I get you for sure.  Have been waiting for this feature myself.  We do not use 
the recording aspect QT, but we do need smooth playback for video on all 
platforms. Our testing shows that the playback is very smooth in early builds. 
Have not tested recently though. Updated media for Mac at least is the key 
feature we need out of 6.7.  Will solve the very poor playback we are 
experiencing with OS 10.8 and 10.9.  Our user base is letting us know how 
unhappy they are with the video playback today.

Fine for you but...

Doesn't anybody get what I'm saying?

that the audio/video record features were broken and half-developed before.

and I was hoping against hope that V7  or 6.7 will finally have this stuff
working.

I have a completed video record application with hours of work that WORKS

more in the new foundation that takes us beyond the 2002 Audio visual

So? What's the problem?

The simple answer is NOT to upgrade.

My Devawriter and my Pismo are made with Livecode 4.5; they work, they
do all that I require; so why should I upgrade?

In fact, were I to upgrade to 7.0 the functionality would be broken 
(Unicode).

Then why don't you say so :-p

Since it is all still very new, my guess is that there isn't that much 
to test. However, from the sparse info in the release notes, I conclude 
that the new player control has most, if not all, features that the old 
player control has plus two new features (hiliteColor and foreColor). 
That should allow you to make your own test stack, if you have OSX 10.8 
or later.

Hi Muaadh (and Klaus),

The correct syntax is:

create player

This is all. It will instantly create a player in the current stack, 
which can be changed with the properties inspector.

not sure what you are asking for, you already created a player object as you 
wrote:
​msg box   :create player tool : ​
​player "pointer tool" created

Maybe with an unexpsected name, but a player :-)

"(the) tool" is a keyword and has been resolved first so the name of your new 
player -> pointer tool

Use something like this:
## syntax: create OBJECT_TYPE NAME_OF_NEW_OBJECT
create player "your fancy name here"

Hi Stephen,

The crash on Windows is not related to AV Foundation, although it might 
be the result of the many changes that were necessary to implement AVF 
on Mac.


Dragging the player control from the Tools palette into a stack window 
causes an immediate crash on Windows, but you can still create one from 
the message box, as I wrote in the other thread on this subject.

QT in Release 7 dp-7

2014-07-22 Thread Muaadh Salih
In the release notes of dp-7 it was mentioned that QT related feature don't
work.
I read this as related  to MAC OS .
It seems that is related to Windows 7 ( there is crash as soon QT icon  in
Tools menu clicked)  . I am right in this ?
If so is there an entry in the Dictionary related to the use of  AVF
foundation Player ?
