MP4 in player object Windows 10

Post by hutchfx » Fri May 06, 2022 7:44 am

I've been developing a kiosk project on my Mac. I'm now moving it over to a PC running Windows 10 for deployment. The player objects on the Mac work fine for displaying MP4 videos. On the PC it isn't working, though I can run the MP4s using the PC media app with no problem. Does the LC player need a codec for MP4s?

Thanks!

Hi Hutch,

yes, currently LC uses an old multimedia framework on Windows, so you need something like the LIBAV codec collection.
Get it e.g. here: https://libav.org
LC will switch to the current multimedia architecture some time in the LC 10.x cycle so it will play MP4 out of the box.
And finally get "en par" with the Mac version.

Best

Klaus
