Embedded QT Pro won't play

What am I doing wrong?
I make a movie in QT Pro and export for web and I put these files on my server:
QuickTime Movie (small file)
M4V File (big file)
Poster (jpg image)
Then in the same directory I put the embedded <head> and <body> HTML from the read me page in an HTML file.
When I access the file, I get the player with the poster picture but when I click play the blue QT symbol turns dark blue and a Question mark shows up in the middle.
Thanks Gary

OK, let me backup a little.
The server is at "http://www.mnlakecams.com/"
The HTML from the Read Me page is below, so which line or lines do I need to add the complete path?

MacBook Pro won't play .mov or .wmv files.

Since "upgrading" to Lion my MacBook Pro won't play .mov or .wmv files, all I get is a black screen and the audio. It's so frustrating!!
I've read many other posts all along the same lines and wherever possible I've tried to follow the advice which has been given but nothing works.    I've updated all the drivers I can and I've even reinstalled Lion, nothing makes a difference.
I'm not really looking for any more advice, all I want is someone from Apple to read these posts, realise there is problem and get working on a fix or update.
I had no problems when running Snow Leopard and it would seem, looking at everyone else's problems, that the common issue is Lion.   Seriously, this is one area where Lion is a backwards step.   It should just work (like most things from Apple), but it doesn't.
Personally I believe there is a problem with Lion but from what I've found out from speaking to friends with other Apple kit, this might be a random issue only affecting some people as some have said they've had no problems while others have had the same issues as me.    One guy reinstalled Lion and it resolved the issue for him, I've not been as lucky.
As I say, I'm not really looking for more advice, simply some sort of update from Apple to fix it.   PLEASE!!!

This is a peer-to-peer user forum. Perhaps you would see more action if you and others would file a formal "Bug" report with Apple QuickTime technical people rather than repeatedly reporting a possible problematic problem which may or may not affect others on a random basis. QUICKTIME PRODUCT FEEDBACK
Since you aren't seeking further advice here is what I have observed. Not being a regular WMV file user, I had to create my own sample file to test—a WMV 9 file containing WMV3 compressed video and WMA2 compressed audio. Since I normally use QT 7 as my primary media player, I also stored the WMV data in its partially decompressed form in an MOV file container to avoid pre-playback delays in "classic" player routines and also provide a secondary playback test of MOV wrapped content. These files play as follows using the Flip4Mac component/player support and uncoded URL uploads:
QT 7.6.6 "Open File" - both files play correctly.
QT 7.6.6 "Open URL" - both files play correctly.
QT X.1 "Open File" - WMV file plays correctly. MOV file plays video without audio.
QT X.1 "Open Location" - WMV file appears to open but plays with "black" screen and no audio. MOV file plays video without audio.
VLC "Open File" - WMV plays correctly. MOV file doesn't open,
VLC "Open URL" - WMV file plays correctly. MOV file appears to open but nothing plays.
MPEG Streamclip "Open File" - both files play correctly.
MPEG Streamclip "Open URL" - both files play correctly.
GarageBand - WMV file will not import but MOV file does.
iTunes - WMV file will not import. MOV file container is accepted but as soon as iTuness sees the compression formats, it aborts import.
Safari - WMV file URL auto-downloads and playes in the QT X.1 Player. The MOV file URL opens and plays in Safari.
As you can see from these results the files do play but are subject to many different constrints based on old/new video technology support, independent QT subsets and/or container trapping constraints. In short, individual user results will depend on presence/absence of component support, actual compression formats, file container, application being used, and how the application is being used. Unfortunately, most users here can't or won't provide the prerequisite information or a sample file for independent examination. This makes it next to impossible to give advice in these matters or categorize the specific nature of the problem.

Premiere Pro won't play media intermittently in Yosemite

Hello all,
I have a Premiere Pro CC 2014 (2014.1 Release, the latest one) installed on Yosemite 10.10.
It's running on a Macbook Pro (Early 2011 model) with 16gb of RAM, 512GB SSD, 1TB HDD, AMD Radeon 6750 Card with 1GB of RAM.
On Mavericks 10.9.5 it all ran perfectly.
On Yosemite I have intermittent problem with media playing.
After a restart if I open Premiere Pro and open any of my projects it will say media loaded, however it won't play it. If you hit play nothing happens. The videos won't show either in source window or timeline. Quitting the program results in a hang. I have to force quit the application and than I get an error Premiere Pro encountered a serious error. Upon second program open, the media will work fine and everything will work fine. That's until I turn off the computer or restart it and than it's over again. I have to open the program, force quit it and only than it will work.
I cleared Premiere's preferences, caches, moved media to a different drive, reinstalled Premiere Pro and even clean installed the operating system. The problem persists.
What's interesting is that if I open Premiere after a restart and start a NEW project, import the media and start editing, it will work. When I save it and quit and than open the program again it will show the same problem and I'll have to force quit it after which it will work again.
The only plugin I have is Neat Video 3.6.
This problem is really annoying and I hope someone can help me solve it out.
All best,
Goran

