FileStream Seek Time pin not taking input from IOBox Value Advanced

vvvv beta question
1

Hi evvvveryone,

I am trying to add a Bang to my patch which will send me to a random position within a video file. I already have the mechanism which gives me a random value between 0 and the video’s length in seconds.

I was hoping I could use this value in combination with the FileStream’s Seek Time pin and it’s DoSeek pin, but the Seek Time pin cannot be connected with my IOBox’s out pin.

Why is this so and how can I go about it?

Thanks!

Maybe it’s because of this: creating-feedback-loops?

That was most likely it!

I added a FrameDelay and now it works like a charm.

Thanks a lot!
