I created and rendered an mp4 movie file using kdenlive where the "slideshow" ends at 02:27:28:21 and an end title displays until 02:27:54:01 giving the movie 266,222 frames at 30 fps and 8874 seconds of run time.  The length of the "slideshow" was determined by the length of a set of mp3 audio files that are supposed to eventually be the soundtrack of the final movie.

When jit.movie reads the file, the correct fps 30, framecount 266222, and time_secs 8873.6416 property values are reported, but when jit.movie is running in a M4L device I also created (

 question) doing audio reactive video effects to the "raw" slideshow, the movie consistently finishes (and loops or not) before the mp3 audio files finish (and loop or not), video ending nearly a minute early taking the end title time into account.

This same "fast clock" run time behavior of jit.movie occurs whether Live is running under External MTC timecode sync or its own clock. And strangely, the "time ruler" display setting at the bottom of Live's Arrangement view might make a difference in how "fast" the movie plays back?  After "discovering" that time ruler and switching it to 30 fps matching the movie to verify Live thinks the unwarped mp3 audio files run (approximately) 02:27:28:xx, I think I started seeing the "better" (less fast) end time for jit.movie playing the mp4 file reported here.

I'm using OBS to record the "FX pass" video received from the M4L device patch over Spout, and the recording process might also be impacting the playback?  But I would expect any "unexpected impact" like that to slow down performance, not improve it.

I don't need the audio and video to stay in sync and loop for days at a time, one pass within say 10 frames would be fine.  What can I do?  Anything?

I am developing a max for live device that play clips in the session view in Live, and these clips send read messages to a jit.gl.movie object that plays them in a jit.world. Everything runs well on my Mac laptop, but recently I got some unusual heating that I thing is related to the jit use and the rendering of these movie clips. I am reducing the dimensions of my clip after they go through jit.gl.movie to 1280x700. After that I applied some jit effects ( color saturation, hue, delay and vhs). What other precautions should I take care in the patching in other to reduce the stress of GPU? Also, I monitor the CPU and GPU of my laptop while using the device, but I am not sure what numbers should I be careful.

I am also monitoring the jit.world in Max with the fps it renders, and I notice that even when the movie clips are not playing, it keeps active the monitoring of fps. I tried giving it the argument enable 0 but it just disappear  the window.

Sorry for so many questions in one, I am starting to work with jit and videos.

The patch in the screenshot below is running perfectly with Preview Mode On. Preview Mode Off completely kills the performance to the point of the patch being unusable - audio crackles and drops out. What is going on?

Is there a trick for reaching the LOM's Tuning System? 

A little tick box in the settings or something that i'm missing.  

I've tried setting the path "live_set tuning_system" but always returns id 0

Same with the built-in M4L snippet M4L.api.ObserveTuningSystem

I got a padkontrol and i used personnal Mackie and Tranzport emulation, added Bome midi translator to get even more controls (like cycling through the folders in Browser view,very cool and simple :D)

But now i'm bored with such a mess...too much things at the same time

Two ways for me now, at least to eliminate emulations :

-make my own controller python script , like Korg should have done :D , based on nanokontrol Myr or the FCB1010 looper scripts : they work on AL8 (python version changed on AL8), so i just need to add some old decompiled python from other controllers scripts ;)

-use M4L, with python or regular patches, to access the same API

-can i do the same things with API in M4L than with controller python scripts ?

Are the objets,method... exactly the same, so i can integrate controller python scripts directly inside M4L, with minimal recoding ?

May be the question is already asked thousand times, but i can't access the Search function here : every time i click on Search, it disapear (old IE6 crap at job ;)

I need to delete part of the path I am getting into my patch in order for the jit.gl.movie I am using, can read the file. I am using regexp object to do it but still leave part of the path I need to substitute. What am I doing wrong?

Impossible to use the new live.routing object.

Pasting the help patcher for midi input (it's the same with audio or output as well) in an empty midi max device does nothing here on win 10/ Live 12.0b28 / Max8.6.1

The umenus show inputs of another computer.. =)

I am on windows and it shows IAC Driver etc...

Rebooting Live or PC doesn't change anything;..

And before the venue of this object I used another little patch in Live 11 that did the same and this one is not working anymore in L12, menus there are allways empty...

Live.routing bug ?

 and playing_slots_index. I am trying to simply stop a movie playing in jit when the playing_slot_index turn -2, which means all clips in that track have stoped. So I patch a sel -2 so that when I get that number, a bang is send to a stop message to the jit. For some reason I can´t is not working. When I click stop all clips in Live, I receive a -2 in the live.observer, but after I click it again, then it send the bang to the stop. I did plenty of tries with other objects like t b, == -2, etc., but no chance. Anyone experience a similar issue?

I am developing my first max for live device, and I am stuck trying to do that my device recognise which midi slot is launched in the session view. Also I would like that it can tell what's the name of the midi clip launched. The device is placed in the same midi track, so I understand I have to start my patch with live.thisdevice patched with live.path this_device canonical parent, so it can identify the track where the device is sitting on. After that I am very confuse about how to use live.object and live.observer. I understand that with live.observer I can get the info of when the clip is launched? Is that right? I am not sure now what live.object could do :/ After I figure out that, the idea is that I will get the name of the empty midi clip launched and this will go to a node, and this will look for some movie clips files and play them in a jit.world window. That part I have it figure out, but launching and getting the information out of the launched slot is still difficult to understand.
