problems with using media_player_mpy

nadja

Hi! I was having some troubles with the video player and I'm now trying to download media_player_mpy. At first, I tried to install it by running in the debug window the following command:

import pip
pip.main(['install', 'opensesame-plugin-media_player_mpy'])

but I got the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named pip

So, I installed it from the terminal, but still when trying to drag the media_player_mpy item (which by the way appears without the icon - see snapshot:, I get the following error:

Traceback:
  File "/Applications/OpenSesame.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.7/libopensesame/item_store.py", line 77, in new
  File "/Applications/OpenSesame.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.7/libopensesame/plugins.py", line 331, in load_plugin
  File "/Applications/OpenSesame.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.7/libopensesame/plugins.py", line 303, in import_plugin
  File "/Applications/OpenSesame.app/Contents/Resources/plugins/media_player_mpy/media_player_mpy.py", line 22, in <module>
ImportError: No module named py3compat

Don't know if it helps but when running modules() in the debug window, I got:

Hi Nadja,

Thanks for your detailed question!

I think both pip and media_player_mpy only work with OpenSesame 3. Can you update to the latest version 3.1.4?

If you have to stick with version 2.9.7 maybe this helps:
