Text (uni)coding issue

Hi Francis, I am using LiveCode 5.5 (Mac, Sierra 10.12.6) mainly. But it cannot play some mp4 files. The video files do not show video frames. QuickTime 7 player cannot play the problem files, but QuickTime 10 player can. I think some new video files (mp4) are not a same old format of video. I

You could set your needle to be a valid LCS expression. I just ran a test using the following: *do* "if (" & pNeedle & ") then put tPath into xFoundPaths[the number of elements in xFoundPaths + 1]" It took around 4x of the time to run though. I set my needle to "tElement > 5000" for one test an

Howdy Andrew There’s a few things to deal with here. - you need to know your database encoding (let’s assume UTF-8) - you need to get values out of your database in a way that gives you the binary data rather than strings that the engine has assumed were in native encoding. Use: local tCurso

- you need to know your database encoding (let?s assume UTF-8) I was still fairly green to mySQL when I first created this database, so I never changed the default. Looks like the collation is "utf8mb4_unicode_ci". Should that be changed to something else? The server charset is UTF-8 Unic
