I agree that working with Multimedia in Livecode recently has been a struggle.  
That is why I was reluctant to contribute to the 64-Bit Feature Exchange.  I 
just hope that the period we will have to suffer through between the time they 
remove multimedia support and when they put it back in is short.

Hi Klaus,

Indeed, the play audioClip/videoClip command is a bit outdated. These
commands will be updated when we redo multimedia on all platforms. However,
we'll have a look at this bug to try at least get functionality back to
where it was pre-6.7.

Best,

Hi,

Try

on mouseUp
   set the filename of player "myplayer" to "/Users/klaus/Movies/IMG_0008.mp4"
   play player "myplayer"
end mouseUp

Have a look at *player* and *videoClip* in the dictionary.


Regards,

Charles

play vc xyz, still stuck in the 80s?

2015-11-05 Thread Klaus major-k
Hi all,

after years of neglecting the „play“ command on the desktop
due to too few supported file formats, I read an encouraging posting
from Richard G. here on the list, where he told us that much had been 
done in this respect in Livecode, I decided to give it another try:

on mouseUp
  play videoclip "/Users/klaus/Movies/IMG_0008.mp4"
  put the result
end mouseUp 

Pretty straightforward, but no video, empty result!?
Event imported that file, no video.
Played with „the dontuseqt“, no vieo.
Added "…at the loc of this cd“ no video.

Tried with 7.1.1 RC2 and LC 8 DP7.

Any hints? 
Am I missing something, or is my subject line still true, more or less? 8-)

Thanks in advance!
