Quicktime Refuses to Stream

Hi all, i seem to have a problem with my macbook (10.4.11 QT 7.4.1) whereby quicktime point blank refuses to stream from our helix server, it just immediately throws the 'forbidden 403 error'. I have tried everything all day and to avail.
In my same office we have a mac mini and a macbook pro running 10.5.1 and they can stream as usual. I was only creating the server content the previous evening the same as i have done for the past three months and i cannot workout what has gone wrong. The only way i can get the files to play is through VLC. Either by clicking the .mov reference file or by pasting the rtsp url straight in to the player. Any attempt to this in Qt throws the error.
A real mystery?

"I have tried everything"
Need to know what troubleshooting efforts you have tried so that the knowledgeable users here can avoid the +"been there, done that"+ scenarios.
Thank you.

Up-grade to QuickTime refuses to play SDP files

I have a problem …… as the up-grade to QuickTime refuses to play SDP files, I need the machines to load our IPTV stream with QuickTime Player 7. The Apple Script I have will get they file from the streaming server and open QT7 but only displays the player window once! The next time you hit the button you get sound but no window for the video - please help
The Script:-
tell application "QuickTime Player 7" to getURL "rtsp://???.???.??.??/!!v.sdp"
tell application "QuickTime Player 7" to start “!!v.sdp"

Hi,
The only thing I can think of suggesting is to download the Full Feature installer on the link below and save it to your Desktop.
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software11/COL29976/al-74809-1/DJ_AIO_NonNet_Full_Win_WW_130_140.exe
When the download has completed, right click the installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. Do not connect the PC to the printer until the software asks you to.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes,
DP-K

ITunes + Quicktime refuses to let my Vista run mfpmp.exe with WMP

After I upgraded my iTunes + Quicktime, I can no longer play like half of my mp3s in Windows Media Player (11.0.6001.7008). Like half of my mp3s in WMP have the x inside red circle error next to the mp3 name & when I click on it, it says ""Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file."
Opening the Web Help link it goes to: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/webhelp/default.aspx?&mpver =11.0.6001.7008&id=C00D1199&contextid=83&originalid=80040218 which says the original error code was: " Technical Details = This error might have been triggered by an error in another program or component of Windows. The following information describes the original error. Original Error Code 80040218 Original Error Message No combination of filters could be found to render the stream."
I know the files are not corrupt because they play fine on my Compaq computer which has the same exact music files, only difference is the WMP version on my Compaq computer is like 11.0.8 I think.
I already tried the Basic & Full versions of K-lite Codec package & my WMP still only plays about half of my library.
I uninstalled everything Apple related on my Vaio. Then tried to play my unplayable mp3s, & they all play with no errors! I reinstalled iTunes & Quicktime & the whole Apple package thing on their site, & WMP refuses to play like half my mp3 library again =(
Something about iTunes, Bonjour, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Apple Application Support, or Quicktime makes Windows Media Player not play right or utilize codecs right even though I have WMP as the default player. Only when I uninstall everything Apple related, then WMP plays correctly again.
I noticed that when I have nothing Apple related installed, then when WMP plays the affected mp3s, the application Media Foundation Protected Pipeline EXE runs from the C:\Windows\System32 folder. But when I have anything Apple installed, then WMP refuses to run that Media Foundation Protected Pipeline EXE (mfpmp.exe)!!!!! Is there a fix to this?? Something within the Apple files is preventing mfpmp.exe to run which results in the codec error.

Your problem is likely to be with Vista / WMP not so much Apple's iTunes/QuickTime...
1. When you install iTunes (or any other media player for that matter) it will associate the .mp3 mime type to play in that media player. (Why would you want to use WiMP instead of iTunes anyway?)
2. I'm guessing WMP can't launch the executable for some reason if the mime type is not set in Windows for WMP to handle the file type (it should not be dependent on this, but dependencies run deep in Windows, hence the many headaches for users).
3. You should be able to set the mime type for .mp3 files to be associated with WMP in the preferences/properties of either WMP or QuickTime.
4. This article may help: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/288102
5. iTunes should still be able to play .mp3 files even if you associate the .mp3 mime type with WMP, cause it rightly doesn't care about the dependency, although it just won't find the .mp3 files automatically - you'll have to manually add the .mp3 files to your iTunes library if you've associated them with WMP.
6. Upgrade to Win7 or better yet, switch to MacOS and you won't have the problem to begin with.

Quicktime Export - Keynote, Streaming, and Movie Controller Settings

A few questions regarding qt export from keynote -
Is there a way to save quicktime export settings in keynote? Right now I'm exporting multiple files to custom sizes, and have to manually enter the size every time.
I'm exporting for streaming as well, and have to select it in the qt settings window every time.
also, is there a way to choose to show the movie controller when exporting a movie? Now I have to open the movie after export in qt pro and choose window>movie properties>presenation>movie controller type>movie controller (it defaults to none when exporting from keynote).
also, oddly enough, is seems that saving the movie after choosing to show the movie controller removes the streaming setting (movies wait to load completely before playing).
Thanks!

No answer to the main question...but the final question--
When you edit a QuickTime movie, even if the edit is merely to change the settings on the controller, it breaks fast-start. You should be able to fix it by doing a "Save As..." instead of saving the movie in place. But that doesn't seem to work in all versions of QuickTime; I have noticed that certain versions of QT-7 seem to break fast-start altogether.
There is an app out there called "Lillipot" that will fix this for you. Drag your movie to Lillipot, it does whatever magical conversion is necessary to make fast-start work again.

