I was very excited that the new max 9 release made the native input work for my ultrastudio 4k mini.  However I've been having trouble for a while, with both native and non-native inputs (the non-native has disappeared with my upgrade to sequoia).  If I leave my patch, or even the jit.grab Blackmagic help file open for a bit it disconnects and I have to reopen the device.  This is very disruptive to my microscopy workshops (running a sony rx0 II w/4k hdmi output for live video from my microscope).  I was wondering if anyone with this device had found a workaround.  Or, worse case scenario maybe someone could recommend another device to digitize video that is more max friendly?  I do need an output for raw video to an external screen on it.  I tried an Elgato 4k device but it drops frames here and there and this is very disruptive to my application- being the trails of microscopic critters, it make little gaps in the trails.  So far the 4k ultrastudio is the only device that does not drop frames, but it has this issue of disconnecting randomly, nothing in the max console about it.  It seems to happen more when I don't click anything in my patch and just go outside to vape etc, it takes anywhere from 3-20 min and it will always disconnect.

I just installed Max 9. I copied all settings from Max 8.

In Max 9 bpatchers cannot be loaded. I presume Max can't find them on my drive.

 bpatcher: error loading patcher XXX.maxpat

Any idea what I need to change to resolve this? How can I add my search paths from Max 8?

Edit: Copying my search path file from Max 8 to Max 9 resolved the issue.

As I've gotten to fight a long time with this problem, and I've just figured out a solution, I write it here to help other people having a similar issue !

 When I build standalones for Windows of some of my patches doing video processing, it happens that they work on some machines and not on others.

Investigating this issue, I've discovered that there is a problem in Max Console saying "Error 126 loading external jit.viddll.engine" (and some other error 126 for other video externals) when I launch the standalone.

In fact, the problem is that these externals (included in Max distribution) are developed on Visual Studio and rely on some DLL (but the error 126 doesn't give this explanation).

 All you have to do is to add msvcp120.dll and msvcr120.dll in the same folder as your standalone.

The attached DLL are working for Max 8.1 (64 bits version). With other versions of Max, you may have to use other versions of the DLL...

PS : it would be nice that Cycling74 developers find a way to include theses files automatically on standalone build.

msvcp120.dll

msvcr120.dll

Hi,

"error-126-loading-external-jit-viddll-engine"-in-windows-standalone-on-some-machines

PS: This is still an issue with Max 8.1.5 


thanks for the report. I thought we had this fixed in 8.1.5 but I'll take another look.

Hey J Gaston, 

I'm having a similar issue. When you say "add msvcp120.dll and msvcr120.dll in the same folder as your standalone", do you mean the user of the application should do this, or I should do this when I'm compiling the standalone? 


Hey all, can confirm that this is still an issue on Max 8.1.10.
On some Windows machine I'm receiving the errors: 
  
Error 126 loading external clang
Error 126 loading external gl3

Following on the question by Martin: where should those libraries be placed in order for them to work? 

Thank you! 



I believe in the same folder as the standalone exe file

I get this error in Max 8 when I try to access ppooll even after downloading the .dll files and pasting them in my ppooll folder.  Does anyone have any insight here? I'm new to Max/MSP and ppooll and am eager to use it. Thanks!

since a month I work on a MacBook Pro 16" M1 Max, which worked flawlessly up until a few days ago, when working with Max got increasingly slow.

The fps in resource hungry jitter patches are still fine, but when creating objects, typing in numbers and all that stuff there seems to be a serious "display lag". I.e. when drawing a slider or turning a dial by mouse, the function itself remains prompt and fine, but sometimes it takes seconds for the slider to visually follow my mouse-movement.

Also opening Max takes a lot longer than it used to, very often when opening the reference sidebar I get the "spinning rainbow wheel" for at least a second etc.

Everything else apart of Max, editing software, photoshop etc works fine, so I wonder where this behavior comes from. I didn't change anything about the MacBook apart of a minor Update in Monterey (now 12.2.1), but these problems already startet before that.

Did anyone have the same problem or know anything about it?

i want to read a movie file and instantly play it not from the start, but from a random position. i'm triggering "read" followed by "jump" and "position", but in both cases the result is i see the first frame for a moment, and only then does the playback start from the desired position

(using playlist~ with "selection $1 1" works, but I don't want to preload my videos into a playlist~, i'd rather read them in as needed)

Since I installed Max 8 I cannot use the Reference system anymore. It says that Search is unavailable as Max is rebuilding the database. Restarting Max, rebooting nor leaving Max open for a very long time help.

rebuilding-database

If Max is rebuilding the database, you should wait until the rebuild has completed. Have you done that, or have you just restarted the minute you saw the error message? Last time that happened to me, I just waited and it worked fine (I needed the rebuild because I'd trashed my Preferences, etc.).

Yesterday I waited for 6 or 8 hours, I'd say that would be enough. 
I just noticed that the search function of the file browser works fine (and very fast!), it's just the Reference search which complains.

Installing Max for the 3rd time solved the problem :-)

Brilliant upgrade btw, I can't believe how much faster everything is now!

Even after multiple uninstalls I'm still experiencing this issue, and can't use the search function at all. Has anyone figured out a direct fix for this issue?

I filed a bug report and after some investigating Cycling 74 sent me a new Node for Max package which solved my problem. I recommend you do the same. Cycling's support is pretty awesome :-)

If you still encounter this issue, please get in touch with the C74 support.

Rebuilding Database

I am trying to observe the name of an object with changing names, but it does not seem to work.

Does this have to do with hidden parameters (_parameter_name)?
