Not sure what you mean by "an existing app" but my test app uses mobileControlCreate to set up a mobile player. When it accesses the video from my server, it's all black with no video or audio, and the nonexistent playback quits a few seconds in. I'm not sure whether these videos were created

my guess is the LC player does not have h264 codec. its a codec that carries a license fee and agreement. I hope one day it can be included in an indy license and maybe the CEF can be built with the h264 codec. That would be really good for business. CHeers Tom On Thu, Apr 9, 2020 at 12:12
