Hi Klaus I have been meaning to test this but have to get my Windows machine up and running. I have been using my Mac exclusively for a while.
I suspect I will get the same result as Paul but I may get a chance to try it before this week Saturday. I would be interested in how LC 10 works though. In LC 9 the player is using AVFoundation on Mac or DirectShow on Windows. In LC 10 the player will use Windows Player Media Foundation. https://livecode.com/livecode-10-sneak-peek/ Windows Player Media Foundation The current player on Windows uses DirectShow – which only natively supports the WMV file format. Newer video formats (such as MP4) require third-party codecs to be installed. The move to Media Foundation will mean these are natively supported. MediaFoundation libraries support all the modern codecs such as mp4 natively – so mp4s will play in player objects without any thirdparty components needing to be installed in the OS. Additionally, mirrored video playback will work correctly as well as non-standard playback rates. This brings parity between Windows, macOS, Android and iOS video playback features in terms of supported video formats. From what I remember the first DP of LC 10 did not include the new Windows Player Media foundation. I don’t know if it has been added to recent DPs. Once it is I plan to put it through its paces. Hopefully that will resolve the issue with variable rate playback and result in parity for windows and the other platforms.
