Similar to a previous thread: I was unable to do RNBO work because max suddenly refused to edit, create or open RNBO.

The console error was "Could not connect to RNBO buildserver" and several other errors including "Unable to get gRPC URI and WebSocket port from codegen server". After a day of frustration investigating network, firewalls, packet captures etc, I tried repair and reinstall, which didn't fix the issue. 

Then I deleted (Username)/AppData/Roaming/Cycling '74

This fixed the problem (so far!).  As detailed earlier by NUMB_CHANNELS in the thread 

https://cycling74.com/forums/rnbo-130-refuses-to-start

I hadn't had any crashes or issues or software updates, so I don't know how anything got corrupted in the Cycling '74 files. 

I hope this will help others who run into the issue.

A new post specifically about Max on Linux in Bottles, in which I’ll be updating you on my ongoing adventures with it. 

For general questions about Max on Linux, please visit the very helpful 

Debian -> KDE -> Bottles -> Max 8.6.5 & Max 9.1.3 ;-)

Thanks to Bottles everything works with a better graphical interface, featuring excellent boot, backup and export options, and it’s much faster than Lutris!

Maybe somebody can help with the ‘umenu’ object not working?

Return to the main screen of your Max Bottle -> remove FL Studio (or other chosen programme, remove it if you don’t need it, as it takes up a lot of space and the installed dependencies and settings will remain in that Bottle!)

It seams a long process but was completed in about 40 minutes.

Hi! I need help to figure out how they make the active knob visible and hide the no active one in the attached patch. I understand the patch logic to hide it but I don´t see how they did in the presentation mode to replace it with the active one. I have been using setdevice messages to do a similar UI effect, but I don´t see how they make it here and it looks more simple than my solution.

I actually would like to have live.numbox instead of knobs, but the UI should be like the patch attached. I would like to have the option of live.numbox with different ranges.

Hi! I am creating a series of M4L devices that use the same open gl context name. The context name is made out of the track id where the devices are sitting.  I have a device that I call "source" which is the one with the jit.world, and when I place this device alone in a track in Ableton, the jit.world window have the name of the context correct, and when I add the other devices to the same track, they all project into the same jit.world window. The problem comes when I close ableton project and open it again, then the jit.world window have a u<random number> type of name. I delete the other devices and the problem is solved. I can´t figure out why that is happening. I attached the source device and the other 2 devices patch.

Issue with Open GL context name and initiation of device in Ableton Live

 I am developing 2 max for live devices, one to control video clips playback, and another to overlay pictures on top of the video of the 1st device. They both share the same open GL context name base on the track id where the device is sitting. I manage to overlay the pictures but they appear as a black square. I experiment with the depth and blend attributes but none seems to make any difference, because the black square is always there.

Hello! I need help naming the context for jit.gl objects. I am working in a patch that have a source movie playing from a jit.gl.movie and going through some jit.fx and finally reaching a jit.gl.videoplane that fix that video to a specific layer. Then there is, on one side, a jit.gl.text that I move with mouse clicks with a jit.gl.handle, and on the other an fpic , both of them in different layers. I read in the max documentation that when working with jit.world the context should be name, so I name the jit.world as vworld and type that name into every jit.gl object there is in the patch, and now nothing is being displayed.

I am not sure I understand how to name the context correctly. For example, if I read a video with a jit.gl.movie and that video get resize with jit.gl.texture, goes through some effects and then ends in a jit.gl.videoplane to be position in a specific layer, should I only name the last jit.gl.videoplane with the context name? or every jit.gl along the way? I tried both and it doesn´t work either way.

I made a live.text button and insert on it a svg picture, and it works well, so I decided to copy-paste this button to trigger other objects, but it stop working. It have a lighter color than the original one, but every aspect in the inspector seems to be the same as the original. What am I missing?

I have a jitter patch with webcam input and output to two windows. Inside the patch i want to switch the visibility of two jit.gl.videoplanes through the @layer attribute. 

In my first window "windowLeft" it works fine, but at the second window "windowRight" switching between the videoplanes does not work. Maybe i am missing an some attribute?

I am sending text with textedit to jit.gl.text to be display on top of movie clips. I would like to be able to write text in different lines, and so far I can only write in one single line. I looked into the the textedit inspector and there is a maximum lines option, but can´t figure out how to enter text and hit enter and continue typing text. There is also a Separator option but I choosed a symbol thinking that it would be understood as a line separator but it seems it doesn't work that way. Probably is something very easy to do, but can´t figure it out.
