requirements for player object

Post by CenturyMan1979 » Tue May 21, 2013 8:38 pm

Is there anywhere I can find information on what requirements the end user would need to play videos with the player object?

Hi,

You need to provide a movie in an encoding that the end-user has installed. For most formats, the end-user also needs QuickTime, but some formats van be played without QT, which means that you'd be using the MediaPlayer architecture on Windows or MPlayer on Linux.

I would require the user to install QuickTime and make sure that the movies can be played by the default configuration.

Kind regards,
