[PD] auto 1 loops pix_film (and pix_movie?)

[Derek Holzer]

Hi Marco,

This has been normal behavior as long as I have been aware of it. That 
doesn't mean that it's not a bug, however ;-)

If you want looping + scrubbing, a better way would be to build a 
counter with a [mod] object set to the total number of frames in your 
clip, that way you could change the payback speed of the clip and (with 
some adjustments to the counter) skip around in the frames as well as go 
backwards, etc etc. (Nice topic for a FLOSS Manuals tutorial, eh Marius?)

best!
Derek
