Hello Andrew, I've tried to change your device to be able to read video, but I'm so bad at Max that I can't even do this.
Do you think that this little implementation could see the light?
Or any advice on how to?
Thanks in advance

Hi eport,
You should still be able to drag and drop a folder of videos instead of a folder of images into the device and it'll work. I've tried it just now with a folder of .mov files.
The only problem is the video won't be playing and will only show a still image.
To fix this, open up the device in Max4Live and find the two jit.qt.movie objects.
In each one change the @autostart 0 attribute to @autostart 1.
Then freeze the device and save it.
