quick guess: In Livecode 7 the "dontuseqt" property is set to TRUE by default, 
since it uses the new AVFoundation on the Mac to display media in a player object.

Try to set this property to FALSE on preopenstack and see if that works.

I hate these "dont_XYZ" properties, they are just too mentally challenging! :-D


Best

Klaus
