is there a way to do these screenshots such that they don't actually show up on a screen visible to the user i.e I don't have to show the raw Pd patch to the user, only the mix? This is a 2-headed machine (one machine --- I'll use 2 if I absolutely have to) and the plan is to show a Gem or pdp window fullscreen on one head and a pdp window fullscreen on the other. This leaves me not sure where to put the Pd patch for the screenshots.<br>

</div></div>a bit complicated, but you can do that by doing screenshots with<br>
gstreamer, send it to a videoloopback device and read that (with pdp,<br>
Gem, GridFlow or whatelse)<br>
<br>
- get v4l2loopback (<a href="http://code.google.com/p/v4l2loopback/" target="_blank">http://code.google.com/p/v4l2loopback/</a>)<br>
compile, install, load the module<br>
- get gst-v4l2loopback (<a href="http://github.com/umlaeute/gst-v4l2loopback" target="_blank">http://github.com/umlaeute/gst-v4l2loopback</a>)<br>
compile (need gst-plugin-base-dev), install<br>
<br>
run the gstreamer-pipeline, e.g.<br>
$ gst-launch ximagesrc use-damage=false startx=0 starty=0 endx=640<br>
endy=480 ! queue ! ffmpegcolorspace ! v4l2loopback<br>
<br>
access the video using [pix_video], [pdp_v4l2] [#camera] or cat<br>
<br>
<br>
running here.<br>
this of course only grabs a portion of the screen, rather than a window<br>
and track that...<br>
