Including QuickTime In A Web Page

I'm currently doing a QTVR project, and to get around the IE embed problem I have spent the last few hours trying to get the few lines of suggested code working.

It does not work. Flash 360PanViewer with SWFObject it is then. Thankyou.

How do I fire a URL into QuickTime from a web page?

Looking at the Apple trailer site and I like the way that if you view a HD trailer it loads QuickTime and opens the video straight into QuickTime
Now I assume it's sending the URL of the MOV file to QuickTime to play.
How can I make a link from a HTML page send the URL into QuickTime to replicate the same way to run a video.
At the moment I build "pop up" windows to display movies in, and I think using QuickTime in this way will be better so if someone has popups blocked my movies will still play.
It must be simple to do.
I once did a site for someone that need a podcast and I got it to send it to iTunes. But I cant seem to see how to do the same for a movie to QuickTime

The technique is known as Poster Movies. A tiny image file saved as .mov file that can either act as a "placeholder" (target="myself") or act like a "link" (target="quicktimeplayer").
http://www.qtbridge.com/pageot/pageot.html
Free software to help write the proper page code.
Another method is a QuickTime Media Link (.qtl file). These tiny text based files can be placed anywhere in a Web page and will always download (Mac or PC) and will launch the QuickTime Player.

Code for Embedding Quicktime Movies in Web Pages-Question

I have been embedding QT movies in web pages for years. I used to use the embed and object tags, but due to the problems with the default settings of IE7, in regards to ActiveX, I recently changed to the javascript method.
I will paste sample code below, of how I use it, with the movie title change to sample: (of course I change the dimensions, depending on the movie size.)
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>
and I put at the top of the page, right before </head>
<script src="AC_QuickTime.js" language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>
I forgot where I got this code. Perhaps from someone on this forum, or elsewhere. It seems to work with the default settings on most browsers.
I have a couple questions, however, regarding fine-tuning it a little more.
1) If it takes a while for the movie to load, users who open my pages see a static Q QT icon. How would one make the icon flash, with flashing text that says "Loading", so that the user knows that the video is loading? (I have seen that on other sites, and don't know how to do that.)
2)As said the javascript works with most browser default settings, as most have javascript enabled by default. But what if a user does not have javascript enabled? Could the code sense that, and if non-existent, tell the user to enable javascript? Or, if javascript is disabled, could the embed and/or object tags be activated?
3) The code above, that I got from someone, says "cache=false". That means that each time someone sees the movie, it has to be reloaded from the net, and not from the browser cache, correct? If so, why would one want it to be set that way? If it's a large movie, a user with a slower computer and/or internet connection would certainly prefer if it could play from the cache the next time, loading much faster. Is there any reason to prefer "cache=false"?
4)Is there any code that could be put in, to allow the user, if they prefer, to download the file,(perhaps with a right-click or CTRL-Click), instead of playing it in the browser?
Thank you very much in advance, to whomever can help with these code questions.

Thank you for your reply, Kirk,
1)Yes, I do have "fast start" enabled in my files, and they were made with QT Pro, newest version. So no, there is no "trouble with my files".
However, I would still like to have that flashing "Loading" icon when the file is loading, as I see on other sites. (And yes, even with "Fast Start" enabled, depending on the size of the file, the speed of the computer and internet connection, it can take a little time beforeit starts.) Anyone know how to create that flashing "Loading" icon, rather than just the static Q?
2)I just wondered if there was a way for the javascript to recognize if the user does not have javascript, and bring up a message if that is the case, telling the user they need to enable it to see the content. (As would happen if the user does not have the QT plugin installed.) Yes, I realize it would not work to include in the normal way the embed and object tags as well, I wondered if there was a way to invoke them only if the user doesn't have javascript. Perhaps impossible, but I thought I'd ask, in case someone knows of a way to do that.
4)Yes, I guess I could just put a separate direct text link to the movie file for downloading. I just wondered if there was a way to put that in the javascript, so that if someone right-clicks on the QT icon, they can download rather than view it, rather than use a separate link. That may also be impossible, but I thought I'd ask, and see if there is a way to do that.
Your question to me regarding dimensions--I forget which was the QT movie, that I took that sample from. Yes, I have some in unusual sizes. They are not normal movies. I don't have time to explain more now though, and that has no bearing on the questions I asked.
Once again, thanks for replying, and if you or someone else could help further with my questions, I would appreciate it very much.
Have a nice day!

