Thanks. The Mac won't play it, which is odd (usually in Finder a media 
thumbnail will play) and the Mac suggests QT as a default app, wbich is no 
longer supported officially.

I will try it on mobile when I get farther along, but for now I'd like to 
debug on Mac during development. The LC player is blank when I set the 
filename, presumably because it doesn't support QT either.
