[solved] Repeat sound

  Hi Lucie,

  For starters, if people are just listening to the stories, I would use the sampler plug-in, which was specifically designed to play sounds and is more stable then the media_player_vlc plug-in (which was designed for video).

  You can use the sampler functions in an inline_script as well:

  # load the modules we need
  from openexp.canvas import canvas
  from openexp.sampler import sampler
  from openexp.keyboard import keyboard
  
  # create a new canvas
  my_canvas = canvas(exp)
  
  # create a new keyboard
  my_keyboard = keyboard(exp)
  
  # path to the sound file
  soundfile = exp.get("storyname")
  # create a new sampler
  my_sampler = sampler(exp, exp.get_file(soundfile))
  
  # play the story
  repeatsound = True
  while repeatsound:
  
      # draw a fixation dot on the new canvas
      my_canvas.clear()
      my_canvas.fixdot()
      my_canvas.show()
  
      # start playing the sound
      my_sampler.play(block=True)
  
      # present a message
      my_canvas.clear()
      my_canvas.text(Press Space to continue, or R to replay
      my_canvas.show()
  
      # wait for keyboard input
      key, presstime = my_keyboard.get_key(keylist=['space','r'], timeout=None)
  
      # if Space was pressed, do not play again
      if key == 'space':
          repeatsound = False
  

  NOTE: this assumes you have the names of the sound files defined in your loop, as variable storyname.

  Good luck!

  Hi Edwin,

  Thank you for our answer.
  The repetition of sounds works now with your script.
  But the names of variables in my loop do not work.
  My construction is like '[story]_[sound].wav' .
  Could you help me for that ?

  Thank you in advance of your help,

  Best regards,

  Lucie

  Hi Lucie,

  Change the bit that finds your sound file from:

  soundfile = exp.get("storyname")
  

  to:

  soundfile = "%s_%s.wav" % (exp.get("story"), exp.get("sound"))
  

  Does that do it for you?

  Good luck!
