Quicktime 7.1.5 disables HREF Tracks

I have a javascript/quicktime video/transcript viewer that has been working very reliably with quicktime video files on either disk or web (streaming) for 2 years (you can see it at http://fnsp.arts.ubc.ca/index.php?id=5084. The transcript should automatically update in the lower window). But not after the Quicktime 7.1.5. This is a major problem, as I recently showed a project in the viewer at a major conference and people are likely trying to access it. Why an update that crashes existing implementations?
Anyway, any help resolving this problem would be much appreciated. The HREF Tracks are one of the things that makes Quicktime so excellent -- when they work! PLEASE give them back (or tell me how to upgrade my app).

Judging from the huge response to this thread, not many of you out there have been using HREF tracks with Javascript. But in case you have, here is what appears to be the reason they no longer work. In the 7.1.5 update, security concerns have limited the functionality of HREF tracks loaded from remote servers to only calling URLs, and from local disks to only calling file references. No more javascript calls, it would seem. So much for stability.
Thanks a lot Apple. What's a couple of years work down the tubes, eh? I guess I won't be working in one of your environments again anytime soon. Adios.

How to inactivate HREF tracks in QT movies?

I got a couple of QT movies that contain HREF tracks, so playing them opens websites or start javascripts. This is not only annoying, but I also consider it a security problem. Is there a way to tell Quicktime to GENERALLY ignore the HREF tracks?

Newer versions (7.1.5 and higher) have disabled javascript or HREFTrack that point to anything other than files served via http or rstp.
If you own Pro and they are "local" files you can delete the hidden track(s) using the Movie Properties window.
There is no "universal" setting to disable these tracks.

HREF Track - I can't figure out how to make.

I just need to redirect to another page after a movie plays, so then it will play Part 2 of the movie.
All this developer info is very confusing. Does anyone have any sample HTML code that I can use to embed my movies with a HREF Track?
If it doesn't work in the embedded code, then what are the steps to actually make the track?
Thanks in Advance.

Here a simple tool to make what you want.

General tab is were you put movie 1. Under the playlist tab is were you put movie 2.
Copy the code that is generated and place that into your html...

Why have my Quicktime Pro funcitions been disabled?

Why have my Quicktime Pro funcitions been disabled? I bought the software a few years ago and use it periodically to assemble image sequences.
Now it opens and only has basic funtions and prompts me to buy the software again...
Not sure what has happend here...

Snow Leopard introduced QuickTime X and it doesn't include any Pro features.
QuickTime Player 7.6.6 installs in the Utilities folder. You enter your registation info under its menu.

HT4623 I just lost my iPhone 4, then someone picked it up & disable the tracking feature.

Note I just lost my iPhone 4, then someone picked it up & disable the tracking feature in iCloud.
If that person use this stolen iPhone, can apple store trackiong him & blocked him? or even reset the phone status to default. Serial # of this iPhone is 86107QW6A4T.
Note iPhone is now a very personal item in life, we may drop & lost, or even stolen or by attack to kinapped, strongly request Apple can do something to protect their loyalty customers & their image, no one can stole iPhone, no one can use something which not belong to them, once the device is registrate, only change with by actual owner's authorization whne them sell or gift.
Even your turn off the tracking feature of Find My iPhone, but we still can found by seria # with GPS founction. Is this against the law of privacy?

The phone can no longer be tracked by you if it's not signed into your apple id, not even by Apple. It can't be tracked by the serial number either.
The registration of the device can be changed by the person who has access to the serial number, which I know is unfortunate, but that's how it works.
It's against the law to steal an iPhone, for sure.
If the tracking feature of Find my iPhone is turned off, the device is no longer broadcasting a GPS signal. If someone were to sign into the phone with their apple id, it would then be trackable by them but by no one else
It's against Apple's Privacy Policy to access personal information on the phone unless they explicitly need it for troubleshooting purposes. This is unfortunately not one of those instances.
The best thing you can do is call your local law enforcement and report the phone as stolen

When you converted the original files via MPEG Streamclip, what did you convert them to?
Have you tried trashing your preferences in FCP? Trashing FCP prefs is usually the first step when FCP is performing strangely.

