Video Stimuli Error in Builder

Builder

Hello

I am working in the builder, and added a video stimuli. However, I am getting the following error message and am not sure how to interpret it.

Any idea what is going on?

It looks like your video file can’t be found. Check how you are specifying the location of your video(s) and that the name and location matches where the file actually is.

The location is correct.

The issue is the line “Warning: could not find imageio’s ffmpeg executable.” Even though the ffmpeg executable is included in this version, there is still an issue. People who have had this issue in the past and have posted about it are Windows users (and I am on a Mac). Some suggested that launching as an administrator to solve the issue, so I tried launching it using the sudo command but that did not help.

The solution was to downgrade to version 1.84.0. and now everything is working.
