Video in Windows standalone not visible

[Steve Collins]

Livecode 6.4.3 (also tried later versions) saved as standalone with player object with .MOV (h.264 codec) video file. Plays great on Mac in player object and buttons added to start and stop it work. On Windows XP, with QT 7.7.6 installed, only the player object window appears, no video. The video plays fine on it's own in QT on Windows XP. Tried placing video in same folder and on desktop with app, nothing. Other simple features of the app work great. Authored on Mac OS 10.11. Thanks, Steve

Hi Steve,

sorry, I obviously overlooked this posting so far.

OK, that sounds like a pathname problem!
Please show us the script(s) that you use to set the players filename.

Sorry to hijack the thread, but I'm having the same problem.
The pathnames that I wrote are to the location of the files specific to my computer - I assumed that including the files in the build would 'correct' this- how should I specify the filepath so that the videos work in the standalone??

Hi AshaSato,

1. welcome to the forum!

2. Do you add your videos via the "Copy files..." tab in the "Standalone Builder Settings"?
Then you will find them here in your standalone: -> specialfolderpath("resources")
