Error while trying to import h5 files - again (!)

[Marcelobot]

Hello, Im again recieving the same error as mentioned in that last issue: https://github.com/sgoldenlab/simba/issues/149

An Error occurres when I try to import h5 files. In the last project the error was fixed by upgrading simba, but now - one week later i have the same situation within a new project.

What to do now? Ive promised to present the results tomorrow..

Interesting Sidefact: Im still able to import the old data even to the new project, but with new files (created correctly by DLC) the error comes..

Cheers - just a quick advice please - Im in a rush :)

Hello @Marcelobot - can you send me the error msg? My guess is that the tracking file might possibly been renamed after it was created by the pose-estimation package.

The video and h5 files are named like this:

--> guess the name should be functional?

The video is stored within a DLC project/videos folder with other videos (tried to store it in separate folder but still not working out)

The occuring Error when trying to import h5 file looks like:

Cannot find the reason actually..

Cheers

Hey @Marcelobot - there seems to be an issue with the video file. SimBA cannot open it and it is only 2kb large - likely it is not a proper video file. Can you try and re-generate it?

Crazy.. now i see.

Thanks ! Seems like in my rush Ive done something wrong while cropping. But okay easy to fix and not a simBA Problem - thank you very much!

No problem, let me know if the issue persist though, I'll insert some better error msg.
