I have this simple patch where I am just dropping a folder with some videos on a jit.gl.polymovie object.

Basically every time I do that, Max becomes unresponsive.

The folder contains videos in mp4 format and it is just 250 MB overall, my machine is an M1 Max with 64 GB of ram.

I am not sure why this is happening, any help?

Whenever I open a documentation window, it appears as active in the taskbar but I can't seem to locate it anywhere. Whatever I try I can never get it to appear on my desktop. I've tried checking if it's off-screen and reinstalling, but these didn't end up being the problem. This only happens to documentation windows, not specific to any object or patch. Any input would help.

I have been porting RNBO patches into web-based applications that function perfectly in Safari or Chrome under OS-X and also on an Android phone. The problem is that the same patches will not function in iOS. The problem seems to be an interrupt to the audiobus that will not resolve. I get that iOS requires a user event  to trigger the audio context (presumably to prevent audio pop ups) and  the interrupt is likely intended to mute an audio-stream to allow for an incoming phone call -  but under iOS the audio remains interrupted. I tried inserting this code into the app.js file which seems as if it should suspend the interrupt - but still no luck. Any thoughts on this? 

        if (context.state === "interrupted") {


            context.resume().catch(() => {

I'm creating a pretty large audio reactive particles (and more) patch, my first patch this size. Close to the end of building the patch, the audio, and, by the looks of it, most of the processing has dramatically slowed down to where its playing my tracks at half speed with lots of clicking and artifacts. 

I tried checking the CPU usage and it says its averaging at 0.7%. Even after deleting a few of the more demanding elements its still an issue. I've also tried reducing unnecessary constant processing in the background, and as many unnecessary display elements as I can but it's still the same.  Yesterday I removed some metro objects that were running faster than the world fps (30) and thought that fixed it, but it's still happening.

Also, another potentially related issues: whenever I play stems from my breakbeat tracks it never plays them in sync and it's very noticeable.

I'm pretty new to max so I'm not sure if I've done a lot of things, like the controls, in a more complicated way than needed and that's the issue. 

This is for an assessment due in about one week, I've worked so hard on it and really enjoyed it but now I'm just worried I've added too much, unless there's another fixable issue I'm missing.

(Apologies for the gaps, was trying to show how it worked better upon loading and just had difficulty moving through the patch as even that's kinda laggy)

Any help or advice would be really appreciated, thanks! :)

I'm working on a set of Max for Live devices which use [send] and [receive] for sidechaining MIDI messages and combining them in interesting ways with the regular MIDI messages that come through [midiin] and [midiout].  This mostly works, but when there are a lot of messages flowing at once, as when one of the inputs is a looping clip, the device will sometimes stop emitting any MIDI output, requiring the device to be reloaded from the Ableton Live browser.  Here's a minimal reproducible example:

I guessed that the bytes from the respective streams were getting interspersed, thereby confusing [midiout] and leaving it in an unresponsive state.  So I changed my code to make sure that each stream had its own [midiparse] to accumulate the bytes and emit the MIDI messages atomically.

But I'm still seeing the same issue.  Adding message boxes for debugging, I can see that bytes are still flowing out of the [midiformat] even when it gets in the "stuck" state.  Any ideas?

Edit: I'm using Live 12.0.2 and Max 8.6.2 on Windows 11.

Hi, I'm encountering the following issue with Max. When I try to open the File Browser and Package Manager, I get error messages: "An Error occured. Connection to Max could not be established". 

Also the Max console displays the message: "synophrys_new: firewall issue? unable to find available port!" when Max is launched, three times. 

I've completely uninstalled and reinstalled Max, removed packages, etc., and the behaviour still remains. 

Has anyone else experienced this or know how I can fix it, or even troubleshoot it?

My Max crashes when choosing a new .sfz file after changing the voice number of a poly~ with sfizz~ inside. The voice has to be in mute for this bug and dsp has to be on.

Hi, I am working on my master project and using Max for the first time.

I would like to use a touch sensor to control the play and stop of a music file on my laptop, so I connect the sensor to the Arduino board and want to use Max for playing the music. However, my Max console can find my serial port connected but cannot print any information sent from Arduino. I don't know why, please help!

by clicking on the toggles, I can manually control the play and stop of the music, but I cannot use sensor to control it.

#define TOUCH_SENSOR_PIN 2 // Change to the pin you have the touch sensor connected to

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600); // Start serial communication at 9600 baud rate
  pinMode(TOUCH_SENSOR_PIN, INPUT);
  pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  int touchState = digitalRead(TOUCH_SENSOR_PIN); // Read the touch sensor state

  // If the sensor is touched, send a signal
  if (touchState == HIGH) {
    Serial.println("play"); // Send play command
    digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH);
    delay(500); // Debounce delay
  }
  if (touchState == LOW) {
    Serial.println("stop"); // Send play command
    digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW);
    delay(500); // Debounce delay
  }
  delay(10); // Short delay to prevent overwhelming the serial port
}


When I clicked the print message on the first line, here is the console:

I have generative text, I need to send messages like : 

to the jit.gl.text object. This is a string with break lines. I cannot write this mesage in a message box, 

Every word in this phrase is an element of an array, so they can change.   

How can I create breaklines \n within a long string using the new string objects ?
