[open] Simultaneous presentation of multiple videos

andrea

Hello there,

I'm creating a recognition task where I need do present multiple .avi files simultaneously. One (the target video) should be at the top of the screen, while the others should be distributed in the bottom half of the screen. The target video should start as it appears, while the others should start only if clicked on.

Is there any possibility to do this with the gui or I need do write some code?

Thank you in advance!!!

Hi Andrea,

This will definitely require some coding. There are a few frameworks for playing video, but in this case opencv might be the most convenient. You can find some examples here:

Cheers and good luck!

Thank you Sebastiaan!

If I present multiple image buttons on the screen and then the videos start when the participant click on the corresponding image, is there any way to present the video (for example with the media_player_gst plug-in) not in the center of the screen but in the same position of the image?

Thanks again in advance!

Hi Andrea,

I'm afraid the answer is the same: This will definitely need some coding! None of the plug-ins will do it.
