I think will be nice play mp4 movies native. I can play with 'loadMovie(' wmv format but still been impossible play mpeg4 (h264) movies native. Any lib like ffmpeg or variant vlc can be a solution but is not PB native.
Is only a sugerence. Thanks for read this.
PB forever!!

Im using windows 11

Unlike wmv, mp4 is a container like ogm or mkv, so even when being able to parse the container you still don't know what's inside and need a ton of codecs to support everything. Better use ffmpeg or VLC API. I guarantee you by simply supporting mp4 the movies that run on your computer won't run on many other machines.

Cisco has a h264 lib under bsd license on github.
