[open] How to get video plug-in for OpenSesame working on Mac OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard)?

edited March 2014 in OpenSesame

Hello everybody,

I've been trying for a while to get a video plug-in working on my Mac OS 10.6. I've installed version 0.25 ("Dashy Darwin") of OpenSesame, because the later version doesn't work with Snow Leopard.

I'm not at all a programmer of some sort, but for my dissertation I'd like to implement a video into OpenSesame which will be followed by a questionnaire.

I tried following the instructions given on the cogsci-site and have tried using the following plug-ins: media_player (https://github.com/dschreij/media_player), media_player_vlc (https://github.com/dschreij/media_player_vlc) and media_player_gst (https://github.com/dschreij/media_player_gst/releases). I installed Python 2.7 and Gstreamer 2013.6 in order to get the last mentioned plug-in working (based on Gstreamer).

After I put the plug-ins into the plug-in folder of OpenSesame and opened OpenSesame, they're nowhere to be found.

I would be very thankful if someone could explain to me how to get a video running in OpenSesame. As I mentioned, I'm not at all a programmer, but have just learned the basics of the program during my study, so it would be very helpful if someone could lend me a hand!

Thanks in advance.

    Hi sdg,

    I am going to give you a short answer and a long one.

    The short version:
    The version of OpenSesame you are using is very old, so i don't think any of those plugins are going to work anyway. The best solution for your situation would be to install VirtualBox (https://www.virtualbox.org/) and created a virtualized installation of Ubuntu or Windows in there. In any of these virtualised OS'es you should be able to run the newest version of OpenSesame + plugins without any problems. Go for Ubuntu if you don't have a version of Windows lying around or don't want to become entangled in licensing matters; Ubuntu virtualizes the best of all OS'es any way.

    The other option:
    I can't give any guarantees regarding this, because as I said, your version of OS is very old and I don't have it at my disposal for testing anymore. If you open OpenSesame and go to the preferences page, you should see a textbox containing "plugin folder". In there, you should the folders in which OpenSesame will look for plugins, aside from the normal plugin folder. Usually, this is ~/.opensesame/plugins. If you place the plugin inside that second folder, OpenSesame should pick them up. However, I think the chance this will work is minimal, as the plugin format changed from OpenSesame 0.26 to 0.27 and the plugins you are trying to use have a more modern structure than the ones used back in 0.25.

    So, the recommended option is the Virtualbox one. With ubuntu, you can easily use the repositories to quickly get a working OpenSesame and vlc/gstreamer installation!

    Good luck, and let us know how it works out.

    Hi dschreij,

    Thank you very much for your response! I tried using the other folders given in the preference window, but this indeed does not work, as you expected sadly.

    Before trying the virtualbox option and installing either Windows or Ubuntu there, I was wondering if you know if version 0.27.4 works on OS X Mavericks. On the download page (http://osdoc.cogsci.nl/getting-opensesame/download/#macos) it says that that version is made on Mountain Lion, but getting Mountain Lion would set me back 20 dollars, instead of Mavericks which is a free download.

    Thanks again.
