Might PB someday handle MP4 movie playback?

It does. Well, it uses whatever codecs you have installed. So install 'em for MP4.

I think I have the codec. I can play mp4 files with Windows Media Player but no joy with the PB movie functions. The video is H.264.

Yep, been playing MP4s for many years with PureBasic.
Here's the stats of one such video (H264 like you) as shown by Media Player Classic:

Using ts-soft's code the movie downloads to the temp folder ok but PureBasic does not play it.
The movie plays fine with Windows media player or VLC media player.
I'm using Windows 7 Home premium (x64) service pack 1.

I think you have to change the priority of codecs. You can use this tool:
