QTL files with 10.6

Hi,
It appears we've lost functionality for QTL files to work with the QuickTime player in 10.6. The OS doesn't like the fact the QTL files were downloaded from the Internet and warns before opening in QT 7, but they won't work in QT X either.
Looks like the Apple site is using a javascript and dummy QT movie to spawn the QuickTime player for HD. Is this the unofficial way to go for now until QT X is feature full?

QuickTime Media Link was introduce in version 5. It's a tiny text based download (a few bytes in size) that can bypass the browser plug-in and open directly in QuickTime Player.
With any file that can be downloaded and then open and run in an application you must be aware of the source and that's the purpose of the OS X "warning".
Apple has now "closed" the direct opening of .qtl files by the QuickTime Player (over security concerns) and they must be double clicked in the Finder.
QuickTime Media Link files offer many features. The file can have "presentation" properties (like full screen) and "quit Player when finished" that can return the Web page visitors back to where they started.
One of mine (very safe):

You can open the .qtl file with any plain text editor to see how simple the syntax is to understand.

  • QuickTime Media Link (qtl) files - update after moving originals?

    How do I update a qtl "reference" movie after moving the originals so it points to the new location of the original files? This is all on my local machine.

    You can edit .qtl files with any plain text editor.
    Right click (Control click) on the .qtl file and choose Text Edit as the open with application.
    Take a look at the simple code and you'll see the structure.

  • How do I run a preroll in a webradio .qtl file?

    Anybody know how to run an .mp3 preroll in a webradio .qtl file? Here's the file:

    You will have better luck if you find a Flash Player that uses a playlist.  Direct links to FLV files don't work.

    Another option is to upload your videos to YouTube.com. You can customize a YouTube player and populate it with videos you specify.  Then paste their player embed code into your web page.

  • Problem opening .qtl files

    I've been unable to open .qtl files, such as the movie trailers posted by Yahoo. A recent example is the new Incredible Hulk trailer starring Edward Norton. When I try to open the .qtl file for this trailer on my G5 at work, there is no problem, but when I try to open the same exact file on my Intel iMac at home, I get the following:
    *The movie could not be opened.*
    The file is not a movie file.
    I understand that .qtl files are just links to the actual file. Could it be some kind of network setting that is getting in the way? Can anyone help me?
    Thanks!!

    I get the same warning when trying to download Yahoo HD movie trailers. It stopped downloading and I got the message. But, when I go back to the 'downloaded' Quicktime file in my download queue I can open it and it starts downloading the HD trailer. Small hiccup, but works with patience.

  • Converting movie.qtl file to mp3 file

    I downloaded a movie.qtl file from Paul Harvey daily radio show (www.paulharvey.com.) and would like to import it to my iPod. How do I convert it to a file iTunes will import?

    I used Streamclip and tried to convert the "thursdaypm.qtl" downloaded from PaulHarvey.com website. When I imported the file, I had to change the file recognition to "All Files" before I could see it on my desktop. I opened it, but gave me a "File open error: unsupported file type" message. I clicked on "Open Anyway" button. From there I clicked to export and get an "Error: no movie frame" notice. Nothing is exported. Maybe the problem is with how PH website in setting up it's download. Thanks for your help!

  • Since upgrade Quicktime won't play ".qtl" files

    I got the notice a few months ago that I needed to upgrade Quicktime, so I did and am now running it at 7.1.6. However, since the upgrade, I can't play any of Quicktime's HD trailers or any movie files ending in ".qtl". ".mov", ".mp4" and others work fine, just not ".qtl". Also, every time I try to play a trailer from Apple's QT Trailer page, the page just uploads with "?" over the QT icon. Whether I'm trying to play a HD trailer or not, the result is the same. Any ideas?

