QuickTime plugin failures

Well I upgraded to 10.6 last week and discovered that I needed to upgrade to photoshop cs4 from cs. No problem, as it was about time. Did that and was confronted by all the changes that I was unaware of in Photoshop.
Well Adobe had a 30 day promotion to Lynda.com and I signed up for there video classes. Still no problem. Well I started to watch the QuickTime Videos in Safari, when I discovered a problem. When I would finish one video, and select the next to watch, sometimes Safari would load the blue QT logo and then hang. Nothing would fix it (logging off, reselecting video, restarting Safari...) so I had to restart the MBP. Now this is happening more and more frequently. Suggestions?.

Well this doesn't answer your question, but i'm having the same issues with Quicktime. Used to play, but now they are not playing.
This is stupid. I didn't need a new quicktime and now with quicktime x there is really nothing but problems.
I see this has gone unanswered for a month, so i guess no-one has found a fix yet.

Quicktime plugin for screen capture does not work in flash player 11.2

Hello,
I have created a quicktime plugin (it is .component file) for screen sharing purpose.
I have used quicktime framework for that. plugin is detected in flash player.
This plugin is working perfectly for flash player 11 and below.But,
It does not working in latest flash player 11.2.
I have seen following error on console -
Google Chrome Helper EH[240:e92b] *** QTCaptureSession warning:
Session received the following error while decompressing video:
Error Domain=NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code=-8974
"The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error -8974.)".
Make sure that the formats of all video outputs are properly configured
Note - Compression format used in plugin is kBMPCodecType.
Please, help me.

The issue ended up being the change in resolution to my external monitor. Flash was unable to detect the proper coordinates of the color I was trying to select because I was running my monitor in HD mode rather than selecting an actual resolution from my monitor preferences. Changing the settings to an acutal resolution, instead of generic "HD mode" fixed the issue.

QuickTime Plugins have problems on Windows 7 (64-bit)

Uninstalling/reinstalling QuickTime did not fix the problem. Still get a script error and no QuickTime ActiveX plugin installed when accessing a web page with the embedded player on Windows 7 Pro 64-bit with Internet Explorer 8 (64-bit).
I did more experiments and found the following: Windows 7 Pro 64-bit comes with two versions of Internet Explorer 8; one is 32-bit and the other is 64-bit. The 32-bit version of Internet Explorer will install the QuickTime ActiveX plugin and load a video; however, the Controller bar at the bottom of the player is just pure black--you can't see the controls. If you click on the right place, it will play the video, but you can't see the control your clicking on. This exact same behavior also occurs in Firefox 32-bit, Chrome 32-bit and Safari 32-bit when running on Window 7 Pro 64-bit: they all exhibit the same problem with their respective QuickTime plugins.
So, there appears to be *two issues*: 1) The QuickTime plugins run impaired in 32-bit browsers running on Window 7 (64-bit); and, 2) The QuickTime ActiveX plugin is incompatible with, and will not install in, the 64-bit Internet Explorer 8 browser running on Windows 7 (64-bit).
If anyone at Apple is paying attention--Please fix this and issue an update to include plugins that work in both 32-bit and 64-bit browsers when running on Windows 7 (64-bit). Thank you.

Apple engineers generally don't read these forums. The best way to get information to them is to use the feedback page:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/feedback
or open a Developer account (the "Online" program is free) and use Apple's Bug Reporter (this is usually the best way for an issue like this but you may not want to open a Developer account just for this purpose).

How can I make my Quicktime plugin work again?

Before installing the Firefox v3.6, my quicktime plugin was working. After I installed v3.6, the quicktime plugin didn't work. I tried to uninstall v3.6 and installed back v3.5, but the quicktime plugin is still not working. How can I make it work again or how to fix this? Thanks.
Is there a way to undo the installation of Firefox v3.6, meaning to remove any traces of Firefox 3.6 installation, because this problem only came after I installed Firefox 3.6.
I'm able to play streaming videos from websites (e.g. http://www.singingsuccess.tv/videos/?vid=251) BEFORE I installed v3.6. AFTER installing v3.6, the streaming video now shows a blue Q with a question mark in the center. I tried to uninstall that version and install back v3.5, but the problem still exist.
Thank you and hoping for your prompt reply. More power.

You actually have to update the entire QuickTime application to get a new version of the QuickTime plugin that Firefox uses.
I don't know what you mean by a licensed version of QuickTime. Do you have QuickTime Pro (paid version) or the free version?
If you are updating the free version, just download it from http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/ and then install it on top of your current version (no need to uninstall it first).
If you are updating QuickTime Pro, I copied this from http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12301362&#12301362
'''Re: need new install of quicktime pro Posted: Sep 19, 2010 5:28 PM'''
'''Download a free version of Quicktime. Open it and choose Edit. Scroll down to Preferences and choose Register. Once you enter your Registration Key, it will automatically update your version to QuickTime Pro (this is what I just did on my PC).'''
You could also post a new question in the [http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=943 QuickTime for Windows] forum at discussions.apple.com

I have just upgraded to OSX 10.6.8 and now I cannot open or save PDF files from the internet. I get a dialogue box saying the QuickTime plugin has failed. I have tried to download the latest plugin but this doesn't work. Can anyone help?

