media_player error

Hi All,

I have an experiment in which an external device is controlled while showing a video. However, since the last OpenSesame update, the mediadecoder component has stopped working.

I am using media_player_mpy and selected: Call custom Python code: 'After every frame'.

No matter what code is in there, the plugin crashes with the error message:

'Error assigning variables in media_player: "Decoder" object has no attribute "loop_count"'

It would be great if this feature worked again.

I created a small task with some code during video playback and tested it in an OpenSesame version without the last update (opensesame-plugin-media-player-mpy 0.2.2, mediadecoder 0.1.5)

and with the latest update (opensesame-plugin-media-player-mpy 0.2.3, mediadecoder 0.2.2)

The feature running Python code worked well in the previous version without updates.

Unfortunately I can't upload my example task (error code 413).

Thanks,

Bert

Hi @BertH ,

Indeed the media_player_mpy plugin broke due to an update in the mediadecoder package. You should see an update to mediadecoder appear in the automatic updater soon that will fix this.

Thanks for pointing this out!
