What type video files does the browser widget handle on each platform? Is there a list anywhere? For instance, if the app was on a Mac, would the browser widget be able to use ogg audio?
Is the browser widget just a "hook" into the native browser on the platform or did the geniuses at LC actually build their own browser? If the browser object is just a "hook" into the native platform's browser, this would mean that Safari on the Mac and iOS would be used and that ogg audio would not be played. On Windows, IE would be the native browser and ogg audio could be played.

Hi Linda,
it is just a "hook" to the native platform browser, so all that you mentioned will apply.

Hi Klaus,
Some versions ago, LiveCode's browser widget used
Chromium Embedded Framework. (aprox. 50 mb)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromium_ ... _Framework
In which Livecode version they changed the browser widget
to use the default OS browser?
Thanks in advance!

So this must have happened at some point in LC 8.x...
In LiveCode 8.0+, this function is no longer supported on Mac.

Re: Browser widget and audio
Then, Windows and Linux uses Embedded Chrome Framework.
Android, Mac and IOS uses the native browser. Right?
