OS X has gotten far more attention for media playback than any other 
platform, now using Apple's latest AV APIs.

What do you want to do that's been difficult in v7 or v8?

Good news: unless you have a commercial interest that requires a 
proprietary license, you can use the GPL-governed Community Edition. 
The GPL does require that your stack source be available, but unless 
you're running a commercial venture that's usually not prohibitive, and 
many prefer to share their source so the software can be enhanced by others.

The benefits for your situation are two-fold:

1. LiveCode requires no payment for the Community Edition, so you can 
enjoy the latest version at no cost.

2. If you want to make a financial contribution to the project you can 
choose any amount on the Donation page:
