Hi Wu, Welcome! Please make sure you separately copy the folders inside the downloaded soundrecorder plugin to OpenSesame's plugin folder (so don't put the entire soundrecorder_plugin folder there). For example, the sound recorder plugin consists o…

Just as a reference for someone who is really looking for a way to turn canvases into screenshots: A long time ago, I wrote a script that does exactly this (make screenshots from canvases that is). I planned to make it into a plugin, but never got t…
-
Ok, notifications are now queued, and only 2 will be shown at the same time.
-
That's not good. It seems indeed as if the function that would only display the same notification once a minute is not working correctly... I will look into that soon. It's also not a good thing that notifications are stacked endlessly, so we have t…

Good to hear! I hope this new video player will solve many issues with video playback, people used to experience in OpenSesame.
-
Hi Nick, yes that is certainly possible! Check this page on the documentation site: http://osdoc.cogsci.nl/3.1/manual/environment/. Basically, you should be able to execute this command from OpenSesame's debug window: import pippip.main(['install'…

Hi Nick, which version of OpenSesame are you using?
-
Hi mthad, I'm the developer of the media player plugins for OpenSesame. What you describe is a feature which is much desired by others (including myself), but it is really hard to implement because of the way OpenSesame currently works: Movies requ…

Hi Pad, Nope, you can only use that backend then. You may want to look into multi-threading: A solution would be create a separate thread in which the position is continuously polled. This way, if the drawing operation blocks the main thread to wai…
-
Hi Pad, I think this largely depend on which backend you are using. Some are more good at this than others. I think the legacy backend will be the fastest for what you are trying to do (and you are currently probably using the default setting: expy…
-
I think the forum is not a good platform for this. It will be really hard to search for relevant posts (even when they are tagged with [Experiment] I think). If you do want to use the forum I think it is indeed best to create a separate category for…

Congrats Sebastiaan on this release that has some great new stuff! ;) Just a few side notes: media_player_mpy This release also includes a completely new media player on which we have been working for a while: media_player_mpy. You find it in th…
-
I currently don't think it is, and the example experiments are Github-only, but we'll have to ask @sebastiaan what he thinks of this possibility. Daniel

Hi Viola, It is possible, but at the moment it's very complex to realise and requires some technical wizardry (as in, you'll have to program a lot yourself). I aspire to make the video capabilities of OpenSesame more dynamic (for instance making it…
-
Great to hear Imke. We'll keep our eyes open for other reports on this problem, but for now we'll regard it as a system-specific issue.
-
Hi Tali, That sounds very possible. In what context do you mean sharing? Do you mean to share with collaborators of projects, or to share with the OpenSesame community? The repository containing reference experiments will stay on GitHub and we have…
-
Hi Imke, It is known that OpenSesame's video handling capabilities are currently limited (we're working on it), but the vlc plugin is known to be quite stable when it works. Did you check if your video files do play correctly in a stand alone video…
-
Hi rrr, That is interesting news, but we need more information to search for a probable cause. OpenSesame really uses the expyriment if you set it as the backend to use, so the cause of this problem should likely be searched somewhere else. When do…
-
Hi Nate, that is weird, as the experiments should run in the same fashion on both Macs. Could you give the specs of both macs (or when they were released, e.g. "Late 2013"). What version is your PI on. I'd also recommend you to test the s…
-
Hi guys, Sadly I can't reproduce the problem, and the screenshot and file dump posted here gives me nothing to go on (please also use code formatting, see the 'using Markdown extra syntax' in the Tips). Please try to be more elaborate in describing…
-
Hi Sophia, You're right, muxer belongs to pymedia, which is a library which hasn't been updated for ages. Sadly, back when I wrote this plugin, it was the only easy way to record sound and even if you use wav recording, it still uses pymedia. Pymed…
-
Hi Benjamin, I know it is odd, but the second way is the correct way to go at it. I admit there is a lot of redundancy in it, but it is the easiest format to process with scripts, excel, or whatever tool you use later on. These usually expect each …
-
Awesome work! @sebastiaan, we should list this plugin somewhere no the documentation page?
-
Hi Nynke, GIF is not really a movie format (even when animated), so I highly doubt avbin will be able to play this for you. Psychopy used to use avbin for playing videos, but the development of avbin has halted more than three years ago and a lot o…
-
Hi jpg446, AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'cv' indicates you are missing the OpenCV library. This is included in OpenSesame by default so it is weird that it reports this. As for the MovieStim2, this is a relative new module in…
-
Hi Anapuma, The format or syntax of the EDF file that comes out of OpenSesame is standard. There's not much that OpenSesame can change about this, except maybe for the content of messages. I think there are two possibilities here: * The left eye di…
-
Yes, that is a known error and it is fixed in the new version of OpenSesame. Apparently on some systems, the mono font is already loaded by another app, or in general, making OpenSesame stumble if it tries to load the font itself. Just as a side que…
-
Hi Adria, could you tell us which platform you running on? Is this Windows or mac? It is strange that this occurs because the sans.ttf is included with OpenSesame.
-
Hi Mikaelr, so if I understand correctly, it works on you pc, but not on the eyelink's? The vlc is quite picky concerning the hardware it runs on. It is possible that the eyelink pc has a videocard which isn't really that compatible with the plugin…
-
Hi Maries, it is certainly possible, but you will have to do a fair bit of programming in python. It is for now only possible with the media_player_gst plugin (and not with the bundled vlc plugin). the gst plugin has a window in which you can place…
