[PD] stability of Gem for video playing

[Alexandre Quessy]

Hi all,

Hey Ruben, I am working on a project that is exactly the same thing than
this. I will use OSC, not netsend. Well, I will use UDP anyways. If you
are open, we could share patches and researches. I will use Pd with a
very minimum GUI and I think I will use a command-line patcher and a
MIDI keyboard for controls.

Regarding Gem, I was wondering if a computer could run 2 instances of PD
both running Gem ? My tests resulted in failures.

::: PD-extended OSX version:

Also, I would like a feedback regarding which Pd-Extended version I
should be using. Should I use 0.38-4 that seems for me the most stable,
or can I use the latest 0.39-2-test1 ? Also, should I copy the plist as
written in the doc (because right now I always write my own .pdrc...) ?
To add libraries, I like to use the .pdrc.

Thanks, keep up the good work !
