  Hi Noam,

  I'm assuming that you were planning to post the actual error message?

  Cheers,

  It may be more helpful if you could post the python debug console code

  Hi Noam,

  If you click on the lady-bug icon, you will open a Python console, which is called the 'debug window'. All error messages are visible there, including additional information that is helpful for debugging your experiment.

  See:

  Hi,

  This sounds like there is a bug in media_player_vlc. py. Try to exchange the old meda_player_vlc.py by this one: http://www.filedropper.com/mediaplayervlc .

  The location of this file you can obtain from your error message (according to your post, it should be in "C:\Program Files\OpenSesame\plugins\media_player_vlc\")

  I found there some bugs and removed them. However, since it wasn't me who wrote the original file, it is quite hard to make sure not to have changed anything important. So, before you run your experiment, I strongly recommend that you check that your data make sense and nothing weird happens.

  Good luck,

  Eduard

  Hi Eduard

  After having the problem, I started using the gstreamer plugin and the experiment works fine now. Today I have tried the new version of the vlc plugin as you suggested and it seems like everything is Ok so far. Thanks a lot,
