Hello everybody,
I am VJ Poet / artist from Honduras, and am currently working on a collaborative project, where writers/poets (from all over the world) compose in real time and send their texts to modul8 where I mix them with moving images.

I am programming illiterate and am asking anyone with experience to collaborate with me in this endevour. I am sure the development of this module will help the M8 community a lot, since it is a very exciting and its possibilities great!

Regards,
gabbo

Hi,

I've built a SWF movie for Modul8 that can display realtime Twitter messages.
I've posted an explanation and a download here: http://blog.eerkmans.nl/?p=116

it took me some tweaking, but works. the most important is to set flash security for the controller and player

you edit locations by adding a path to your player and controller files. and you do not run the player, just the controller. player should be imported to m8 and put on a layer.

yeah i did that, it recognized the keywords from twitter, yet it does not stream. =(

knakker that flash is awesome thanks for that. (here's the updated link: http://www.eerkmans.nl/?p=116) Would you be willing to share the .fla file for that? Some of the effects are too fast and i'd like to change some fonts.

I also saw that you're working on Twitterfountain, is this correct? I'm curious if that would be a project that integrate with m8 in the near future? Check it out http://www.twitterfountain.com/. I bet a lot of m8 users would love to use Twitterfountain in m8 (with tweejay_controller.swf uprades) with all the fancy (http://www.eerkmans.nl/?p=232) Twitterfountain User Interface improvements.

I'm dreaming big

It's also possible to send Twitter stuff from Quartz Composer to Modul8 over Syphon (if you have the QC Rehab plugin installed). I've tried running a QC Twitter comp straight in Modul8 but I never got it to work. It's also possible to read Twitter xml straight into a Modul8 module. I'm reading xml in other modules I'm working on. But the disadvantage is that you cant do much with typography in Modul8 once you get the text in since Modul8's typography tools are so underdeveloped. I'm not so good at Twitter's API but I can have a look at it at some point but unfortunately I doubt I will have time before christmas.

I used the Coge webkit quartz plugin ( http://code.google.com/p/cogewebkit/) + qc rehab/syphon to run http://www.twitterfountain.com on a layer. just did a trial run, it kinda flips out a little when you go to full screen but it's working.

I pretty much followed this post, HTML inside Modul8.

(you will need the kineme and qc rehab plugins from there)

Midi Thief I feel like that's pretty much what you just said. Going the live browser/webkit route can open up some pretty cool options though!!

i haven't been able to get it running directly in m8 but i throw it into mix emergency and i'm able to syphon it into m8 albiet with some heavy frame rate loss. I think we still need a proper twitter module.

Midi Thief you've had some success with this xml method of twitter feeds right?