    The Yahoo pages make for lousy viewing. The SD files have been converted to Flash Video (.flv) and the HD versions use the QuickTime Media Link format.
    I tested the Silver Surfer pages and had mixed results. The "exclusive" version .qtl file worked (after closing the first window opened and a double click on the downloaded .qtl file). The "Theatrical Trailer" HD versions failed to load any content.
    The .qtl files are just simple text files (XML) and you can view them in any text editor to extract the "real" URL to the media. Copy all of the text in the quote marks and you'll get a URL that looks like this:
    http://playlist.yahoo.com/makeplaylist.dll?sid=37986432&embedded=yes&t=mov&br=27 00&s=0&start=0&end=&afr=0&nodeid=2964002&d=35&tz=&pg=NTYzMDg4MDQ1NDY2YzkwMG&auth id=&sl=35&so=%252FYahoo%252FMovies%252FClips%252FFantastic%2BFour%2BRise%2BOf%2B The%2BSilver%2BSurfer%252Fwheelsequence%2528HD%2529&tcode=&sdm=web&pt=rd
    Sorry for the huge URL. Blame it on Yahoo. (Copy do not click all of the text above)
    Paste that in the Open URL feature of QuickTime Player and wait for the file to download.

    How recently did you switch?  If it's less than 60 days, then Verizon simply reinstates your previous account.  The fact that you were on the EDGE plan and mailed the devices back, and they apparently are somewhere in the system, could cause complications, and it might just work out that you just go back on the same plan and they set you up with the same devices.  I'm not sure how it will go - but since you are still being billed for the devices... 

  • I can no longer access a password protected Numbers file with the correct password. Error message only says the file "cannot be opened."

  • MY system folder, including hidden folders are littered with duplicate folders and files with the suffix (from old Mac) How do I remove them

    I have a Macbook Pro running Leopard 10.5.8. I had a problem with my my operating system (my fault, I moved a file I shoudnt have) couldnt boot up but was able to boot up from a backup. I managed to repair my original system except now all the system folders, including hidden folders are littered with duplicate folders and files with the suffix (from old Mac).  For the most part the dupes are an exact copy, but not always.  I want to remove them to free up space and cant imagine duplicate folders in the /system/library are not hindering my computer. But I dont know where to start and am afraid of doing irreparable damage. Any ideas

  • How to send multiple files with it's original name over HTTPS using one CC?

    I am working on a File to HTTPs scenario. It is in production and working fine. Currently we send only one file and I have hard coded the name in the communication channel in the header fields. Now we have to send more files with different names and I want to use only one receiver channel instead of many. We need to send the files with their original names.
    I used the ASMA in the sender File Adapter and I see the FileName in the dynamic configuration under http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File name="FileName".
    I know we can use a UDF in message mapping and get the value and put it in HEADERFIELDONE. But we don't want to use mapping as the files are huge and we don't want to insert XML tags in the payload.
    So how do I put the Filename from the DynamicConfiguration to the HTTP header field as FileName without using mapping? Are there any settings?
    Can I put something in the PROLOG or can I use any other module in the File Sender Adapter or is there any other option?
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks
    Sai

    See my blog:
    /people/stefan.grube/blog/2009/06/19/unknown-use-case-of-dynamicconfigurationbean-store-file-name-to-jms-header-without-mapping
    You have to put the configuration in sender channel, as HTTP adapter does not allow modules.
    For the second module, put values related to HTTP adapter.

  • Archive file with errors in sender file adapter not working! please help!

    Hi Experts,
       I have a file to RFC scenario. the input is a XML file. I have setup the flag in sender file adapter channel for archiving the input files with errors. But it is not working.
    For testing I have used an invalid xML file for example without the main XML tag. I have also tested with a MSWORD file saved with.xml extension. But in both the cases the files are not getting archived.
    My archive location permissions are fine and in fact normal archive operation is happening. That is, if I select the processing mode as "Archive" and gave the Archive directory then files are getting archived. The problem is only with the "Archive faulty source files" option.
    What am I missing? DO I need to do some more configurations?
    What are the prerequisites if any for this option?
    How to test this?
    Please help me! I will be greatfull to you all!
