Thank you Panos, you may have saved us. I'll pass this on to the client
for testing. I'm very glad you were reading the list today. :)

Hi all,
@Jacque:
I can successfully play .m4a audio files on Windows 7 using LC 8.1 dp3
*after* installing the LAV filters suggested in the LC Forums:
http://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=27380
Note that this is not officially suggested by LiveCode Ltd, it is just a
working solution.
@Peter:
Player callbacks are supported in LC 8.1 dp2 onwards:
https://github.com/livecode/livecode/pull/4140
So you can try them in 8.1 dp3 which is more stable than dp2. Just one
thing to note:
The Windows DS player uses different timescale, so e.g the same video might
have a 1200 duration on OSX and 15200 on Windows (the numbers are
completely random). So when you set the callbacks do *not* use an absolute
value for the time, but relative to the player duration.
Best,
Panos

Yes, you're right. We're pretty much screwed then. All the universities
have demanded that QT be removed from all site computers and our app
depends on .m4a audio. There are too many audio files to convert to another
format, and the audio guy refuses to do it anyway due to the quality
degredation.
We tried installing a codec pack but that didn't work either. We're in
trouble.

I see that Ian Macphail says:
"We decided to overhaul the Windows player object, replacing the existing
Quicktime based implementation with one based on DirectShow, which is fully
supported on all current Windows versions.”

codes-player-object/
And the Microsoft page describing DirectShow’s supported formats (a
rather limited list)-- .m4a is not one of them:

I’m very interested in this subject, especially when LC gets callbacks
working.

We need to play .m4a files on Windows 7 and up. Double-clicking one of

control with the URL to the file in LC on the same machine does not (LC

Is this fixable? Is there something users can install to make it work?
Or do we need a more recent version of LC?
Poking around, it looks like I have to build in LC 8.1. If that's
correct, then it's risky, it isn't stable yet. Is there any other way?
I've done some tests on both Windows 10 and Vista using LC 8.1 but m4a
files still do not play when setting the filename of a player. They do play
using WMP. This is becoming an urgent issue for my client and I need to get
it working quickly. Does anyone know what we need to install, or how to get
this working?
Is anyone else able to play .m4a files on Windows using the new player
object?
