Hello, LC 8.1.4, Windows 8.1
I am using the Windows standard videoPlayer API DirectShow with h.264 videos. LAV filters for playback of h.264 are installed. On a customer machine something weired happens. After starting the video, the videoscreen stays black, no video is seen. If the user klicks at the title bar of my program window and drags it around the screen, the video is seen. When he stops, the video keeps black. So I thought, this must be a strange issue of how the graphic card handles the screen/video buffer. I also tested with alwaysbufferon true/false without any change of the issue. By chance the user tested to play one of my videos in the standard Microsoft MediaPlayer (which worked fine) and while this MediaPlayer is open, all videos can also be seen in my program. As soon, as the MediaPalyer is closed, the videos again can't be seen in my program. I have no idea, what could be the releated issue between the Microsoft MediaPlayer and the LiveCode VidePlayer, especially, because the MS MediaPlayer uses the Media Foundation API and LC the DirectShow API. The only explanation for me would be, that the MediaPlayer switches a system jumper behind the sceens, which changes anything in handling the video buffer, but as I don't have any more known options in LC as "alwaysBufferOn", I have no idea, if there is anything I could test or check anymore. Any ideas welcome.
