Quicktime Player

[Bobby666]

Hey!

I read some tutorials how to use the Quicktime Player and I understand that it only plays videos from my Pc. ( I don't know how to say it but I hope you know what I mean )
So when I work on another pc the video cannot play there. Moreover when I import a video as control I have to write the code for the video in a button.

So my Question is : Is it possible to use the Quicktime Player when the video is saved in Stack or something?
That the video can be played on other PCs with the Quicktime Player and not with a button?

Sorry for my bad english! I hope everyone understands my question.

Thank you for responds.

Hi Bobby,

please stop excusing for your not so bad english, you should hear my italian!

OK, sound like a PATH problem to me.
And of course on the target PC must QuickTime be installed, too!

Using internal/imported videos does only support a VERY small number of (outdated!) video
file formats and I would not recommend using this anymore.

Do this for a general test
1. Create stack
2. Save it
3. Copy the video you want to display in LC into the folder with the stack
A folder:
yourstack.livecode
great_video.mp4

4. Create a player in Livecode and set its filename MANUALLY(!) to just the name of the video:
great_video.mp4

This way you are using a RELATIVE pathname (relative to the stack) which will also work on
other peoples PC, AS LONG you put the video into the same folder as the standalone that you
create from that stack. Know what I mean?

A folder:
yourstack.exe
great_video.mp4

Hey Klaus !:D

Ich sehe gerade das Sie aus Deutschland kommen , jetzt kann ich mich ohne Probleme ausdrücken:D
Nein verstanden habe ich es nicht:D
Also muss ich einen Ordner erstellen , dort mein Video einfügen und den filename dann von diesem Video welches sich im besagten Ordner befindet auswählen ?
Also müssten alle anderen die dieses Projekt öffnen über den ganzen Ordner und nicht nur über die einzelne Livecode Datei verfügen?

Ist es erlaubt hier Deutsch zu schreiben?

I see that you are from Germany, then I can write German: D
No I don't understood it: D
So I have to create a folder, put my video there and then select the file name which is from this video ?
So all the other people who opens the project must have the whole folder and not just the Livecode file?

Is it allowed to write German here?

When not then I'm very sorry:)

Hi Bobby,

no, sorry, english is the "official" forum language
But you can write me a mail and I will answer in german:
klaus AT major-k.de

I know it is a lot easier to use your mother tongue when it comes to explaining technical stuff
