What is the maximum data size of PsychoPy?

Description of the problem: Hi. I want to run an experiment in Pavlovia. My PsychoPy program uses multiple wav and webp files. Are there any limitations of data size? When U uploaded 6MB data, my program stopped.

Hi

Do you mean data (your data file) which shouldn’t be affected by sound files or your overall project size?

Do you mean 6MB (which is not very big) or 6GB (which is huge and probably inappropriate for an online study)?

Best wishes,

Wakefield

PsychoPy itself doesn’t have any data size limit, but syncing to Pavlovia is done via a program called “git”, which does have size limits by default, but these are changeable! Open the program “Command Prompt” (Windows) or “Terminal” (Mac) and type:

git config hooks.filesizehardlimit 1000000 --system

then press ENTER to set the limit to 10,000,000 bytes (aka 10MB)

As Wakefield points out though, 6MB isn’t all that big - 10MB should be the default setting, but if another program on your computer uses git and has set a smaller limit (maybe it’s 5MB?) then that would explain it.

Thank you for your reply.

I meant that Sound and image files would be presented in Image Component or Sound Component.

I mean 6MB.

I tried your solution, but my problem still persists.
Are there any limitations on the number of files? I want to upload a total of 800 sound or image files.

Do you mean 800 files of 6MB each or 800 files with a total size of 6MB?

Thank you for your reply.

I meant “800 files with a total size of 6MB

In that case I’m surprised that you’re having difficulties. However, what I’d suggest is to remove half of your stimuli, then sync, then put them back then sync again.

I tried it on Pavlovia and then it succeeded.
Thank you.

To clarify, did you succeed by uploading half of the stimuli at a time?
