Group: Forum Members Posts: 20, Visits: 80	Hello all! I'm trying to start an experiment running on Inquisit Web (Inquisit 6 I believe?) - the script runs fine on my local computer in Inquisit 4. When we upload the files and script, everything seems fine. But when I test it on the Web version, I get this error for my two mp3 files: sdlm_2teachers_counterbalanced_long_moredata_032720_online.iqx - Unable to open file 'https://scripts.millisecond.com/xxxxx/xxxxxxxxxxx.mp3'. Error transferring: 403 - I see in older forum posts that it could be due to bad metadata or corrupted encoding. I created the mp3's myself in Audacity, and manually created the metadata. Is that a possible source of the error? Thank you for any advice you have!

The file may not have been uploaded, there may be a caching issue, or a problem with the file's name. Whichever it is, I cannot tell without the link to the web experiment.

Thank you so much for your quick response! Here's the link to the experiment - maybe my mp3 file name is too long? (that happens to me sometimes) - https://mili2nd.co/b6qb Thanks for the link. In your online script, you've specified a file called "MR_TeacherB_Lewis_021720_denoised_030520mp3.mp3" <video sound_loconnhicomp_teacherB_MR> / items = ("MR_TeacherB_Lewis_021720_denoised_030520mp3.mp3" ) / playthrough = true </video> That is not what the file you've actually uploaded is called, however. In the uploaded file's name, there is a space between Teacher and B: https://scripts.millisecond.com/vz29/sdlm_sp2020/mr_teacher%20b_lewis_021720_denoised_030520mp3.mp3 Similarly, in <video sound_hiconnhicomp_teacherA_AS> / items = ("AS_TeacherA_Bauer_022120_compressed_Slowed5perc_030520mp3.mp3") / playthrough = true </video> you've specified a file called "AS_TeacherA_Bauer_022120_compressed_Slowed5perc_030520mp3.mp3", but in the uploaded file's name, there is a space between TeacherA and the underscore: https://scripts.millisecond.com/vz29/sdlm_sp2020/as_teachera%20_bauer_022120_compressed_slowed5perc_030520mp3.mp3 You need to fix these inconsistencies.

I modified the metadata so that it was complete for each category (Title, Year, etc.), and re-created the mp3 files (and decreased the audio quality slightly), and now it's working great. Thanks again!

Thanks again! Ah, I just saw your earlier post, too, about the file-name errors. I think that was an upload issue (since I changed the mp3 filenames a couple times, and my collaborator might not have uploaded the newest versions), so that must have been part of the problem, too. Thanks again!!
