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 audio, and the nonexistent playback quits a few seconds in.

I'm not sure whether these videos were created with streaming in mind. I vaguely remember we used to need to set a "streaming" checkbox when creating a video. Is that still required?

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?

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.