I have just upgraded to OSX 10.6.8 and now I cannot open or save PDF files from the internet using either Safari or Firefox. I get a dialogue box saying the QuickTime plugin has failed. Can anyone help?

Is this what you downloaded: iTunes 10.7?
When the update fails what if any error report do you get, specifically? Please do this before trying again:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

Colour background for quicktime plugin and favicons

Hi, a trivial query. I have seen some sites where the background colour for the quicktime plugin player is black not white. On my proto site http://www.goldenumber.co.uk/beermatts_trumpet_pages/ if you click on the midi files the player has a white background which I would prefer to be black. Do I need to edit the midi file itself? Any suggestions gratefully received.
Secondly, when I access the midi files or the pdfs I lose my favicon image in the address bar. Is there a way around this?
Regards, Matt.

I still see a white background when I click on a MIDI file link.
Unless you place the MIDI file in a web page (such as with EMBED SRC), you cannot control how the MIDI player plugin will display in the browser. Look at the zianet.com page linked above for an example. The directory web page is black (with text and graphics) and plays 'Hold on to the Night' in the background because it is embedded in the HTML.
If you want to control the appearance, you need to create a new HTML page for each MIDI file.
Example:
Create a new file called '
The_Fields_of_Athenry.html' and use the following example HTML...
<html><head>
<title>The Fields of Athenry</title></head>
<body bgcolor="black">
<EMBED SRC="http://www.goldenumber.co.uk/beermatts_trumpet_pages/midis/The_Fields_of_Athenry.mid " AUTOSTART="true" HIDDEN="false" Width="145" Height="24">
</body>
</html>
Link to this HTML file instead of the MIDI file.

The quicktime plugin doesn't play mp3 in Firefox

I've got a webpage with <a href="audiofile.mp3" target="a_frame">link text</a>. This page is part of a website that I'm webmaster on.
Clicking on the link always plays the audio in Safari but is inconsistent in Firefox in my iMac (OSX 10.6.8). Sometimes the file plays but mostly the click gets ignored. I'm using Firefox 5.0.1 and the Quicktime plugin is 7.6.6.
I've tried this page on PC based browsers. Chrome works every time. IE mostly works but sometimes the audio plays but the player controls aren't displayed. Firefox is inconsistent.
I've tried disabling other plugins. Any ideas?

Your "direct link" code doesn't give any instructions to any browser plug-in. Without instructions each different page visitor will get different behavior. Some visitors settings would download the file and others would play the file using a different browser plug-in (Real Player or WMP for example).

Quicktime Plugin Issue in Safari on Mac OSX Lion.

(Strange) Safari - Quicktime - issue on Mac OSX Lion (All Updates done - 20/11/2011)
Strange issue with Safari - Quicktime video playing - on Mac OSX Lion (All updates done till 20th Nov 2011 night)
Problem discovery: Tried to view the Apple iPhone 4S Keynote on Apple Website. Strange that Safari does not display any videos from Apple Website.
Following works OK:- You Tube worked fine.
- Google Chrome worked fine. (It shows the quick time player loading and then displays the video absolutely fine.)
Conclusion: There is some problem with Safari Quicktime Plug-in.
Strange Discovery:
- There are two users on the MAC. Logged in with a general user (Non Admin)
- When tried to view Apple Videos on Safary ... THEY WORKED FINE !!!
- The user where they donot work is an ADMIN User ... Strange !!!
System:
- Mac-Mini 2010 - 8 GB RAM - with OSX Lion fully software updated until 20th Nov 2011 night.
- DIVX is installed and is also a paid version - registered with DIVX website.
- VLC is installed.
- Perian was installed - after problem discovery - uninstalled it - no use.
Please help with a solution if anyone has faced and solved this problem. Sub question is : If DIVX / anyother plug-in causes problems with QuickTime plugin on Safari, why does it affect only one user on the system and not other users on that system ?
Notes:
1) There is a similar looking thread on MacRumors here but concluded that required to start a seperate one with clear problem statement.
2) Apple Forums
(a) One thread on topic that hints that some 3IVX plug-in can cause issues with Safari Quicktime Plugin: here
(b) Another thread from Apple Forum, that hints that DIVX causes problems to Safari Quicktime Plug in, Link is Here

Refer to a thread on Apple Discussions Forum itself, Link is HERE; refer to the posting by "Charles Cole",
Charles Cole
Re: Does anyone recommend OS X Lion?
Aug 2, 2011 8:09 PM (in response to Landrix)
Charles writes about DIVX and QuickTime Plugin conflict in Safari:
One thing I've discovered that might help anyone having a Quicktime Plug-in issue. If you have DivX as a codec on your system (usually installed to play .avi files) you'll want to uninstall it so that Sarfari 5.1 will default to the Quicktime Plug-In and not the DivX plug-in. Otherwise, you can't see Quicktime movies in Safari.
Note: this post is about and at the time of OSX Lions launch, i.e. 10.7.0.
Now we have 10.7.2, still cannot believe Apple has not fixed this bug !!!

