Pure Data external - Mootcher
Started July 7th, 2005 · 19 replies · Latest reply by snailed 19 years, 3 months ago
Hi All !
For the last few months I have been working on a PD external, called the Mootcher, that connects to this website. With this external you can easily connect to the freesound website from within PD (without having to use your internet browser). Search, download and use all the sounds on the fly!
please take a look at this page:
http://freesound.iua.upf.edu/mootcher.php
For now, only a windows version is available. However we are working on a Linux (PD) and Mac (PD & Max) version. They should be available soon.
For c++ programmers
Since the library is Open Source (LGPL), feel free to make your own plugins/programs using the C++ library. Please subscribe to the freesound development mailing list. And ofcource Let us know if you made something cool.
Have fun !
Congratulations!
Dont forget to post over at pd-list!
Cheers
Thanks Anton !
I just mailed it to pd-announce.
Feel free to spread the word

Weird, I have yet to receive that pd-anounce message. Are you sure it was sent? (Maybe you could 'accidentally' drop it on pd-list... pd-anounce has a smaller subscriber base...
hi, cool external, trying to get it running on gentoo-amd64 http://whats-your.name/pd/mootcher.linux.tbz2 and the server returns the error "Invalid Content-Length" ;

Hi ix
the function Mootcher:
oLogin(std:
tring login, std:tring password) will return "0" to the flext object if the variable "connection" is "0".
//preform online request
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
// if something go's wrong 'connection' is set to '0'
if(strcmp(curl_easy_strerror(res), "no error") == 0) connection = 1;
else connection = 0;
This means curl cannot make a connection. Can you check if it's really sending something over the network?
Did you see anything strange while debugging? maybe you can check what string curl_easy_strerror(res) returns.

yeah its sending over the net: Invalid Content-Length 4294967295 is the error, i guess i dont know enough about C++ to know whats up, but ive attached a diff and SConstruct link above so you dont have to do the boring stuff to make it compile if you want to take a stab at it. nice work..cant wait to try it out!
Hi ix,
I got a experiental linux build which i can mail to you, if you want.
Maybe you can see and tell me how/if it works?

unless you are running amd64, i wouldnt be able to test. a great thing to do would be to add mootcher to pure-data externals CVS, if you need access, Guenter can add you to the project., then lots more people would check it out as many people install from the externals 'build' system ...
Thats a good idea. I'm probably going to do that when i'm a 100% sure the Linux and Mac builds work.
Maybe a stupid question... but can't your OS run 32bit compiled programs on your 64bit system?
Hey mr Lemon.. congrats
If you need betatesting on the Mac max (or mac pc) external, please contact me... i cannot wait to put my hands on this one.
Take care
I'll let you know a.s.a.p.
Beta testers are always welcome
Are there any aproximated dates for the max external ? i am so impatient i know...
I only wet my feet recently into Pd (but working already a few years with higher end sw packages like AudioMulch and Bidule ...) ... is my understanding correct that this addition allows to replace a "load file" building block by a "find a sample on the freesound project" building block ...
(sorry for the non-techie talk )
Ic .. so than I need an OsX version soonest ... :wink: 
just.sounds
NICE!!!Cant wait to make an random sound downloader!!
Ive created a nice one
. I can stream online contact me by pm or via the other info you can find in my profile.
cheers
