Latest Quicktime doesn't play films in browser

Looks like the latest Quicktime has a bug or something, because it is not playing any animation what soever on my browser (firefox). Keep seeing the quicktime logo with a question mark....
is it a bug or something I can fix?

Further research
movies (flash) play in Safari correctly, but not in Firefox. To correct problem in Firefox browser see below instructions.
Quicktime plugin takes over Flash
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Quicktimeplugin_takes_overFlash
If you see a Quicktime symbol with a question mark where the Flash content should be, it means that Quicktime has taken over handling of Flash files. Open the Quicktime Control Panel, select the Browser tab (or select "Browser Plug-in" from the drop-down menu in Quicktime 6 or earlier). Click the "Mime settings" button and uncheck "Flash media" or "Flash file" under "Miscellaneous" and restart your browser. If the problem persists, remove the file "pluginreg.dat" from the "Firefox" or "Mozilla" folder in the profile folder location. Additionally, remove any "npqt*.dll" files found in the Mozilla Suite or Firefox installation directory's plugins folder. [7]

Media played with Quicktime doesn't play! Help please!!

I recently got a new iPod nano, and had to update my iTunes. Since I've done this, Quicktime hasn't been functioning properly. The sound (of a trailer, movie, etc) will play, but the media window doesn't play the picture; instead the window is just green. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling several times, each without results.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

I had the same problem 4x. They did a clean and install and an archive and install to no avail. Here is the solution. The genius bar went on to the discussion board and found the solution. Ready; go to hard drive then /Library/Internet Plug-ins/Quicktime Plugin.webplugin. Delete last Quicktime plugin.webplugin. Let me know . peace

Lately, Quicktime doesn't play anything.

I noticed Quicktime no longer plays anything. (I can use other applications for playback). I just checked and am still running QT 7.6.4, maybe that has something to do with it? I'm going to download, install and report back…

I downloaded the update and am good to go.

Quicktime doesn't play streaming

Using Lion, I have a website that has embedded quicktime content. It won't play and I just get a black box. So I did some searching and found nothing. I suspected the browser, but I tried Safari, Chrome and Firefox and none would work.
I then went to Apple's website for movie trailers (http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/) and when I select any trailer to play I get a popup that says "Get Quicktime. Download Quicktime to view this video". If I click it a webpage loads that says "Quicktime is built into Mac OS X".
This works on my Snow Leopard machine and my Mac Pro running Lion, but not on my Macbook Pro.
I've exhausted ideas to resolve. Anyone? Very frustrated.

Quicktime doesn't play .mpg camera videos!

after upgrading to latest QTplayer i cannot hear any sound! anyone with the same problem? videos are from sony still camera and i think they are MPG1.

Try this freeware for exporting from mpeg muxed files, as QT has never exported the sound from such files and in the case of mpeg-2 files it does not play sound in some of the audio formats:Mpeg StreamClip

Quicktime won't play in any browser

Until recently quicktime played fine on all my internet browswers then somthing unknown happened so that In all browsers I get a quicktime question mark and nothing will play. This happens in all my browsers so that it must be something to do with my Mac. I have a Mac G4 10.3.9.

What version Quicktime?
No question that the content is QT and not Windows Media Player, right?
Have you checked the settings in the system preferences and does everything look good?
Are movies set to play automatically? Have you tried different web sites with QT content to rule out the website as being faulty?
Have you tried to launch QT first, and then open the url from the file menu?
If not, do that first and if nothing changes, then it may seem silly, but I'd once again repair permissions, and I'd also run the disk repair while booted from the #1 CD.
Or download Onyx (free) and run it.
Report back.....good luck!

Quicktime doesn't play video or audio

I'm working of a brand new Macbook with OSX 10.4.9 and I just upgraded to Quicktime Pro 7.1.3
I have a bunch of movie files that I've saved over the years that won't play. They're AVI files, and they open but all that's there is a white screen and no sound.
Any suggestions?

