Okay I tried it on the Win machine and you are right, it works as expected. So that means we found a bug for the Mac version… I hope it will be fixed with the next update. ATB, Max
P.S.: here is the win machine info Version: 4.0.5.0 64bit (build 2444) Build Date: Mar 14 2014 Build Time: 10:20:49 Expiration Date: Registered Computer Key: Registration Key: Platform: Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64 CPU Speed: 2893 Memory: 4236 KB available of 8043 KB total Timer resolution: 0.0003538931072947278 milliseconds IP address: 137.193.126.251 MAC address: 84-A6-C8-1B-C4-D0 Graphics Engine: Direct2D Color resolution: 32 bits per pixel Display mode: 1920 x 1080 Refresh Rate: 60 Hz Videosync support: DXGIWaitForVBlankMode

Interesting, thanks for the details. Might be platform-specific misbehavior. I'm not near a Mac ATM, so here's what I see under Win (which is the expected behavior).
- 1st instruction page loads without delay, one may move on immediately (wait=0). - 2nd page loads without delay, one may *not* move on prior to at least 5secs elapsing (wait=5000).
What are you seeing under Windows?

Okay, then it seems like we have found a bug or I misunderstood the wait attribute. Let me outline the process step by step: 1. Starting the script 2. Website 1 appears [Hitting ENTER] 3. Website 1 disappears [5 seconds waiting time with a white screen] 4. Website 2 appears [hitting ENTER directly when Website 2 appears] 5. Website 2 disappears without waiting time
Here is my machine information (if it helps): Version: 4.0.5.0 64bit (build 2444) Build Date: Mar 13 2014 Build Time: 23:57:06 Expiration Date: Registered Computer Key: Registration Key: Platform: Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_9_2; x86_64 CPU Speed: 2300 Memory: 62 KB available of 3263 KB total Timer resolution: 0.0000010000000000000 milliseconds IP address: MAC address: Graphics Engine: MacOpenGL Color resolution: 32 bits per pixel Display mode: 1680 x 1050 Refresh Rate: 60 Hz Videosync support: WaitForVerticalBlank mode
ATB, Max

Works as expected for me in Inquisit 4.0.5.0. So, no, I don't have any suggestions other than making sure your Inquisit version is up to date.

Hey Dave, I would like to revive this topic. Due to the limited formatting options for the page element, we have to use the htmlpage element. We tried the script you offered here in this thread. Unfortunately, the result is not as intended. The htmlpage will not be displayed for a minimum of 5 seconds but will load delayed by 5 seconds. Any suggestions?
<instruct> / wait = 0 </instruct>
<block b1> / preinstructions = (website1) </block>
<block b2> / onblockbegin = [instruct.wait=5000] / preinstructions = (website2) </block>
<htmlpage website1> / file = "website1.htm" </htmlpage>
<htmlpage website2> / file = "website2.htm" </htmlpage> / blocks = [1=b1; 2=b2] </expt>

Is there any way to modify the script so that the video plays as it's loading (similar to how it works on youtube)? No, that's not currently possible. While such an option may become available at some point, it would have to be used with utter caution: Ever had a Youtube video stutter or freeze? As long as you are watching cute kittens for comic relief, that may not matter much. But if you are using a video for, say, mood induction in a behavioral experiment, you certainly don't want that to happen. And the only way to make sure is to fully download all stimuli (including video) prior to starting the experiment. That said, we are aware of sometimes slow load times and you can expect things to improve somewhat in future releases. For the time being, the only option to display streaming videos would be to host them yourself on some server and have Inquisit display the html page with the embedded video.

Hey Dave, for my mac videos, we made them as small as possible without sacrificing quality too much. It's still taking my mac about 5 or 6 minutes to load though which is quite a lot. I'm pretty sure that as of now, the whole video loads, and once that's happened it starts to play. Is there any way to modify the script so that the video plays as it's loading (similar to how it works on youtube)? Or, do you have any other suggestions on how to get around this 5-6 minute video loading time? Thanks! Libby
