[visionegg] Re: quicktime

Hi Mason,
I'll have to re-trace my steps w.r.t the Windows installation of QuickTime and see where those files came from. My guess is that if they're not with Apple's QuickTime download, they must be with the QuickTime SDK. Anyhow, I've been quite busy lately (sorry for the delay responding) and it will most likely be another few days before I can get to this. I suspect that downloading and installing the SDK will hopefully solve the problem. Clearly this is something I need to sort out before the 1.1 release, so thanks for testing.

Thanks Andrew.
multi_stim.py worked fine.
quicktime.py failed with the attached error message.

I inserted a statement in ctypes\__init__.py just before the error
occurs, to print out self._name, which it tries to load.  It's
C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\QTMLClient.dll.  Indeed, this file
is absent on my computer; the QTSystem folder doesn't exist and
QTMLClient.dll isn't anywhere else.  I updated to the latest version of
Quicktime, and no difference.

Side note:  I needed to install numpy before multi_stim.py would run.
You should add numpy to the list of necessary packages in the download
instructions.

Hi Mason,

I have a 1.1 release candidate compiled and waiting for testing on
Windows. Seeing as I've had this compiled and ready to test for some
weeks (since my "1.1 imminent" email) but haven't actually found the
time/willpower to fire up a Windows installation and test, you're now
volunteered as the tester. I have uploaded this release to

http://visionegg.org/Intro%20and%20Overview?action=AttachFile&do=view&ta
rget=visionegg-11win32-py25.exe


Note that I really can't advertise this release too much because it's
labelled as "1.1" even though it should really be "1.1rc1". In other
words, the real 1.1 will supercede this. (This will obviously only be a
problem if this does not become the real 1.1.)

Anyhow, I did my best to ensure that quicktime is working with this
release, so it should hopefully resolve your issue. Also, you should not
need to use a C compiler to use this.

This includes just the Vision Egg python modules -- none of the demo
scripts. If you could simply get them from
http://visionegg.org/svn/trunk/visionegg/demo/ and test, that would be
best.

If you test these demos successfully (in particular multi_stim.py and
quicktime.py), I'll go ahead and make this the 1.1 release.

FWIW, I had to use Visual Studio 2003 to get this to compile -- now
quite hard to get, I think.

Thanks,
Andrew

Hi,

I'm trying to play Quicktime movies in VisionEgg, on a Windows XP
machine.  From earlier posts it looks like I need to install the
bleeding edge.  I tried to install it using MinGW as the compiler
(before trying MinGW I was getting "error: The .NET Framework SDK

needs

to be installed before building extensions for Python" even though

.NET

was installed).  I got the attached messages indicating that _gl_qt
failed to compile.  Then when I try to run quicktime.py I get
"ImportError:  No module named _gl_qt".  I get the same ImportError if

I

try to install VisionEgg with skip_c_compilation set to True.  Do you
know what's going on here?

Thanks,

Mason Smith