Hi CopyCatFilms,
Shouldn't Adobe be the one updating to account for video card driver changes? I thought that was the benefit of paying monthly?
We test all GPUs with current drivers, but new drivers can come out faster than releases of Premiere Pro. Also, we can't update Premiere Pro every time there is a driver update. That would be pretty difficult to pull off. Sorry.
If not, please advise on which NVIDIA graphics driver will actually work with PrPro. Because this is NOT working. Currently running: CUDA Driver Version: 6.5.45
Typically, we recommend that you install the latest drivers for your GPU. It sounds like you have done so. Most people are having best success with these drivers on systems running OS X 10.10.2. Are you updated to that version?
It renders out complete videos with weird pixel bugs across them.
When did it start behaving this way? After installing the new drivers? After updating OS X? After updating a Premiere Pro project from Premiere Pro CC 2014.1 (8.1) to Premiere Pro CC 2014.2 (8.2)? We need more info to assist you: FAQ: What information should I provide when asking a question on this forum?
Not to mention, it crashes 10 times a day...running back to FCPX.
If you're crashing that many times per day, you should troubleshoot your system with our agents. Contact them M-F 7AM-7PM PST. Ask for the "video queue." You can either chat or get a phone call going: Contact Customer Care
The other possibility is that by updating OS X, you may have changed the read write permissions of crucial Adobe folders. See this article for an explanation and a potential fix:
Premiere Pro CC, CC 2014, or 2014.1 freezing on startup or crashing while working (Mac OS X 10.9, and later)
I also recommend the following steps for Mac users having trouble crashing on Mavericks or Yosemite:
Sign out from Creative Cloud, restart Premiere Pro, then sign in
Update any GPU drivers
Trash preferences
Delete media cache
Delete preview files
Remove plug-ins
If you have AMD GPUs, make sure CUDA is not installed
Repair permissions
In Sequence Settings > Video Previews, change the codec to one that matches your footage
Disconnect any third party hardware
If you have a CUDA GPU, ensure that the Mercury Playback Engine is set to CUDA, not OpenCL
Disable App Nap
Reboot
Let us know if any of these steps worked for you.
Thanks,
Kevin

Embedded audio file won't play in Safari

I'm trying to plan an embedded audio file in safari, but it just never loads. Similar files on the same page are marked 'Flash 9 is required to listen to audio' - I have listened to these files before without any problems.
I have Flash 11.5 installed, have tried uninstalling/reinstalling Flash and all the fixes for when YouTube videos won't play in Safari but to no avail.
Any suggestions?

You will really need to upload it if you want someone to help you troubleshoot the problem. It could be any number of reasons.
If and when you do upload, make sure that you upload the supporting folder that is created when you create a swf on a page.

QT Pro won't play avi or mov movie

I've download the latest QT Pro but it still won't play the video portion of an AVI or MOV video. What else do I need. I find it incredible that you have to go to this much work to play a video on a MAC.

I just updated QTpro and I can't get audio to play on avi or mov. It's started out and then kept disappearing and now nothing. Major drag.

Quicktime Player Pro won't play any movies?

Ever since I restored my computer about a month ago, my Quicktime Player won't play any video formats correctly. .avi files don't play anymore, and mp4 files only play sound with the screen black. Then when I try to close the application, I get the pinwheel for a long time, thus making me force quit every time. How can I fix this so it can play movies correctly?
(I'd also like to know how to get it to play .mka format movies as well)

Courtney,
There are a lot of possible CODECS used with .AVI file, not all of which are available for the QuickTime player.
If you just want to play the AVI files use the free VLC media player found at http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

You can't boot OS X with a Windows boot device.
Internet Recovery is the next step. Follow ssls6's advice.

Quicktime Pro won't play FCPro exported Qtime mov

I exported mov files from Final Cut. But Quicktime won't play them.
Have installed some 3rd party Codecs but no joy.
What do you think is the problem?

I exported mov files from Final Cut. But Quicktime won't play them.
What audio and video compression formats did you use? Are you trying to play them back on the same computer or a different one?

