V2.1 : MoviePlayer + palindrome = ghost process !

[spidflinch]

Hi,

i just did this :

a sinle MoviePlayer loaded with a standard Quicktime PhotoJpeg movie,
settings : speed = 0, position initialize = 100, play length = 80, loop = palindrome

as i initialize the scene, the MoviePlayer keeps on triggering, the processor gets hot (ventilation begins),
and if i work to much with this on - still don't know when : i'm keeping on trying to reproduce it for sure -
the scene starts to load very slow, and the process created (IzzyMoviePlayer32) isn't killed when i quit the scene
(therefore the process is duplicated each time !), nore even after i quit Isadora !!
(cf attached pictures)

NB : unlikely the ClassicMoviePlayer, the position 100 isn't the end of the play length ; the movie comes backward after... same problem with standard loop on, but in this case the process stops and the position is initialized at the play start

Stephane,

What I doesn't understand is why you initialise at 100? If the loop will be between 0 and 80, you need to initialize somewhere between 0 and 80, 100 is out of your choice.

And why photo-JPEG?

I tried to reproduce it, with h264 and p-jpeg, changing scene, no problem.

I only ask why you don't have the little eye on top of movie player? and why you have QT in playback engine (I have AV for the both)

@spidflinch

Are your system specs correct?

If you are running OSX 10.6.8 you can expect many issues.

Isadora 2.x on Mac uses the AV foundation, and I don't believe its available in that OS version. 

AV foundation continues to be improved, but really became useable for Isadora around OSX 10.9

@jhoepffner
i'm upgrading a 4 years old patch still in use !...
i find the old way (full range position despite the play length) quite useful, as many actors default is 0-100. (but quite tricky, i agree, to get a specific position !)

i opened your attached patch, and reproduced my problem with speed set at 0

@DusX
what do you mean by system specs ?

@both
i know, my good old MPB is living its last monthes !!...

@spidflinch

I was referring to your system specifications outlined in your forum signature/footer.

@DusX ok, so i just answered in my last post !...

If you can update to 10.9 (or even 10.8) you should see huge improvements.
