[GEM-dev] FSAA 8 window without gemheads leads to currupted contents. (OSX)

[B. Bogart]

Hey all,

Attached is an example patch of a bug I found with chris's current gem 
compile (march 16th).

If you create a window with FSAA 8, with no gemheads in it, or with only 
gemheads that are not processing the window does not seem to start 
rendering, and apears currupted. Without FSAA 8 the window behaves as 
normal.

Also with this same compile pix_yuv seems to be the only object that 
passes texture properly. pix_grey and pix_rgba seem to only pass a still 
image in a moving video source. See "pix_rgba_bug.pd" This is anoying 
because I'm trying to use live video with a pix_mask but cannot since it 
only seems to accept two RGBA streams, but I can't get video passing 
through as RGBA! (or grey)

Last and certainly least...

Looks like the first pix_video object one creates grabs the 1394 device. 
Any subsequent pix_video's get created, but can't grab the device so 
they just sit there sending (green).

Until pix_video supports multiple devices (please please), or even 
after, it would be useful if all pix_video objects send out the same 
video no matter which particular instance is attached to the device. 
This feature would be nice because one may have more than one pix_video 
in a patch (in multiple chains) but may want to switch on the fly 
between pix_movie and pix_video (by spigoting the gemchain)  Just 
because there is more than one pix_video in a patch does not mean that 
they are indeed sending video to the screen... Maybe the last pix_video 
to be switch on (in a chain)  could grab the video..? rather than the 
first one instanciated...

I could use dynamic patching to re-instanciate the "right" pix_video, 
but that is really ugly... I'm thinking of pix_video as a catch~ for one 
particular video stream sent through throw~ I think this only effects 
pix_video since all other pix_ objects can have a local copy of a pix...

Thanks
Ben
