I'm seeing this in Windows 11, and clients have confirmed the same on their end with Windows 7 and 10. The .m4v videos do play OK on my system in Windows Media Player, and I am able to play an .avi video in LiveCode on my system.

did you try to just change the suffix to -> .mp4 ?
However Windows should also accept .m4v
