How to get Youtube video into Max (jitter) using Syphon and Quartz

This method doesn’t work. Check out this link for a better way 5/2014

https://reactivemusic.net/?p=11371

Original post…

[another update – having issues with video noise in the quartz viewer 12/2013 – have tried various obvious things without success – overall this is kind of a kluge anyway]

An update to previous post

1. Read this post about QC + syphon

http://cycling74.com/forums/topic/using-jitter-to-display-a-website/

Have installed this plugin with Quartz Composer

http://code.google.com/p/cogewebkit/

Now have installed a Syphon server example in quartz with a youtube video. Load this file:

tkzic/quartz/GoGe WebKit RC3/Example Patches/GoGe Players/Webkit Stuff/SimpleBrowser syphon.qtz

Then run the client example Max help file from Syphon:

tkzic/syphon/Max 6 Help/jit.gl.syphonclient.maxhelp

You will need to add the folder with the syphon externals to your max file path – in my case:

tkzic/syphon/

Build VST plugins in Max with gen~

Today I built a VST plugin in gen~ using instructions…

at the Cycling 74 Wiki

http://cycling74.com/wiki/index.php?title=Gen_Code_Export_VST

additional things

local files:

  • max teaching examples/Tremelo-vst.maxpat (gen~)
  • max teaching examples/vst-tester.maxpat

code:

  • vstsdk2.4/public_sdk/samples/vst2.x/MyVSTPlugin
notes
  • VST requires all paramaters to go from 0-1.0 so you need to scale them in gen~
  • There are a ton of compiler warnings in Xcode. And a syntax error that you can autocorrect.
  • Restart Max, if you make changes to the plugin