MAC: Premiere Pro won't play. Nothing happens when pressing spacebar, nor play button on timeline

Help!! Deadline looming! Nothing happens when I press play on any window or spacebar in Premiere Pro. The play button turns to stop and nothing else happens. I have also installed Premiere CS6 and everything works fine there.

Macbook Pro won't play any videos on any browser or any site

Videos on youtube, tumblr, facebook, amazon instant, netflix and any other video I come across will not play and will not even start to load on my macbook pro. I have uninstalled and reinstalled flash, I have cleared all website data, I have cleared my history, I downloaded chrome (and the problem did not change on the new browser), I have restarted my computer multiple times, and nothing seems to work. Has this happened to anyone else? Does anyone know how to fix it?

I would, first of all, try another browser. If you don't already have it, try Firefox, if it works ok in Firefox I would try resetting Safari.(uncheck "remove saved names and passwords" if you don't have them written down anywhere)

New Mac Pro Won't play back

I'm having a problem with my new Mac Pro 2.66 I keep getting the error, "couldn't keep up". I've got maybe 5 tracks (Kontakt 2,Real Guitar, and EXS) and a couple plug ins and I can't get it to play. I press the space bar and it spins for a sec...plays maybe 1 second and then quits...pops up with the message saying it couldnt access info fast enough. I had my samples on a different computer networked via gigabit but some said that was the problem so I transfered them to a seperate internal (sata 2) drive and it still doesn't work. My CPU is either very low or it maxes out 2 or 3 of the cores before the freeze. I can't believe this is happening with this machine. This is why I got a new one. anyways...thanks for all suggestions.

Same problems here without any Native Instruments plugs.
4 tracks at the same time (2 audio and 2 nexus((or any other instruments))
apple says: we don´t now about this problem and because my 90 day!!! support is finish I have to pay 208EUR and than they help me.
On my old PC with Logic 5.51 have I no problems.
I must press play on the mac again and again and than Logic
plays.
Same problem with the original mac pro HD or a second HD.
sorry for my bad english,but no german support here!

Quicktime Pro won't play my .avi videos

I got a bunch of .avi videos, they are encoded using xvid codec. They play fine in media player but don't play at all in Quicktime. What codecs do I need for Quicktime Pro 7?

You need a codec that plays the compression a particular avi is encoded in. You can try these two sites for codecs that play most recent avi files

HT2499 my macbook pro won't play any dvds - so many problems with this machine I wish I hadn't switched - constantly frustrated and find it so unfriendly

So much wasted time with this MacBook Pro - I so regret buying it, but I guess I have to stick it out for awhile, seeing as it was twice as much $$ as a new Toshiba (why oh why did I switch) - not friendly at all. i.e., I didn't have to have a support community with my PC - it just worked!! That being said, does anybody know why this thing keeps telling me "not permitted" - ? It brings up a dvd player icon but gives me a black screen that says not permitted.

ok, I found a TS file and the program separated all my chapters into separate files. eg., there are ten little VLC icons - so, at least I know the computer is recognizing the files to a certain extent. I am used to the dvd opening with its menu on other computers - what program on the MAC would do this so that I can just play the dvd right through and use the menu, if I want to?
Thanks to everyone who replied.....
As you can tell, I am not super computer literate - I just want to use this new Mac with the facility that I am used to with my old Toshiba, programs that are friendly that I can navigate around and organize/burn/play my dvds/CDs. That is why my daughter (20 years old) talked me into buying this Mac when I needed a new computer, she said all her friends who make movies and other media have MAC, but her really Geek friends don't use MAC. Sigh.....my struggle continues - I think I will have to take a Mac course, or try to sell this and go back to PC. Only so much time I am willing to put in.....I end up serving this MAC rather than it serving me.....BF

Premiere Pro won't play more than 1 sec of video?

I've read many articles where the simple solution was to delete a file. The issue is that...
I can't find the file anywhere: com.apple.audio.AggregateDevices.plist
tried Admin/users, spotlight, partial or full name. Premiere Pro (CS5) is less than a week old in a brand new iMac. Is there a different solution for the problem? (video playback stops after 1 sec)
Thank you

Well - I figured this out for me. The video that was imported into the project was not compatible with the project.
When-ever you have a problem, try to play with it using different project formats, different video formats and another thing I do is I try to edit the same video on someone else's computer... This is what I think of as isolating the problem.
For this issue. I exported the "bad" video by using the encoder with my default settings. I then imported the "new" video into the same project and it worked. So, what I thought is that the camera recorded the video in a different format then usual and it did not work with my default project settings.
I checked the camera and I was correct. So, when the video does not play, but another one does, probably format conflict.
