Stopping MovieStim after 'escape'
Hello,
I'm working on an experiment that will record tobii eye tracking data during three movie clips. I would like to allow the experimenter to press "escape" during the clip to end it early and proceed to the next clip. However when I run it with my current code, the 1st clip (which has sound) continues to play sound throughout the other two clips and make the clips choppy and sometimes freeze. I've tried to add mov.stop() into my 'break while' loop but I get the error: AttributeError: 'ManagedSoundPlayer' object has no attribute 'stop'.
I would appreciate your help!

Hi,
Which version of psychopy do you use?
You can find out by running:
Also, this discussion on the psychopy github, might be useful.

Hi Eduard,
Thanks for your response.
I'm using psychopy version 1.82.01. Perhaps this is old? Is there any easy way to uninstall psychopy so I can install the most updated version?
I've also posted this on the psychopy forums as well, I appreciate your help anyway!

Hi Annie,
Maybe you can try updating your psychopy within Opensesame.
Run these lines in the debug window:
as explained here: http://osdoc.cogsci.nl/3.2/manual/environment/
Good luck,
Eduard
