media_player_mpy not working; Error: name 'unicode' is not definded

aylo

Hello,

I want to show two gifs and the testperson has to decide between these two. But I cant even show one gif file. I keep getting this error:

• item-stack: experiment[run].training_loop[run].training_blocks[run].trainig_trials[run].training_sequence[prepare].gif_stimuli[prepare]
• time: Fri May 29 12:52:23 2020
• exception type: NameError
• exception message: name 'unicode' is not defined

I already tried to run it with python2, because I read that this is a bug from python, but it did not help.

Anyone who knows, what else I could try. Thanks!

had the same problem here.

This is a bug in the media_player_mpy plugin and needs to be fixed by the OS developers.

As a hotfix, you need to navigate to

OpenSesame\share\opensesame_plugins\media_player_mpy

and open \media_player_mpy.py

in line 139, change

[unicode,str]

to

[str]
