[GEM-dev] error: Cannot open

[Elektro Moon]

Gents,

so looks like i am on a totally wrong way. If playlist is not supported, I
need other solution instead of VLC.
Anyway for some reason my patch again does not allow to open any files.
When add 8z.mov and create Gem window pd prints:\
GEM: Start rendering
GL: invalid enumerant

pix_info now shows 64x720 pix resolution which is a bit strange for the
first sight.
Once Gem window is totally black, than after closing and opening rendering
shows white plane.
Can anyone suggest why the resolution is so different than HD? and why the
color changes?

Thanks a lot in advance:
Popesz
