Problem with the eyelink plugins in opensesame

Ornella

I tried to run the example file "VM_click.osexp" on the Eyelink website, but the opensesame software (version 3.0) failed to open it and then reported an error:

VW_click.osexp

Failed to load plugin 'el_CamSetup'

item-stack: 
exception message: No module named moviepy.video.io.VideoFileClip
time: Mon Sep 02 20:42:55 2024
exception type: ImportError

Traceback:
 File "dist\libopensesame\item_store.py", line 165, in new
 File "dist\libopensesame\plugins.py", line 357, in load_plugin
 File "dist\libopensesame\plugins.py", line 328, in import_plugin

 ImportError: No module named moviepy.video.io.VideoFil

Then I tried to pip install the moviepy package in the debug window, but the SyntaxError: invalid syntax message kept appearing. 

What can I do now ? Looking forward for any help😣

Hi @Ornella ,

The EyeLinkPlugins provided by SR Research have at the time of writing not yet been updated for OpenSesame 4.0. I suspect that's where the error comes from. However, you can also use the EyeLink through the PyGaze plugins that are bundled with OpenSesame. The functionality is largely the same, so unless there is a specific reason for using the SR Research plugins, I would simply use the PyGaze plugins.

Hope this helps!

Hi @Ornella @sebastiaan

New EyeLink plugins have been released to work with OpenSesame 4.0. You can download and check them out with the following pip command in the console:

pip install opensesame-plugin-eyelink

You can read more about the EyeLink plugins and get the new examples from the Getting Started with OpenSesame page on the SR Research forum

Thanks
