Hai all!

Im looking for a piece of software which allows me to play 4 or 5 clips simultaneously on different screens on the same machine.

Best thing would be different playlists for random playback, webinterface to controll... etc... ;)

If someone has a hint for me, please tell me without hesitation ;)

4 to 5 different screens? good luck trying to do that from one machine ;-)
Maybe you can write a little app in Processing or Max/Msp?

It works allready with Flash, but Flash sucks ;). I dont want to reencode all my vids as flashvids, and anyway i dont like Flash ;).
The screens have only a resolution of 320X20 so its not too heavy for one machine...

Thanks for your hints about Processing and Max/Msp. I dont know Max/Msp and i just read about Processing, but i'll have a look on both.

Tnx

btw, im still open for any hints you have ;)

Finally i got it working with 'vvvv' (http://vvvv.org)! Now i just have to test it "in the wild"!

Thanks again for your hints, they putted me in the right direction. And thanks to for reminding me of processing, is there a way do play processing jars as generators in resolume?

greetings

Glad you got it working, post some pictures when you have it setup 'in the wild'!

It,s not possible to play Processing applets (jars) as generators in Resolume but it would definitely be killer feature! (but i doubt if it,s at all possible) If there is anybody who can do this (we do not have much experience with Java then we,d love to hire you!
