Video Formats (Solved... almost)
Posted: Tue Jul 31, 2018 12:45 pm
Hi Brainstrust…
Quick question that has probably been asked a thousand times
Livecode Community 9.0 on Windows 10.
I have an issue with loading videos. I have looked through the forum and found the same issue with different formats. So I am a bit bemused...
In my IDE and standalone, I can load the following video formats into a player object:
*.mpg (as in the sample file)
*.avi
*.wmv (even though others haven't been able to!!!)
*.divx (yeah, I know!!!)
and it refuses to play the following:
*.mov
*.mp4
All of these files play on my computer in the system players. But in Livecode IDE and standalone, no play.
So... I got Klaus to have a look at the stack. It loaded everything OK. I take the standalone to my wife's computer (also Windows 10), and it loads and plays everything...
I know there is a problem between computer and chair, and I know there is a problem with Windows 10 (you know... it's just crap)… but does anyone else know if there is something that I need on my computer to get these damn things to work? I am unfamiliar with the inner workings of the video stuff... If it's referencing something on the system that's not there, causing the inability to load??? Drivers??? Codecs??? Players???
Thoughts?