What do I lose by removing "Quicktime Plugin.plugin"?

After upgrading to Leopard (Erase and install, then migrate data from a backup off an external HD), all the flash videos and ads had the Quicktime icon with a question mark on it. After searching through Apple discussions and google, I found a site that suggested removing "Quicktime Plugin.plugin" from the library folder. It seemed like a strange fix but I did it anyway since I already went into Quicktime prefs and unchecked "Enable Flash." I also reinstalled Adobe flash player for Safari- both with no luck.
So what will I be losing by removing this plugin? I'm assuming its a necessary plugin.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi

Very necessary. In answer to your question, have a look at this thread, especially QuickTimeKirk's post.
Have you checked your System Preferences>Quicktime>Advanced>Mime Settings panel? In the Miscellaneous panel only QuickTime HTML ought to be selected. If the other boxes are selected, then you'll have problems with QT in Safari.
Regarding Flash, if you reinstalled it, then make sure you "repair permissions" via Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.

Quicktime plugin pt_br doesn't works

Hello,
Sorry my poor english. I'm trying the best way/form to explain the problem
Quicktime pt_br version has an error in your translation. The plugin MIME types have been translated! (vídeo/quicktime instead of video/quicktime, for example. or imagem/jpg instead of image/jpg) and won't load on any browser except for Opera (Safari, Firefox... NOT).

That works for me on Safari, but Firefox stills broken.

Hello!
My english is poor too, sorry , but I've got the same problem.
Try to disable your localization on the Safari:
Press right button on Safari icon.
Choose Properties
Choose Localization (or Languages - i don't remember)
Switch off your system language checkbox (Russian in my case).
Start the Safari.
My problem was solved, but i'm waiting for Apple resolving of this problem...
Best wishes, Andrey.

Running Quicktime Plugin for IE as Non-Admin User

I'm trying to run quicktime 7.4 in a student computer lab. All logins are "User" group, non admin accounts. I cannot get the quicktime plugin for IE to work. Any embedded quicktime files on web pages just show the dreaded "Quicktime Question Mark". Also, when I look at the Mime Types in the settings, it is blank. Can someone help me with the permissions to get this running correctly? Thanks!

I'm seeing similar behavior as well.
when I direct click a link to a png (from Outlook for example), that opens up IE7, the quicktime plugin loads. If I'm running IE7 as an administrator or the site is in my trusted sites it loads no problem, although I briefly see the quicktime splash screen before the image loads.
If I'm running as a regular user, the page is blank, and I get a script error saying 'object expected'. Refreshing the page does nothing. However, a hard return in the address bar will display the image.
The only way to fix this was to uncheck png as a mime type handled by the quicktime browser plugin. I shouldn't have to run as administrator to get the plugin to handle directly linked pngs.

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.

Safari 6.0.5 plugin failure x Flash player

Hello,
Two days ago I've opened my Safari 6.0.5 like I do everyday and suddenly I have the plugin Failure problem, I can't watch any vids on youtube or anything. I've been reading solutions for it and I did all the troubleshoot I've found, but no positive result.
I have Chrome and it works fine since it has it's own plugin attached. But I don't want to use chrome since I actually like this version of Safari, but I might change my mind in the end if I dont find a solution for this
> Uninstalled, Reboot, Reinstall. KO (Latest version @adobe.com)
> Unsubscribed from the HTML 5 thing from Youtube (seamed to work for 2 minutes, then next video on youtube. KO)
> Cleared Cahce, reset Safari. KO
Is there anything else I can do ?
I'm running my MAC on
Software OS X 10.8.4
Thanks for the help guys
Alexandre Morey

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Quicktime Plugin for FCP

Hello,
I'm interested in developing a simple Quicktime plugin that'll be used in Final Cut Pro (you can do that, right?). The plugin will Export the FCP timeline in a fixed format to a fixed destination with one click. I would like it to add an option in the File > Export menu, like "Export to Server."
I have poked around the Apple Developer site a little bit, but haven't quite been able to figure out how to do this. Does anybody know? Would you mind giving me a general overview of how to do it, with functions names/links or whatever to get me started?
Thanks in advance,
Jeff

Don't know which plugin you purchased...here's the GenArts tutorial
http://www.mytoolfarm.com/video/final-cut-pro-genarts-sapphire-3
If you're talking about the FCP lens flare generator it's a matter of using Keyframes and Scale in the Motion tab as well as personal tastes in the Control tab
