Crash after specific number of trials

re_lea_se

Hello everybody,

I set up an experiment with opensesame and everything works fine with one exception:
After 70 runs, I suddenly get the following error "'c:\users\username\appdata\local\temp\tmpkznxjo.opensesame_pool\7_pink.jpg' is not a supported image format"

The experimental structure looks like this:
Out of 12 images, 5 are randomly picked. This set of 5 pictures is presented 24 times (loop).
If I loop only 2 times through the set, everything works just fine. But 24 loops seem to be a problem.
I get the above mentioned error after the presentation of about 70 images. The image name changes (it's not always "7_pink.jpg"). I already changed the backend, but this doesn't help (I work with the legacy-backend). And I tried to disenable garbage-collection in the general settings and to collect garbage manually (in a script with "import gc", "collect.gc()") at the end of every loop. Neither of this works.

Any help would be highly appreciated!

Thank you very much in advance!

Best, Lea

Okay, seems like the video implemented in the experiment needed too much RAM. Using a version of the same video with fewer MB solved the problem, just in case someone is struggling with a similar issue.
