[GEM-dev] error: Cannot open

[Elektro Moon]

Iohannes,

you were right, [create, 1( is the solution. Plays all files, but the
quality is extremely poor.
As I was in a big fog, everything is blur. The original size of the videos
are 1280x720 and the dimen for gemwin is the same. If I reduce the size to
360x180, no difference, all blur.

Tried meanwhile to open playlists created in VLC, but no luck, PD creates a
black rectangle, and nothing is played. Tried with m3u,m3u8,html or
anything VLC offers as a playlist file type. What do you think, how should
it work?

Regards:

Popesz
