With some help from Joe Huber I think I found the issue.

Flip4Mac plugin needs to be updated for Quicktime. The affected files were not wmv but it didn't seem to matter (they were avi files quicktime can normally play fine).

No problem now.

I'll post on the list so it will be in the archive.

Thanks for checking.

From the limited amount of testing I am doing right now it seems this is a quicktime issue rather that an RB issue but I though I would run it by everyone.

It seems that if a movieplayer is loaded with a movie and then set to nil my realbasic app will unexpectedly quit. This happens in all apps built from 5.2.4 to RB2006r1. Many of these apps are the originals I built years ago.

This used to work fine. Not sure what the issue is. Is this something I should not be doing?

The following is sample code that illustrates the problem...

In a window place 2 pushbuttons named "Load" and "Nil" and a movie player.

In the Load Pushbutton action event:

  dim f as FolderItem

  f=GetOpenFolderItem("any")
  if f <> nil then
    If f.Exists then
        MoviePlayer1.Movie = f.OpenAsMovie
    end if
  end if

In the Nil Pushbutton action event:

MoviePlayer1.Movie = nil

You will also need to set up an "any" file type with ???? as creator and type.

Loading a movie and then pressing Nil will crash my RB app here with OS X 10.4.5 and Quicktime 7.0.4. Do other people see this issue?

This issue breaks quite a lot of code I have written. Does anyone have a suggested workaround?

Thanks in advance,
