Peter - this is working well now. Thanks for the link, very informative.

What I’m doing now is…
I’m using the Livecode 8.1 series
Converting my QT files to wmv and putting those in the same directory as the QT
files
Using the platform property to detect the user’s OS
Setting the file suffix to .mov or .wmv depending on that result
It works well. My issue is wanting to not have the various players play
simultaneously—I have to stop the others when another plays!
The LC 8 player control on Mac uses AV Foundation, not QT, but does play QT
files. On Windows, LC 8 uses DirectShow to play audio and video.

Yes - 7.7.9. I re-installed Quicktime and got it working, playing sounds
simultaneously, but I'm still somewhat apprehensive since Quicktime has been
discontinued for so long now.
Do you know of anything else Peter or are we pretty much resigned to Quicktime
on the desktop for simultaneous sounds?

You do have QuickTime installed on your Windows machine? …if you are trying to
play a QT file.

I've lo0oked into playing multiple audio files simultaneously, for Windows and Mac
desktops, and come up with nothing but issues. Using a player object on my Windows 8.1
system, LC 7.1.1, I get an error of "could not open that video". Even if it
worked I understand there are latency issues as well as Apple discontinuing Quicktime.
I've tried SOX but for some reason can't get it to simply play an audio file
(via a shell command). If anybody knows the right syntax for this that would
be great.
Otherwise, does anyone know of any alternatives compatible with Livecode? I
hope I'm missing something here and that Livecode itself can do this. It seems
odd that with all the advances Livecode has made we're still struggling aith an
age old issue of how to play sounds.
Thanks!