Embedding QuickTime Video om Web Page

Hello,
Thank you in advance for any help someone can provide. I am trying to embed a quick time movie on a web page. I have received the reference file from the company that will host the quick time movie and I successfully can embed the movie. How do I embed the movie with a frame of the movie with the controller to display when a visitor initially visits my page? Do I need to have the reference file recreated?

http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/javascript/excerpt/learnwebdesign_chap22/index.html
scoot down the page and you will see
Use the autoplay parameter and attribute to set whether the
movie starts
playing automatically when the page loads (true) or if the
user needs to hit
the Play button to start the movie (false).

jsp:include Not Printing On Web Page, But In Source Code

Hi there,
I just had a friend install Tomcat for me on my Apache server at school and it's working great with the test .jsp page I created... until I started to use the <jsp:include> tag. Here's my source for "index.jsp":
<html>
<head>
<% String title = "Hello World!"; %>
<title><%= title %></title>
</head>
<body>
<h1><%= title %></h1>
<jsp:include page="/inc/header.jsp" flush="true" />
</body>
</html> Here's my source for "header.jsp":
This is an include from the "inc" directory!When I load the page in a browser... "This is an include from the 'inc' directory!" does NOT show up on the page. However, if I view said page's source, I see this:
<html>
<head>
<title>Hello World!</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Hello World!</h1>
This is an include from the "inc" directory!
</body>
</html>Can anyone please tell me why my include ("This is an include from the 'inc' directory!") is NOT being rendered on the web page... yet appears in its source? Thank you,
CabG

Well,
I'm not sure why, but out of desperation I threw this:
<%@ include file='inc/header.jsp' %>below this:
<jsp:include page="inc/header.jsp" flush="true" />And it's working. Even after I took "<%@ include file='inc/header.jsp' %>" back out of the code. I must have done something wrong initially? I also removed the first "/" from my original:
<jsp:include page="/inc/header.jsp" flush="true" />To make it:
<jsp:include page="inc/header.jsp" flush="true" />But I thought I'd done that before, too. If anyone has any insight as to why it began to work after I added (then removed) the new code... love to hear it, as a new guy.

No Quicktime Sound in Web pages

Hi! I have been having serious problems with my sound in Quicktime. I have Quicktime 7.5.5 and I've found that audio files that appear on web pages do not play. The progress bar still moves, and all volumes are completely turned up, but no sound comes. Also, video files played online, a lot of the time, will also have no sound. The video will play and the bar will move, but no sound. I've found that if I uninstall and then reinstall Quicktime, it will work again for a short period of time, then the sound will go out again after usually just a few hours. I've had this computer for almost a year and I'd never had problems with this until I downloaded Quicktime 7.5. I had then later upgraded to 7.5.5 when it was released, hoping it would fix the problem, but it didn't. I'd like to downgrade to an even lower version, to pre-7.5 when the sound actually worked, but then my iTunes doesn't work anymore. Currently, iTunes works and Quicktime even works when playing files from the actual player on the computer, but internet web page files sound doesn't work. Any help you could give would be very helpful! I've googled this problem a hundred times in a hundred different ways and come up with no solution.
Thanks!

I am having challenges with computers without quicktime loading my web page

is it a requirement for a user to have quicktime to view an iweb website that has mp3 files loaded? I would have thought that any media player should have worked. My web site is thekarimfamly.com.

I've used other hosting solutions on mine such as YouTube or google video to host media on my sites. I'm fairly certain you can use any application and that you're not restricted to quicktime. I've experienced the same thing with my friends. Host on YouTube and select the media as private. That way, only the people on your site will have access!

How to include flash object in web page

Before invoking the code, I have registered the web object
as,
swfobject.registerObject("flash_scroll", "9.0.0",
"/portal/nam/swf/index.swf"); // path is relative to my app server.
Now when I put the same code in single directory, everything
goes smooth, but once I decompse the code and when it loads this
code from different places, it does not work out.
Please guide me as I am a Java guy, but I am suppose to solve
this asap :( some fire on my back...

Quicktime on a Web Page ActiveX

I cannot get this webpage to play Quicktime on Windows:
http://www.lionsgatebethesda.com/virtualtour_quicktime.html
Is there something I am missing in the code? Why on earth did Windows do that stupid ActiveX thing?
-Kirk

The file works just fine on this PC using IE 6:
http://www.lionsgatebethesda.com/Video/lionsgateREF.mov
I did not get any ActiveX alert dialog.
Your file does use the H.264 Video codec which requires the viewing machine have QuickTime version 7 installed.

No web browser (firefox included) will load certain web pages on a Mac. "Unable to connect."

I try to go to those pages. Immediately (without loading or any wait) I get an "unable to connect" message. On Firefox, it says "Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.cj.com." On Safari, it says "Safari can’t connect to the server." Yet I can access these websites using a PC which is on the same wireless network.
What is going on?! I don't know where the problem is. Is it the network, the computer, a firewall? It's making me crazy because new sites keep getting added to this "blacklist," often sites that I need to access for my business. This is very inconvenient.
== URL of affected sites ==
http://www.cj.com, www.cracked.com, www.ezinearticles.com

If this happens with both Firefox and Safari, it may be a problem with the internet connection on your mac. Do other internet applications work (mail, etc)?
Check the Airport menu on your mac and confirm that the icon isn't greyed out or has an exclamation mark.

