To make sure you’re video is the right format, download the sample stack in the bug report at https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=21278 <https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=21278>. I know that video works, at least on Mac.

I have QT 10.5 and it plays the video. Firefox does too. On Android, Chrome plays it. So it 
looks like LC mobile player could be the problem.

I downloaded the file from your bug report, set a LC player to the filepath on my Mac, and got 
the same empty black screen.
