[PD] pixelTango trouble

Hi Pat,

Since you have PiDiP working you may be the first to experiment with the
possibility of using the fx/ interface to great PDP filter abstractions
for pixelTANGO.

Try the installer and let me know if it still does not work. Are you
using the latest version? 0.3.3? CVS snapshot?

If you mean Jamie's CoreGraphics extensions to tck/tk those are in the
0.3.3 pixelTANGO.app. Or do you mean something else?

If the .app still does not work on your machine you could do a gdb trace
and let me know what causes PD to quit when you load an example. Are you
using the pixelTANGO externals required that are included with
pixelTANGO, or your own builds?

As for AccessGrid I was hoping get RA job working on something with AG
again (I've long since left the university) But an art college here has
CANet so there may be some more opportunities for accessgrid and PD. My
initial thought was two fold. #1 a OSC multicasting server that could be
used for OSC communication over the fiber-network. #2 Creating some
interface between Thomas's py/pyext and the python API for accessgrid.
We can use QTL files to get Gem to load network streams, though last
time I heard QT did not differenciate between SRCID and then randomly
chose the first stream that was available on a particular multicast
region. Maybe they have fixed this? For streaming out apparently the GL
to video stream for encoding is pretty tricky.
