Subject: [javascript-dev] seek message for 'sfplay~' from Javascript
References: <1a9fc.46806f3f@www.cycling74.com>
Message-ID: <5D41E33819424847A08D3E7971CDE25D217AF8@EVS-EC1-NODE3.surrey.ac.uk>

Hello

I am trying to use 'seek' message associated with 'sfplay~' from javascript. The code is as follows:

//Recording to be played
        rec = "meatloaf_004.wav";

//open the specified recording to be played through sfplayer. sfplayer is the equivalent Javascript object for 'sfplay~'
	sfplayer.message("open",rec);

//Playing from X msec onwards.
	sfplayer.message("seek",X);

//looping
	sfplayer.message("loop",1);

When running this snippet of javascript, the playback starts from 0 msec instead of X msec. Am I doing anything wrong here? Some of you please suggest a solution for this?

Many thanks

Sunish

Subject: [javascript-dev] JitterListener and jit.qt.movie read...bug?
Message-ID: <1ace2.468d51e4@www.cycling74.com>


I would expect that a JitterListener would catch the "read" message that normally comes out of a jit.qt.movie object, but this doesn't seem to be the case?  Here is a simple javascript and patch that I would expect this to post a "read <file> <1/0>" in the max window...but it does not! It does, however, post a "flatten" message after that is successful.

/*
 listens to a jit.qt.movie's output.  It doesn't seem to generate a "read" message after I read a file?  The savemovie and flatten are in here simple to demonstarte that the listener is working at least for the "flatten" command
*/

var mov01 = new JitterObject("jit.qt.movie");
mov01.autostart = 0;
var mov01listen = new JitterListener(mov01.getregisteredname(), listenresults);
var movpath = "\.";

function listenresults(event) 
{
	post("
listener",event.eventname);
}

function readmov(v){
	mov01.read(v);
	mov01.savemoviecopy(movpath);
	mov01.flatten(movpath);
}

function savepath(v){
	post("
path",v);
	movpath = v+"junk.mov";
}

//end simplelistener.js

also, i'd expect the savemoviecopy to generate something that the listener would "hear", but it doesn't seem to either...

Hi all,

Here is an addendum to a problem I posted earlier on the maxmsp list.

Symptom 1: multiple instances of the same abstraction (which contains a js
object for the purpose of creation dynamic number of audio outputs) create
objects ok when included in the same file (see poly_test.pat below), their
#0 argument is for some reason cross-polluted. So if we have a "boo" and
"bao" instance, both of them will be for some reason instantiated as "boo"
in this case.

Symptom 2: matters are worse when using this in conjunction with poly~ (see
main.pat below) where sometimes instance 1 fails to create objects. I tried
rigging the code with Tasks to delay their execution within javascript which
for the most part minimizes failure to create objects, but (depending on the
time it takes to instantiate poly object, especially in the case of more
complex objects) its success rate is impossible to assess consistently. I
also tried using setname message which would be responsible for
instantiating object's name via external message and that does not work
consistently either.

Expected behavior: multiple instances should instantiate as per their #0
vars and create/delete objects as expected.

FWIW, I tried changing js filenames as well as making two different
(identical) abstractions with different filenames in hope to make them more
different, neither of which had any bearing in this case.

Any insight in this matter is most appreciated.

NB: in order for this example to work, please use exact .pat and .js names

I haven't looked closely at your files, but I have a hunch that you
have global variables messing things up.  In js, variables are global
unless declared with the var keyword where global means global to all
js objects in max.

example:

var x = 10;

function test()
{
    y = 100;
}

In the above code, x is not global but y is.

The problem is that your name variable is not declared in your global  
code. So it becomes global to every instances of your js code. That  
is usually the problem when you see when 2 instances of the same js  
seems to share things.

I couldn't reproduce that one. Next time if you can put an archive

That's it! Many thanks for keeping me sane! For some reason I thought that
variable declarations within functions were local. Would function.local=1;
have helped in this case, or would that simply prevent external calls of
such functions but have no bearing whatsoever on shared data?

Again, many thanks for the tip!

