No Quicktime player controls in web browser plugins

When using the Quicktime plugin under Firefox or Internet Explorer I do not get any player controls (play/pause, progress, volume etc). All that displays is a black bar where the control bar should be.
I am running the latest version of Quicktime player (downloaded it yesterday). I am using Firefox 3 RC2 and Internet Explorer 7.
Please advise how I can get the player controls to work, because as you can imagine, its pretty hard to play videos/sounds without them.

I have seen similar problems on latest QuickTime v7.5.5 on Vista SP1 64bit platform... when viewing Lynda.com training videos under IE v7 and Firefox v3.02/v3.03. Specifically, the controls are not visible and/or do not work properly (eg reset to start when click on mid-point of timeline) and other times the video blanks out in windowed of full-screen mode with no suspend or power issues... and I am forced to restart QuickTime for video to re-display. The video controls in windowed mode also sometimes do not work.
I found the solution was to change the ADVANCED settings of the QUICKTIME player...
Open Quicktime 7 player... but do not open any content.
Click on Edit tab and go to Preferences, then click on Quicktime Preference.
On window that opens, click on the Advanced tab
You will see a selection under VIDEO heading for Safe Mode (GDI only) or Direct X.... click on Safe mode (GDI only)
Then click on Apply, then OK.
Restart Quicktime and play a movie to test it.
For me, this resolved all my problems... even though had latest DirectX installed. I hope this helps in your case!

Show quicktime player controls in Keynote for iOS?

I am trying to build an interactive iPad presentation in Keynote, which is essentially a wrapper for hundreds of training videos. On the mac, you can pause and scrub through a video housed within a Keynote presentation but I do not see that option on iOS. Can anybody confirm this, or does somebody know a way to enable quicktime player controls on a video playing in Keynote?
Thanks!
Brian

FOUND THE SOLUTION:
I had this same problem and this resolved it for me:
-Go to your "Settings" icon and click on the "General" tab.
-About 2/3 way down the page you will see "Use side switch to:" - make sure "mute" is checked rather than "lock rotation."
-Then make sure the side switch, located next to the volume toggle switch on the side of your ipad, is moved to the right (no red dot showing).
My audio worked fine in embedded videos after I did those two things. Hope it works for you.

How can I stop Quicktime movies opening my web browser?

Sorry if this has allready been brought up but I spent an hour searched the forums for an answer (And longer on google).
My issue is that certain unsavory people seem to be exploiting an ability of quicktime to launch the default web browser and goto a page they designate. This unfortunately mean often I will download a movie (Named something it isn't typicly), run it and suddenly have 10 internet explorer windows pop up opening assorted **** sites, sites demanding spyware and malware installations and on at least one occasion site containing scripts to automaticly install a virus on loading.
I'd like to how I can prevent this from happening short fo outright not using quicktime. Is there an option to disable a movies ability to link to web pages or a feature to block their attemtps to do so?
Thanks.

No. I don't have any viruses or spyware and I havn't been hijacked either. Look a little background on me, I work in tech support dealing with such issues for a living. Regardless I've had this happen on brand new computers I've set up and for the sake of been thorough in eliminating that idea as a possibility I followed every step and recommendation your links gave me and they turned up nothing.
The problem is a function of certain .mov files which basically activate an imbeded hyperlink within the file, opening the default browser and loading whatever site the link lead to. If I could find a tame one that didn't send you to pornographic sites etc. I'd be happy to host it for you to test out yourself but frankly the only .mov files I've seen that do it are usually **** films themselves named something else (For instance one was named SydneyOlympics2004Opening) with the intention of luring unsuspecting victims into downloading them and running them in quicktime forcing them to load all these malicious pages. It's fine for me on my home network where the security settings are setup so hazardous sites can't actually do anything and the addition of pornographic images to my temporary internet folder has no concequences but at work that could get you fired and heavily fined in goverment employment.
On a side note how another program could respond to a .mov file playing in quicktime opening web pages specific to that file and at set points in the movies timeline is beyond me. It would have to be a plugin for quicktime.

Where is documentation about Adobe Reader web-browser plugin API?

When Adobe Reader is chosen as plugin to open PDF's inside a web-browser it reacts to some javascript commands in the web page that hosts the <object> tag like "goToPage" or similar. I would like to know which other javascript commands (and events: something like "onPageChanged", for example) are available. Where can I find documentation?
Thanks

Microsoft hasn't updated its Windows Media Player plugin for Firefox for a while, so 3-year-old documentation may be current. I recommend using MSDN as a resource, and particularly articles indicating which features work in Firefox.
You also can work out development issues on a forum more focused on that, the unofficial [http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=25 mozillaZine Web Development board]. It's a separate site (with separate registration).

I need the quicktime plugin, but everytime I want to install it, the whole quicktime player is downloaded without the plugin.

quicktime plugin from aplle can only be installed with the whole quick time player.
I download it but nothing happenes, videos still cannot be streamed in firefox.
I tried to install the plugin manually out of the quicktime file, but it seemes as though the plugin was not downloaded with the player.
Did I do everything right? what is going wrong?

I see that I have the QT plugin 7.6.6 in my 'installed plugins' list. I was wondering if this was a carry over from previous versions of the OS and perhaps this is screwing everything up.
No. Mac OS X 10.6 includes QuickTime versions 10.0 and 7.6.3. The QuickTime 7 player will only be present if a QuickTime Pro key was present at the time of installation, or if specified as part of a custom install, or individually downloaded:
http://support.apple.com/kb/dl923
Snow Leopard update 10.6.4 included an update to 7.6.6 (if installed). You can install it from the above link even though it says for 10.6.3. It's the same version of QuickTime Player 7.6.6.
(Only QuickTime Player 7.6.3 or 7.6.6 can be updated to "Pro".)
The page loads fine for me, but it takes a ittle while before it does so after the Quicktime icon shows.