Safari-Leopard: Quicktime Videos from Web Pages - GARBLED AUDIO

OK, so here is the problem:
1. I am using (the new) Leopard, and all updates have been downloaded and installed successfully.
2. In Safari, when an (embedded) video is present, the video appears perfect. However, the audio is garbled, and unintelligible. This is true for EVERY video I've tried to view on a webpage.
3. I've saved a few videos as Quicktimes to my desktop, and opened directly with Quicktime. The same problem occurs, without fail - GARBLED AUDIO
4. The most recent "test" was a Quicktime using the AAC, H.264 Codec.
5. It seems as if I have installed all of the appropriate plug-ins, but can't be sure of this.
So it seems as if this might indeed be a Quicktime problem, and not a Safari problem, but thought I would post here in case others are having similar issues. I will make the same post in the Quicktime forum as well.
What is the solution?!?!?!??
rw

Hi Robert
A number of Quicktime/Safari issues have surfaced with Leopard. Here's one example.
Have you looked at your Audio settings in your System Preferences>Quicktime>Advanced>Mime settings panel? In my panel, everything is selected except for Sound Designer II. Might be helpful to uncheck the Audio setting, select "done", then go back to the panel and select it again. Close the panel and try an audio in Safari again.
In your response here, please provide a link to your thread in the Quicktime forum. While Apple discourages posting the same issue in multiple forums, I think in this case the issue may be more Quicktime related than specific to Safari. So good to cover both bases.

How can I accept certificates for using QuickTime as player in web pages ?

Hi,
I want to use QuickTime embedded in web-pages as a player for my content.
When I provide a link that is under a certificate, the player (web page that hat this embedded) won't ask for approval of the certificate.
This will make the player un-usable, as it won't be displayed in the page.
How can I see if the content can be played and ask the user to open a new page, approve the certificate and the come back to the parent page and play the media.
Thank you,
Cheers,

Well I am actually using a template. And the flash video that
was created is way beyond my ability. So I tried initially to
separate the two, the intro video, and the navigation. But they are
intertwined in a way that I do not understand. I do need to do the
variable thing. I took a flash class in school, and my book does
not touch anywhere close to this. I know its probably too
complicated to explain through a forum, but can you recommend any
resources online or books that would go more in depth with this
sort if thing. If I can just see the way it works on another site,
I know that I can do on mine.
Thank you!!!
:)

Quicktime Logo w/Question mark on web pages

A few months ago, suddenly I was unable to view Quicktime files on web pages when they loaded. The program is on my computer and it will play files I have saved on my hard drive but when I go to a website that has a Quicktime file (still or video) I only get the Quicktime logo with a question mark and cannot open, play or access the file in any way. I've checked all the settings I know on my computer to fix the problem but none of them have worked. Anyone have a solution to this issue?

How to view/hear pretty much everything:
Assuming you already run OS 10.4.9 or above and have Quicktime 7.2, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
RealPlayer from http://uk.real.com/player/
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
Perian from http://perian.org/
Adobe FlashPlayer from http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
In Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them).
The world should now be your oyster!
You should also have the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.

Since latest upgrade I cannot "print" or show "print preview" from any web page. This is true of both of my printers and I have followed directions on plug-ins and have reinstalled Firefox etc. I am about ready to switch to Internet Explorer! w

Since upgrading Firefox, it doesn't respond when I click on print and/or print preview while displaying web pages.. No error message, just no response. I tried using both my printers..a HP and a Canon and get no results with either. I have no problem printing from any other place (including "Print" instructions within web pages, usually). I have recently upgraded my desktop (Dell Vostro 220) to Windows 7 and it went smoothly. The Firefox upgrade came at about the same time, so I don't know if Windows 7 is part of the problem. I need be able to print from the screen of web pages!

Hi jjoyceeric,
Have you looked at the Knowledge Base article [[Firefox prints incorrectly]]? There is some good troubleshooting information in there. I would suggest that you try resetting your print settings.
Hopefully this helps!

Can I stop Safari giving me cached web pages on [back] ?

I regularly read the news online where the home page for a news organisation (such as www.theguardian.co.uk ) contains many links to individual news stories.
So, the normal process is to read the home page, click on a news article, then hit back to go back and pick another many times.
However, on using [back] Safari pulls up a cached version of the news site, so listing news from whenever it last cached, often around 24 hours ago. To fix this, I have to first hit [back] and then [refresh] which is annoying.
Other browers I have used include options to check web pages (GIMS - Get If Modified Since [date/time of cache] - I believe) each time. I'd love that or a way to define specific web pages I'd like Safari not to cache or a way to force a cache refresh of a particular web page (put this in your cache now as I know I want to get to this version and throw away your old one).
Anyone got any ideas? Please don't recommend clearing the whole cache, thanks.

I'm going by your profile (10.7.2)
Try disabling the Lion "resume" feature...
Open System Preferences > General
Deselect: Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps
Restart your Mac, try Safari.
Restoring Safari windows may be causing a problem with the cache ...
I'd love that or a way to define specific web pages I'd like Safari not to cache or a way to force a cache refresh of a particular web page (put this in your cache now as I know I want to get to this version and throw away your old one).
