Can't play audio inserted in container field

[quiddam]

Hello.

I'm using FMP 18 Advanced, and am unable to play mp3's in a container field on a Windows 10 machine.  I can insert and play these files on a Mac. On the PC the audio files do insert in the container field but do not play.

OK, I now can play audio files on my PC by exporting the contents of a container field and then it will play with VLC.

I'm using this script as an "audio flashcard" where the user listens to the audio and then types the word in a field which parses the input to let the user know if he/she has typed the word correctly.

Do you use MBS FileMaker Plugin?

There we have functions to play audio on Windows independent of a container file. See WMFP functions.
