Yesterday I got a tech support question from a Surface Pro 3 user. Our
LC standalone (built in LC 7.1.4) wouldn't even launch. I suspect it's
because the Surface is running in 64-bit.
Does your Surface run with LC 8?

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has had good luck playing back HD quality
video on a MS Surface book using livecode 8 and the new windows
playback system that uses the direct show libraries.
A client wants to be able to playback full screen HD videos on the
surface from a presentation interface that is normally used to
control a dedicated video server. I have done this for years on
macbook pros to the external and laptop video and low res videos on
desktop screens with windows but always using quicktime in the past.
Now with win 10 I assume that should not be done even if we could get
an old qt installed.
They wanted ipad but the bundling and such necessary of all the
assets which need updating now and then was way too much work for
what was needed. If we can just play the windows version from the
Surface like we do with the macbook pro then it should be a pretty
simple modification.
The surface book specs look like its decent graphics to do this, but
always a bit of a guess if this stuff will play well on hardware
until tested. years back when I had to do this on the mac, the apple
store manager let me actually bring in a monitor and also run my
software from a flash drive to test if the macbook pros at the time
could do it! luckily it did. Not sure MS store will let me do this
but going to give it a whirl.
Thanks
