The speed difference with stack files seems to be that there's high
overhead for each write on Windows 10, and stack files are written on a
series of small writes.
Given this, which would make more sense?:
a) Serialize objects to one buffer in memory
and flush to disk in one write

Not sure what you mean by "an existing app" but my test app uses mobileControlCreate to set up
a mobile player. When it accesses the video from my server, it's all black with no video or

my guess is the LC player does not have h264 codec. its a codec that
carries a license fee and agreement. I hope one day it can be included in
an indy license and maybe the CEF can be built with the h264 codec.
That would be really good for business.

QuickTime Player can play it, but it doesn’t need QuickTime.
I’m not sure what player LiveCode uses on Android, but it is highly likely to
be able to cope.
Is the LC Player an existing Android app?

For the segmented control widget, the hilitedItems property (with an s) expects
a comma separated list of positive integers. It can be empty to have nothing
selected.
For the navigation bar widget, the hilitedItem must be a positive integer. In

OK, so my impression, that LC saving a (binary) file on Windows 10 is not the
problem, is correct, as you deduce it lies in the serialisation of the stack.
Now why would that be platform, indeed OS, dependent? Could the LC
cache/virtual memory settings be different for Windows 10 from

It's almost like the stack file takes longer, if only the difference
were more clearly evident. :)
I'll include your results with the test data I'll add to the report.
Thanks for running that.

So, my main machine these days is a Surface Pro X which is a Microsoft
computer that runs Windows 10 with an ARM64 CPU (aka Windows on ARM, aka
WoA).
Machines running Windows 10 on ARM64 can run Windows 10 applications
compiled to ARM64 and also run Windows 10 applications compiled for x86

If you decide on that method, check out dragImageOffset.

In theory anything is possible. That said, the trick will be accessing the
camera and then streaming the captured video. Livecode to my knowledge does not
provide a means for that, so some kind of external would be necessary.
Beyond that is the security aspects. The stream is probably going to
