I tried the browser widget: no audio, no video, white screen, no browser

I tried a mobile browser (mobileControlCreate): audio plays, no video, white
screen.
So yeah, it looks like there's no codec. The widget on desktop doesn't play it either. If I ask

Nope. AAC is lossy but better than MP3. You may be thinking of ALAC - Apple

Just to add to the confusion, here’s a clip from a good Wikipedia article:

Now if only would could get a LC and CEF build with that. Do you think it

They're kind of huge (like 400 MB) so I didn't copy them to my phone, but they play okay on Mac
using Firefox and on Android using Chrome browser. I guess that doesn't tell us much.
Swami suggested to me privately that he uses a browser widget to play videos so I will try that
next.

my guess is the LC player does not have h264 codec. its a codec that

QuickTime Player can play it, but it doesn’t need QuickTime.
I’m not sure what player LiveCode uses on Android, but it is highly likely to
be able to cope.
Is the LC Player an existing Android app?

I asked this before, looking for the best format for video files on both Android and iOS. Colin
suggested H.264 as the codec, and MP4 as the file format. I have a video with those specs but
it won't play in the LC player, and the Mac wants to open it with QuickTime. VLC will play it.
