Crash with "media_player_mpy"

PsyMel

Hi, 

I am using OpenSesame for the first time. I'm builting an experiment with images and videos. The first part with images running succesfully but the part with videos crash. To read video I'm using open-sesame-media_player_mpy and I've load the plugin following the instruction of this discussion https://forum.cogsci.nl/discussion/2640/troubles-with-media-player-mpy-unable-to-download-ffmpeg-osx. But I have to introduce the last script everytime I open OpenSesame.

The item run good and I can introduce order but when I run my experiment, it crash and I receive this message : 

Details

• exception type: OSError

Hi,

I don't have enough experience with video playback to be sure, but could this problem be related to Opensesame not finding the video you are trying to play? So, do the filenames match? Are the files in the correct folder?

Other than that, I don't know what the problem could be. In any case, you can always try to run OpenCV.

This requires some python coding, but isn't terribly complicated and you have a lot more control over the video playback. Here an example on how to play a video: https://github.com/smathot/OpenSesame
