[solved] VLC AttributeError
Dear colleagues!
I have this problem with VLC plug-in:
Unexpected error
line: 1227
exception message: 'NoneType' object has no attribute '_instance'
exception type: AttributeError
Traceback (also in debug window):
File "dist\libqtopensesame\misc\process.py", line 130, in run

I am not a programmer; however, I tried to see the indicated line, and did not understand where the problem was.
I tried GStreamer, it did not work; hence, it would be better, if you showed me how to fix the VLC problem.
I work on Windows 8 and OpenSesame 2.8.1

Hi,
The
media_player_vlcplug-in requires that the VLC player is (separately) installed to its default location. I'm not sure which versions of the VLC player work with the plug-in, but personally I have VLC media player 2.0.4 (Twoflower), which works just fine. Could that be it?There are quite elaborate installation instructions in the plug-in's readme:
Cheers,

Thank you very much, Sebastiaan. VLC plug-in did not work, when the version of VLC was 1.0.4. The combination of VLC 2.1.3, Windows 8, and OpenSesame 2.8.1 works correctly.
