.com/forums/max-8-1-4-released#reply-5ed141ef4ccf1772ea924584
Installing the viddll package from the package manager, or setting Live to use a standalone version Max should solve it.
Ah, that explains it, thanks! However, if I open the Max editor from Live, go to its package manager, it offers viddll 1.2.9 but the install hangs.
And now things get weird: the Live-bundled Max sees all my other installed packages, but not viddll, probably because it is not in the Documents Packages, but in /Applications/Max.app/Contents/Resources/C74/packages/VIDDLL.
My standalone Max has viddll 1.3.0, maybe incompatible with Live's Max, but I can't downgrade to 1.2.9: "Error while attempting to install VIDDLL".
How to get out of this catch? Force-copy viddll into the device? into Live's Max?
EDIT: using the external Max version does it, but it is still weird...
Cheers!