Open Flash Player instead of Web browser

Is it possible to set flash builder to open the built swf with flash player instead of the web browser?

if you go into your project properties, you select run/debug settings in the left pane, on the right pane select the project and then go to edit.
from there you can set the launch path,
it would be something like
http://localhost/MyProj-debug/MyProj.html for browser
or
c:\MyWorkSpace\MyProj\bin-debug\MyProj.swf to launch in flashplayer

Web Browser Plugin

I have an applet that uses Swing, but when I try to run it on my web browser, I get a ClassNotFoundException
for JTextField.
What should I do about that?

Did you install JRE? You may need Java plug-in.

New Quicktime X controls for web

I'm trying to make my embedded quicktime videos use the latest quicktime X controls.
Example: http://www.apple.com/ipad/
If you watch the 2nd video you'll see the controls fade in and out when you roll over the movie and use the latest version of quicktime. Instead of the old version which has the bar at the bottom at all times.
How do I get that look?

Very complex javascript code does the fancy voodoo.
Open the link (above) with Safari and then open the Activity Window to view all of the page elements.
You'll find at least 4 different javascript files that build the special controller.

JMF web browser plugin

Hi everybody,
This question is about JMF and applet, but i dont want to post in other sub-forums because its not likely to get any reply there.
Ok, so i have Java plugin installed for my browser, and JMF as well. Running the test at
http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jmf/2.1.1/jmfdiagnostics.html
show that everything is alright (JMF Version ... 2.1.1e; All Java Build; and Native Libraries Found).
I have created an applet implementing in JMF. But when ever the applet being loaded, it also sends a request for the file RTPSessionMgr.class (which is in jmf.jar) and the server throws exception.
The applet shouldn't be asking for that file, should it ? So what's going wrong here ?
I've also been thinking of making the server to send both jmf.jar and the requested applet; but haven't tried; because the jmf.jar file is not very small (about 1.7Mb)
Please help me.
Many thanks.

Basic design feature of applets: if the applet needs to load other classes, it has to load them from the server. You do not install them on every single client the applet is run on, you just put them on the server and set the "archive" attribute of the <applet> tag to refer to those jar files.
The size of the jar files has nothing to do with this design feature. If they are large then they will take a while to load. That's just the way it is.
I don't do applets but I am sure this basic question would have been answered in the Applets forum.

Quicktime Player controls -- able to move outside of window?

Hi, when playing quicktime movies in the regular sized window in which they pop up (not full screen, etc) is it possible to move the control display (for play, reverse, etc) outside of the window?
thanks

You can move it around but can't move it off the window.

How do I install Flash Player for Iceweasel web browser on Debian Linux?

How do I specify the path to the Iceweasel installation
directory?
Thanks/
Läben.

The simplest way to install the flash player on Debian GNU/Linux is to install the flashplugin-nonfree package from the contrib external repository.
Make sure the contrib repository is enabled in /etc/apt/sources.list or /etc/apt/sources.list.d/, and then do:
sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
If you want to check for flashplayer updates, do:
sudo update-flashplugin-nonfree --install
Note that this is proprietary software, and is not part of Debian itself.
For more info, see the debian wiki

Hand tool in web browser Adobe Reader plugin

Thanks

Hey Yury_Vitovsky,
Google has moved out of NPAPI plugin support not Adobe, so Google Chromium team will be able to provide you a better answer for it. And yes it will be working fine with other web browsers like IE, Firefox etc.

Programatically pushing toolbar button in web browser

Hi all, I've got a tool going via a c++ plugin. Pushing the tool button and using it works well in Acrobat, including inside an internet explorer browser window acrobat plugin.
What i'm trying to do now is activate the tool programatically by sending a command over DDE from another application. The call i'm using is: AVAppSetActiveTool , which is the call that gets used when you push the button manually.
This works when running in a standalone Acrobat, but the AVAppSetActiveTool seems to have no effect when the document is loaded in a web browser.
I'm wondering what to do to get this working?? i've tried making the browser AVWindow a 'key' window as well as bringing it to the front with no avail.
Is there some magic I need to do before I call AVAppSetActiveTool programatically that will allow it to work inside the web browser plugin.
many thanks,
zoltan

interesting situation.
As far as I know, there is no way to force a specific tool to be active when running in an external window (such as the browser).

Test whether doc is opened in Reader or browser plugin

Hi,
is there a way to test programmatically whether the current document is opened in the full Reader application or in the web-browser plugin?
Alexander

I can answer myself, it is the doc.external property.

Using standalone browser plugins in extension

I want to know if is it possible to use standalone Web Browser Plugins(like Google Earth, Adobe Reader or some I created) in Extension ?
Asking this weird question because, I must use Win .dll s and searched about applet and knew that it won't help me.(source http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/deployment/applet/security.html)
Another solution to do this is possible on browsers by creating own plugin. Google kicks-off NPAPI based plugins from chrome after this September and they created PPAPI structure. This may be a solution for me
to use win dlls but I don't know its useful in extension structure ?
Or if someone have any idea to this issue ?

If you use a symlink to link to the libnpjp2.so files then you might be able to include the Java version in the file name and have two links (libnpjp2-7u25.so and libnpjp2-7u55.so).
Note that you can also create a plugins folder in the current Firefox profile folder or in the ~/.mozilla folder (~/.mozilla/plugins)
