I think you can do:

put URL "http://192.168.178.66/export?format=1"; into URL 
("binfile:"&tLocalFile) -- where the variable tLocalFile contains the 
file path to a new .xls file, such as 
"/Users/Fred/Documents/mySensorData.xls"

yes, thanks, I already asked Heather and they cannot give a date yet, but it 
will definitively in the LC 10.x cycle.

Re: playrate & templateimage

[Martin Koob via use-livecode]

Hi Klaus

I have been meaning to test this but have to get my Windows machine up and 
running.   I have been using my Mac exclusively for a while.

I suspect I will get the same result as Paul but  I may get a chance to try it 
before this week Saturday.

I would be interested in how LC 10 works though.   

In LC 9 the player is using AVFoundation on Mac or DirectShow on Windows.

In LC 10  the player will use Windows Player Media Foundation.

https://livecode.com/livecode-10-sneak-peek/
Windows Player Media Foundation

The current player on Windows uses DirectShow – which only natively supports 
the WMV file format. Newer video formats (such as MP4) require third-party 
codecs to be installed. The move to Media Foundation will mean these are 
natively supported. MediaFoundation libraries support all the modern codecs 
such as mp4 natively – so mp4s will play in player objects without any 
thirdparty components needing to be installed in the OS.

Additionally, mirrored video playback will work correctly as well as 
non-standard playback rates.

This brings parity between Windows, macOS, Android and iOS video playback 
features in terms of supported video formats.


From what I remember the first DP of LC 10 did not include the new Windows 
Player Media foundation.

I don’t know if it has been added to recent DPs.   Once it is I plan to put it 
through its paces.

Hopefully that will resolve the issue with variable rate playback and result in 
parity for windows and the other platforms.

thank you very much for testing!

So apparently it does not work on Windows as it does on a Mac, and thus 
currently not usable for me.

If PITCH was a property value I could test and report, but as I understand what 
you are looking for is for someone to adjust the playRate and HEAR whether the 
pitch is changing and I doubt - with my bad hearing - I could tell if the PITCH 
was changing!

Well, that is the point, the PITCH does NOT change, only the speed of the

1) Under LC 9.6.6, changing the playRate can cause LC to hang, whether 
the video is playing or paused. Not every time, but some of the times it 
would just pop up an endless spinning windows cursor ball and Windows 
would declare that LiveCode 9.6.6. was "not responding" and a forced 
quit would be required.

Windows 10 (latest build) LiveCode 9.6.6 STABLE.

No, don't think so. I released it as freeware, since I cannot afford an

oh, thank you.
Sounds like this may only work at some time in LC 10 with the new 
"Mediafoundation" framework on Windows.
