So back to my question: is there another way to play media using
other means beside a player?

Not that I'm aware of.

I will test the browser widget myself (I'm assuming it will work in
an HTML5 standalone.)

No, the browser widget is not available in HTML5 standalones (and indeed actually *can't* be for the time being due to the way that it works).

I posted recently-ish about the problems making certain types of LiveCode features (such as "wait" and the "URL" chunk) work in the HTML5 engine. I'm sure you can find the e-mail in the list archives. Those same considerations apply to many of the other yet-to-be-implemented features.

If you'd like to see multimedia and network connectivity in Community HTML5 standalones, you can speed up their delivery by finding a solution to those problems other than "redefine half the LiveCode Script language" or "rewrite the entire LiveCode engine".

You don't need to "bang the drum" about HTML5 Player control support. *I KNOW*. I will implement it as soon as 1) it becomes technically possible to do so and/or (2) a developer has time to work on it.

If you want it sooner: you can accelerate (1) by contributing the open source project; and you can accelerate (2) by contributing to the open source project or giving us more money (e.g. by buying an HTML5 deployment license, or by getting a Business license and purchasing dedicated developer time).

By the way, the same considerations apply to all the other "critically important feature requests" you so frequently put into the bug tracker, Brahmanathaswami.