Best wishes,

Ico

Nope yourfunctionname.local = 1 sets the local property of a function  
to true? in other word, the function will be local to the file, so  
you can't call it from outside of the Max object (it'll says  
yourfunctionname is private in the Max window).

if I can't get "read" reportage from the jitter listener, is there another way to find out if a js-instance of jit.qt.movie has sucessfully read a movie?  I was hoping to incorporate this with a Task, such that once the listener heard the file was read, it would execute the Task.

all you have to do is read the movie with

result = mov01.read(v);

then result[0] will return the name of the file, and result[1] will return a 0 or a 1 depending on whether the read was successful.

right...I guess the sad part is that sequencing this with Tasks is perhaps more of a pain. I did something similar with the Listener for flatten, and eventually got that to work, and I was hoping to pretty much reuse that code but listen for "read", rather than flatten. I expected the "read" to come from the Listener, since the Jitter 1.62 docs, when discussing the Listener in Tutorial 47, state:
"...For example, when you read a movie file into jit.qt.movie, the 
object outputs the message read followed by the movie?s filename and a status number out its status outlet. "

I am pretty sure that asyncread works with the Listener. read, being  
synchronous, doesn't.

AH! Thanks Jeremy.  substituting "asyncread" for "read" in the above script does indeed result in a "read" message coming from the listener.

Can you stand another one?  I hope so, cuz I seem to surfing the edges of Max scheduling, and not understanding it.
This simple, but complete, patch and javascript are an attempt to read a folder of movies and output a sample frame from each, using a Task and JitterListener.  The big mystery to me is why when I use the mov.matrixcalc() method in function thecallback(), it doesn't actually output a matrix.  The simple example of "readit", when called from the outside does what I want to do, so I know I'm using the correct code to output a matrix from a jit.qt.movie in js.  I presume it has to do with the asyncread, which the JitterListener seems to say is all finished, but it is apparently not, since the matrixcalc results in nothing!  

Is there a way to get this working??

Thanks,

Peter.

At the beginning of my js code I have

The autowatch works, but the JSUI object still only shows 1 inlet and 1 outlet no matter what I do.

Any thoughts?

I normally delete, then undo and it comes back with the right number
with inlets/outlets.  Assuming you've done everything right... that
works.

Even stranger, I had to move the js file to the same location as the patch I was working on.  Then I deleted and undid and it came back and WITH the correct ports.

THANKS!!!

That's true. Changing the number of inlets/outlets requires the  
recreation of the object (the object can't just self-destruct an  
reinstantiate a new one). AFAIK inlets and outlets property are the  
only one which requires that, otherwise autowatch is just great.

Message-ID: <1aff1.469cb5ee@www.cycling74.com>


Hi.
1st of all, sorry if this sounds very easy and stupid to you but these are my very first steps into JS.

I'm trying to get a bpatcher scripting name from inside of it.
I've searched on the javascript list and tried different scripts but can't get it working.
Now I have a really simple js and I place it inside a named bpatcher and I only get <undefined> when I ask for his scriptname.
If someone could have a look at the following example...
(I also have the js inside a patcher to compare)

____________________________________

function bang()
{
	post(this.patcher.varname);
}

I'm certainly not a js expert, but 'this.patcher.box.varname' should  
work.

That should be

}


Check it out in javascriptinmax.pdf, the varname property belongs to Maxobj, not to Patcher

Is there anything I can call to get the mouse position regardless if it is inside the JSUI or not?  I am using a metro and message to have some internal code poll something, but I need the XY relative to the JSUI.

Thanks!

Hi Peter

Just got around to taking a look at this. It appears that, yes, there  
is a "sync" problem with asyncread and the JitterListener. I don't  
know precisely when this will get fixed, but it will get fixed.

i'm not so sure it's just a javascript problem, as I encounter a similar difficulty with regular old max patching.  This patch, when used with a library of DV clips, demonstrates that the "read" message from an asyncread isn't actually reported after the movie is "readable" by qt.movie.  I would expect that, in this patch, asyncread and read would give similar results.

Hi -

I may be missing something obvious, but...

I want to output all the cell values of a small javascript-instantiated jit.matrix, all at once as a list of numbers or an array.

Is there any way to do this in one step, or do I have use getcell() to get the values one at a time to assemble an array first?

IE, is there a method like getcell() but for multiple cells?

Hi, 

on http://ftm.ircam.fr/index.php/A_brief_introduction_to_FTM
it is stated that:
"FTM objects can also be created, accessed and manipulated in the Max/MSP JavaScript externals js and jsui"

I have not found documentation about this feature. Can anyone point me to one or have any tips as for instance how to access and modify an fmat from a js object? 
So far I have been issuing messages from js outlets to control ftm objects through patch lines which is somewhat cumbersome but this is the best I have found so far.

thanks!
