Thanks. The Mac won't play it, which is odd (usually in Finder a media thumbnail will play) and the Mac suggests QT as a default app, wbich is no longer supported officially.

I will try it on mobile when I get farther along, but for now I'd like to debug on Mac during development. The LC player is blank when I set the filename, presumably because it doesn't support QT either.

Hi J,
AAC is Advanced Audio Compression - successor to MP3.

Hope this will help you figure out how to play it.

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.

Get Info shows the codec as H.264, AAC. The file extension is mp4. Is AAC the problem (that's the audio format, right?) What should it be?

I haven't tried it on mobile yet, but if it needs QT I'm pretty sure it won't work.
