OS (e.g. Win10): Win11 PsychoPy version (e.g. 1.84.x): v2024.1.5 Standard Standalone? (y/n): y
**What are you trying to achieve?: I have a loop that goes through a list of movie stimuli. In each cycle, I’m trying to preload one of the stimuli before playing. For example, preloads A → plays A → next cycle of loop → preloads B → plays B and so on
What specifically went wrong when you tried that?:
If I set the movie file to “set during trial.ISI”, the stimulus is preloaded, but in the next cycle of the loop, the routine is skipped completely. If I set the movie file to “set every repeat”, the stimulus is not preloaded, but the loop and routine works fine (that is, it moves onto the next stimulus in the following cycle and so on.)
The movie stimulus is played using the ffpyplayer as backend. The loop playback is unchecked, and the audio is set to be played. It is also set to force end the routine, which i suspect to be the reason why the routine ends without any video playing in the subsequent cycles when using the “set during trial.ISI” option. I have an excel sheet set up for the loop to go through the list of video clips in a sequential order.
Please feel free to let me know if you require any additional information from me.
Would you please be able to share a minimal demo of the issue with us (e.g. a link to a folder we can download with your psychopy file and spreadsheet/movies needed to run the task?)
The video sequence for Positive and Negative videos are randomised, but the first video will always be a Neutral video. I’m using 6 different long videos for my actual experiment, the demo uploaded here consists of 3 short videos, each repeated twice.
