Description of the problem: Videos are uploaded along with the other resources, but they don’t open. In chrome I don’t get an error but in firefox I see
" when attempting to play MovieStim: teaching_video
AbortError: The fetching process for the media resource was aborted by the
user agent at the user’s request.

Based on other posts, I set the opacity of the video to 1 and tried all of the backend options, with no luck.
$_corr == 0 is the condition I’m using for when a wrong item is clicked, it works for the text stimuli that’s supposed to display with the video (386 KB).
Hello,
The videos don’t open in any browser I’ve used but at least in firefox it gives an error message. Other browsers (Chrome and Edge) don’t give an error message, they run the experiment without the videos at all. I created a separate experiment and tested each video I want to use and each of them work online, so the issue may be in the spreadsheet?
The videos are working online in your dummy experiment? Maybe you could try building it up until it either replaces your original experiment or you find out which step breaks it.
According to ChatGPT, there are a couple of possibilities for the error:
Media Loading Aborted by the User
If a media resource (like an audio or video file) is being fetched and the user navigates away, the browser may abort the loading process, resulting in this error. Network Issues or Browser Policies
Some browsers may abort fetch requests due to security policies, network disconnections, or other resource constraints.
I wouldn’t expect there to be an issue with this video – it is H264 encoded and not too big. I wonder if there are specific files that fail. You could try using a print statement to check the value for video1 at the point of failure.
