The end goal is to be able to run a standalone, and some cards will
have an external video file to play.
As that doesn’t work, I have a card in LC 10.0 authoring, where a
Player object is linked to a local MP4. The MP4 plays fine in the
Windows 11 player.
When I try to play the video file I get a ‘could not create movie
reference’ message in the result.
I have tried set the dontuseqt to TRUE - but that didn’t help. I don’t
mind if I end up having to have another copy of the video files to use
on Windows, but what file types will work?
We've changed the underlying media framework used on Windows from Direct
Show to Media Foundation Player in LiveCode Create (its been available
since dp-1 - both in the new Create IDE and Classic IDE mode).
Media Foundation supports a wider range of formats out of the box
compared to Direct Show - in particular mp4.
Also, things like taking a snapshot of the player, and alwaysBuffer
should now work too.
Warmest Regards,
Mark.
