If that's true, I'm in trouble. There are a lot of these videos.
I just made a quick test app and ran it on Android. I get a blank mobile player displaying a
completely black rectangle. The script loads the URL from my server, waits for a
playerPropertyAvailable "duration" property to be received, and then starts to play. The video
is about a minute and a half long, the duration is never received, and after about a 30 second
wait I get the playerFinished message.
A quick web search verifies what Colin said, an .mp4 with H.264 and AAC is pretty much standard
these days.
Not sure where to go from here but I need a solution.

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.

Thanks. The Mac won't play it, which is odd (usually in Finder a media
thumbnail will play) and the Mac suggests QT as a default app, wbich is no
longer supported officially.
I will try it on mobile when I get farther along, but for now I'd like to
debug on Mac during development. The LC player is blank when I set the
filename, presumably because it doesn't support QT either.

Hi J,
AAC is Advanced Audio Compression - successor to MP3.

Hope this will help you figure out how to play it.

I asked this before, looking for the best format for video files on
both
Android and iOS. Colin suggested H.264 as the codec, and MP4 as the
file
format. I have a video with those specs but it won't play in the LC
player,
and the Mac wants to open it with QuickTime. VLC will play it.
Get Info shows the codec as H.264, AAC. The file extension is mp4. Is
AAC
the problem (that's the audio format, right?) What should it be?
I haven't tried it on mobile yet, but if it needs QT I'm pretty sure it
won't work.
