Re: Video viewer on Webarea on Windows 7
Hi Kirk, Yes sorry, on this particular application it is still v13.6. Windows 7. I've solved the problem of IE when I upgraded it to version 11. So now video plays on IE and Chrome browsers on Windows 7. However I still cannot get it to work on the Webarea on windows (it works fine on OSX). I have enabled javascript via WA prefs. Still no go. I've turned on and off the "use Webkit" option and same problem. So right now I get it to work on Mac, Windows 7 IE v11 and Chrome but not 4D. I cannot set drag and drop on the area (4D v15 has option in prefs but I can't find a way to do it in v13.6). I tried another player ( Video.js) with same results. I have not tried Youtube's player on windows but it's not an elegant option for thsi purpose. I agree with you that using a browser to display the video is a solution and I do have it as a last resort. I would ask anyone that has successfully displayed/streamed a video (ideally mp4) on 4D Windows v13.6 to let me know. So right now logic dictates that either one cannot stream a video on v13.6 Webarea or I am doing something silly. For now I am assuming that it's my ignorance and not the Webarea.

Re: Video viewer on Webarea on Windows 7
Hi, (I don't see a name sorry). I am using URL's and they work on Win7 on Chrome but not Explorer. So certain it's not a URL problem. It may be the Webkit use so I'll check that. I've disabled drag and drop so I'll try that as well. Thanks for the tips.

Re: Video viewer on Webarea on Windows 7
Hello, I don't have a direct answer to you question concerning Web Area and Windows 7, but I can share some information that may or may not be relevant; could it be a path issue? the URL representation of a local file path on Windows is a bit strange: something like file:///C:/MyFolder/My%20File.html for C:\MyFolder\My File.html as opposed to file:///MyFolder/My%20File.html for Macintosh HD:MyFolder:My File.html on Mac. also you didn't mention the 4D version, but v12 was always stuck with a particular system rendering engine regardless of the Internet Explorer version installed locally. since v13 the "system" web area evolves with system update (I think). also, since v13 you have the option to use WebKit (or CEF since v17 64-bit) but the Windows open source edition of WebKit has much limited features compared to Mac. open "caniuse" with your web area if you are not sure if video is supported. https://github.com/miyako/4d-utility-compare-webarea-features so, check your path (easy way is to drag and drop the file on to a web area and inspect the URL variable), check your 4D version, check you web area type, check web area features using an online service like "caniuse". > 2018/11/02 5:27、Jim Labos - infobase via 4D_Tech <4d_tech@lists.4d.com>のメール: > > So the above is working fine on Mac but on windows I get the "ERROR: Cannot > locate Help file.". > > Is this error caused by Windows 7 not supporting HTML5?

Video viewer on Webarea on Windows 7
I am just testing a way to display short intructional videos in a 4D Webarea via simple HTML. On Mac it looks something like this: Video type="video/mp4" width="980" autoplay="True"> ERROR: Cannot locate Help file. So the above is working fine on Mac but on windows I get the "ERROR: Cannot locate Help file.". Is this error caused by Windows 7 not supporting HTML5? (I think the HTML above is HTML5 code but not sure as I just basically found some code and adapted it to my needs). Is anyone displaying video (mp4) on 4D Webarea on Windows 7?
