Yes, there is a lot of information that circulates on the forums or
lists or in people's head that probably should be in the LC documentation
In the LC9.x.x series, the Player supports any audio or video formats
supported by Apple Video Foundation (AVF) on macOS - google the apple
developer docs for AVF formats supported by macOS version. The Player
supports any audio of video formats supported by DirectShow on Windows.
Google DirectShow formats supported to find those.
NOTE while there is over lap, there are also formats supported only on
one platform or the other.
Also, unfortunately, if you are planning on doing anything more complex
that placing a video in a player and letting the user play it, you
should search the LiveCode quality center for player bugs - there are
many dozens. Some minor, some more serious.

Folks:
I’m building an app that needs to play movies. It’s a desktop app that I need
to work on Mac and Windows. But, when looking at the dictionary and the
lessons, all I get is references to Quicktime and the dictionary is hopelessly
uninformative about what formats are required.
I haven’t done this in a while. But, when I searched my emails from the users
list, the most recent reference I have is 2016. What the heck? The dictionary
entries are ancient and the lesson is totally useless. Sorry if I’m being
critical about this, but “what the heck is up with movie players??”. Have I
missed something? I really hope so.
Best,
Bill