Disable Camera Tracking

Hello
I have a UN60H6350AFX/ZA fitted with a VG-STC4000/ZA and everything works fine, is there a way of disable camera tracking? it follows everything it moves in the room and I would like to disable this feature.
If not possible, is there a place to submit an RFE?
Thanks

Hi Leigh,
We are running into the same issue with needing to only apply external tracking to links going to our websites. We have a lot of clients who we post ads for in our newsletters, and we are wanting to disable external tracking for their links.
Sometimes their sites don't accept foreign query strings which causes the URL to come up with an error page.
We also have clients who use the same standard query strings as we do, and they provide their links with these query strings already applied. When Eloqua then applies our external tracking query strings they overwrite the client's values.
Is there any query string that can be appended to a URL that will tell it to ignore external tracking for that link? Or can you think of any other workarounds? We have tried using redirect links, and are able to get around the main issue, but then when we have to report back to our clients, the links contacts are clicking on are not the URLs they provided. We can replace the redirect URL with the client's URL manually, but we send hundreds of newsletters from all of our different brands, so this manual workaround has become a bit of a nightmare.
If there is nothing out their currently, is their anything in the roadmap that might support this functionality? I read in another post from Jeff Butwell that it is a feature that is being considered (Can you manually override Google Analytics external tracking in an email?). This was over a year ago.
Thanks!

Disable external tracking?

Hello,
Is it possible to disable external tracking on a link-by-link or email-by-email basis? I've run into a few sites that we need to link to which do not cooperate with the appended query string parameters, some which disagree so much that they throw up an error page listing the parameters as unknown instead of displaying the content we intended our audience to see.
The only way to disable this that I have found is through unchecking the box Setup > Email Configuration > [_] External Tracking - but that's an account-wide setting, and this is only required on a case-by-case basis.
Thanks,
Richard

Is it possible to disable the track pad while typing?

Is it possible to disable the track pad while typing?

I don't believe there is a way to do it natively.
However there is an app called BetterTouchTool which enables you to fully customize the trackpad. You could increase the sensitivities so that it doesn't activate while your typing.
Hope this helps.

Quicktime browser plug-in disable?

I don't really know why, but for some reason, I can't keep Quicktime from running through my Mozilla browser and opening within the browser window within Firefox when I download a .mp3 file. This keeps happening even though my Firefox is set to automatically download and open mp3 files in Windows Media Player, and I my quicktime plug-in options has mp3 files deselected. It's quite frustrating; I don't like using the quicktime player, but I need it installed to run iTunes.
All help appreciated, thank you.

Add specific hotkeys for vlc (disable video track without disabling audio track)?

There's no way to add hotkeys for [menu bar > Video > Video Track > Disable] under Preferences or Advanced.
When I use [SysPreferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > Application Shortcuts > '+'] to add a hotkey for "Disable", it applies to audio also [menu bar > Audio > Audio Track > Disable].
How do I disable the video track without going through the menu bar? Can I go into vlc.app and edit it? Or is there an app that will help? Or is there a way to specify which (menu bar>disable) I want to add hotkeys to, in application shortcuts?
I'm actually using 10.8 if that matters.

QuickTime Pro: Audio Settings disabled

I'm trying to add background music to a video in QT, and need to lower the volume so it doesn't drown out the narration. Went into Properties, clicked on "Audio Settings" & none of the options will do anything. Everything's either grayed out or unresponsive. Sliders won't move. Same result with recorded music and a voice track I just recorded, so it isn't limited to a protected, copyrighted song. Am I missing something necessary to do this? Is there any other way to adjust volume in music tracks?

Do you have the Pro version of QuickTime Player?
