Video files not showing on my PC (LiveCode 5.5)

[Matthias Rebbe]

Hi Francis,

i think it depends which version of Mediaplayer is installed on the Windows PC, see an overview which file format is support by which version of Mediaplayer here

Regarding your question about using LC 5.5  on Win: Just try it. If i remember right, i was able to use my LC 5.5 on Win and Mac.

Regards,
Matthias