There is no single codec for movies that have .avi extensions. AVI is a container format, not a specific type of file. An AVI movie may use one of the Indeo codecs (there are at least four that I'm aware of, none of which have been ported to Mac OS X) or one of the various flavors of DivX, among other possibilities. You'll have to find out what codec was used for the movies you want to view to determine what you need. Note that not all codecs for the various .avi movies are available for QuickTime.
If you want to try "hit and miss", you can try the codecs at http://www.divx.com/ and http://www.3ivx.com/ and see if one of them will work for you. Perian, which rolls several codecs into one package, might also work.
If you just want to play the movie any way you can, you can also give this player a try:

Forum Tip: Since you're new here, you've probably not discovered the Search feature available on every Discussions page, but next time, it might save you time (and everyone else from having to answer the same question multiple times) if you search a couple of ways for a topic, both in the relevant forums, in the User Tips Library and in the Apple Knowledge Base before you post a question.

Quicktime doesn't read sequences on internet

Hi,
As I open Safari or Firefox, Quicktime doesn'y play no sequences anymore. In every sequence-placeholder I just see the Quicktime-logo with a questionmark inside. This happened just after I tried to download 'flahpalyer'.
I already dumped 'flafhplayer' and tried to reinstall Quicktimeplayer (the newest version). It seems like the browser doesn't recognize the Quicktimeplayer anymore.
The preferences in Quicktime are unchanged.
Is there anybody who has got an idea what I did wrong?
Thanks for helping,

The flash player plugin is just to see flash video application.
If you never see your video in web page and have reinstall QT and the flash plugin:
go to the quicktime prefpane and checks the box to make able QT to read falsh application and also click on MIME settings and then select "video" to obtain a full compatibility with all video formats.

Quicktime doesn't open AVI file with Perian installed

I have installed Perian but Quicktime X doesn't open AVI files for a week. I have repaired permissions. But Quicktime only plays the AVI file if I reboot the Mac. VLC always plays the file. The AVI codec is XVID. Quicktime doesn't play other formats such as FLV. I have deleted .plist files, com.apple.QuickTimePlayerX.plist. I have found other files(com.apple.QuickTimePlayerX.plist.0GH3f31, com.apple.QuickTimePlayerX.plist.0h9MBzV...) that I deleted also. Any idea? Thanks

And now ... surprisingly I view AVI files in Quicktime without Perian.
QT has very limited AVI support (file type and a few older codecs) built in. Most common codecs use by Windows users, however, require the additional support provided by Perian. If the AVI files are now playing in QT without Perian, then simply check the Inspector, Properties, or Info window to see which codecs are in your AVI file and you should be able to tell if they are among those supported "natively" by QT. Also note that this regaining of the ability to play your files may indicate a component conflict of some sort may have existed previously.

My quicktime can't play avi file

HI everyone does someone know why my latest quicktime can't play avi file?

Let me tell you what are you doing wrong...
you just followed the wrong road try this one instead and you will love it.
*1st of all*: Dont pay attention to QuickTime, no matter what movie you want to view
just download and install VLC Media Player and your worries about formats, video codecs, audio codecs, multi zone dvd reproduction will be over in a sec!
just "open as" > VLC Media Player and you will see everything and if you have a subtitle file, just drag it into the movie

QuickTime Problem. Doesn't play video.avi.

I have updated the system up to the latest - Maverick. After that QuickTime Player doesn't play video.avi. I have tried restarting the app - worthless. Yet, it has been showing 'Converting' for 30 mins. Please, help!

Hello, thank you for your reply. I have several more questions if you don't mind.
1. Does it always take that long to convert a file (more than 30 mins)? It seems that it doesn't work. It stops at the beginning and than nothing changes.
2. Since when QuickTime needs convertation for avi? I thought this is a standart format.
3. How can I use QuickTime 7?
Here is what I see during 30 mins.
Thank you beforehand!

Safari doesn't play some quicktime movie/animation

Hi there ..
I have a problem with Safari:
It doesn't play some on screen little quicktime windows used for advertising or .. showing little animation.
Like www.luxology.com (they have a little quicktime playing)
But if I put the mouse over such little windows and rotate the mouse wheel they play.
But they don't play automatically, only by rotating the mouse.
I don't know if it happened after I used Webkit or after Quicktime 7.1
Any Help?

That site uses Flash (.swf) and not all Flash files can be viewed using QuickTime.
I don't know if there is a Universal version of the Flash Player available but it is what you should be using for features like Flash in a browser.
