Unfortunately the usefulness of LiveCode's use of the native Win player
is dependent on the needs of the application.
For example, unless there's been a recent change, LC can play movies
fine using the native Win media engine, but only if you play from the
beginning of the video; if you need control over the startTime you're
out luck unless you use QT.
I've been hoping for a change to the obsolete MCI interface LC uses for
native Win video for many years, but I'm not aware of a change to that
thus far.

Hi Paul,
I believe on Windows you can just set the dontUseQT to true and set the
filename of a movie object to your favorite movie, and it should play.
You don't need QT on Windows unless you're trying to play QT movies.

Does anyone out there have a solution for playing WMA/WMV file in
LiveCode under Windows?
Under OSX, you can use the Flip4Mac add-on to Quicktime and LiveCode's
quicktime based player will play Windows WMA/WMV file in Livecode under
OSX. Perversely, Flip4Mac is not available for Windows and Quicktime for
Windows does not play Windows WMA/WMV files and since LC uses Quicktime,
no joy for those formats under Windows.
