Video Player and Win 10

[thebelg]

I try to use the player on a windows 10 PC.
We use MP4-Videos.
I have installed the LAVFilters.
I now try to set the Source property of the player.
we imports the filename (with Path), but in the field the system enters 4303557231594.
I can not change this Value.
When I look for the status of the player in the application, It is always "paused".

Any Help / Hints

[thebelg]

I forgot. We use Livecode 9.0.2.
On a iMac all works fine

Hi thebelg,

I now try to set the Source property of the player. we imports the filename (with Path)

so you are setting the filename of a player object, right?
What does "the result" tell you?

Code: Select all

...
set the filename of player xyz to "your pathname/to video/here"
## Should be EMPTY on success and might give a hint what is going wrong.
if the result <> EMPTY then
   answer the result
end if
...

...but in the field the system enters 4303557231594.

What field? What system?

Hello Klaus,
I made thetest and the answer is "could not create movie reference".
I can see the Movie-description in the "filename"-property of the player, and the movie is on the given place.
The "currenttime"-property changes to the value 4767413699670
The command "set the currenttime of player "VideoPlayer" to 0" doen't change this.

Any Help / Hint / suggestion???

Regards
Marcel

Hi Marcel,

that means that LC cannot open/display/play that movie file for whatever reasons, although it should. So all following commands do of course not work on that video.

Is there any solution for this problem by LC

[Klaus]

Does this happen with other MP4 files, too?

[thebelg]

Yes I have a dozen files on this system with nearly the same problem. Why is the current time value so extrem??

[Klaus]

What is the codec used inside of the MP4 container? H264?
Sorry, cannot test this, I am a Mac user.

Why is the current time value so extrem??

If LC cannot access the video, then the "currenttime" will show ANY invalid value!

[thebelg]

I will check it a.s.a.p.

Hello Klaus,

In the information window (on mac) I can see
"Codecs: AAC, H.264"

[Klaus]

Hm, should definitively be no problem, sorry, no more brilliant ideas in the moment...

Hallo Klaus,

The problem is solved. When you play videos who contains sound, you must attached a audio-device (Speaker), even when you don't use the Ausio.
But, thnaks a lot for your help.