Quicktime & Flip4Mac video streaming

Hi,
I've been streaming the tour de france live on versus. I watched both stages last weekend but then updated to quicktime player 7.2 during the week.
Now when I go to open the stream from: http://www.myp2p.eu/Other.htm
it opens quicktime (and I have the latest version of flip4mac) and it just gives me a spinning colour wheel. When I go to force quit the application it tells me the app isn't responding...
Anyone have any ideas? this is doing my head in!

Tried it on another machine (PC) and it turns out the stream is down...wooops

Quicktime refuses to open WMV files

Hi,
As title, really. It just refuses, whatever I try. I have 'Flip4Mac' installed, and have tried unticking the box 'open sequences with QuickTime', but ticked or unticked, no way does a WMV wanna open. The error is simply a dialogue box with 'Error Opening the Sequence', and below it, 'Impossible to Open the Sequence'.
This error is encountered, irrespective of the file that I try to open.

Use the Movie Info window of QuickTime Player to view
the codecs used.
A Google search using codec name +Mac should help you
find what you need.
Do you mean "APPLE-I" when the film is playing? No mention of codecs in there. I have, in order ...
source: the name of the film
format: 320 x 240 millions 8-bit, unsigned, mono, 22,050 KHz
IPS: 15
IPS read: (available during playback)
size: 19.75 MB
speed: 434.90 kbits/s
position: 00:00:00.10/15
length: 00:06:20.1/15
size 100: 320 x 240 pixels
actual size: 320 x 240 pixels (100%)
Some of those fields, I had to translate from French, so they might not be what you have on English/American versions of Quicktime.

Quicktime Opening My Streams

I'm sooo about to uninstall itunes and quicktime. I've changed the options for the quicktime and it's still opening the mp3 links in my browser with quicktime streaming it. Can some one please help me?

I had to go through the plugins folder in Opera and delete them manually. I'd suggest Apple come up with a better solotion like beable to set this kind of stuff before you finish installing.

Export from Quicktime as DV Stream to FCP: Always requries audio rendering.

Hello,
I am trying to export some mp4 files to DV Stream so that I can import it into FCP. I want to do this without having to render in FCP.
When I export at DV Stream NTSC 48.0 Khz, I don't have to render the video but the audio always needs to be rendered. This is very strange because my audio sequence in 48.0 khz. I'm totally bewildered.
Thanks.

I am using quicktime player to export out. Are there specific export settings to use?
It looks like when export at quicktime, H.264, it compresses it. Then when I import into FCP, I have to render the video when I do my subtitling over the video... is there any way to avoid this?

QuickTime will not stream the resent iPod keynote

QuickTime on my iMac will not stream Steves latest Keynote. However on my PC there's no problem at all...
When I try to stream in Safari QT opens in a new window but all it does is running back and forth on its blue line while it says connecting...
What really bugs me is that this is working fine on my PC...

Changing the settings and then restarting QT didn't do it. After I thought I might as well try to restart the whole thing (boot), and with the new settings that did the trick (HTTP). Thanks a lot!

PE7 and Exporting Quicktime Files for Streaming

PE4 saves Quicktime (H.264) files with the header at the end, so trying to stream them as they download in a Flash player doesn't work (the entire file must download before it will play).
Has anyone with PE7 had any luck streaming Quicktime files? I wish there was a way for me to ask an Adobe developer if they addressed this in PE7.

You can definitely export chapter markers to a QuickTime movie. Whoever is playing it back needs QT Player 7.1 (I think) to be able to use chapters though.
Make sure you select Chapter Markers in the FCP export dialog instead of All Markers. I have never tried it with a streaming file but go ahead, be a pioneer and tell us how it works out.

Quicktime refuses to release file type and icon associations

Has anyone else had this problem and how do I fix it?
Changing the preferences doesn't fix it. File type associations in windows doesn't fix it. Help?!

Ok, I kept getting nagged to upgrade QuickTime. So I did. Now QuickTime 7.4.1 has hijacked ALL my Windows image file associations, and won't give any of them back, no matter how many times I change QT’s settings. Why does QT even have a picture viewer? Who would use it? Or pay for it, as QT constantly nags you to do? Windows already has picture viewers, and there are thousands more free ones on the Internet. And why does Apple think that QuickTime is better equipped to handle my PhotoShop files, rather than my PhotoShop software?
I'm really peeved! If I uninstall QuickTime, my web browsers generate errors. But if I don't uninstall, I can't use my other programs! So at this point, the product borders on being MALWARE. Why would Apple do this??? Will the next QT version also include MS Office, email, database, and text file association-hogging viewers too, so that my pain is complete?

Quicktime Movies not streaming with iWeb

Maybe I'm doing something wrong.
When I created a movie using the Homepage feature in iLife05 the QT time movie starts playing immediately while it is downloading. See here:
http://homepage.mac.com/scarbrd/iMovieTheater17.html
I used iMovie in iLife06 and created a page for iWeb. This one does not stream like the older one. It downloads the entire movie beofre it starts playing.
http://web.mac.com/scarbrd/iWeb/Scarbroughs/Y%202%20K.html
Both of these movies are in the same .mac account.
In iMovie06, I used the "Share" feature and choose iWeb.
Am I doing something wrong? Any help is appreciated.

The "streaming" feature refers to movies that are going to be broadcast from a QT Streaming Server. If you are hosting on .Mac you are not using a Streaming Server. What you want is progressive download where it mimics streaming, but it is actually allowing the viewer to view the movie as it downloads to their local machine (in the web browser's cache).
To do this, just enable Fast Start Compressed Header in the options.
Oh, and if you use the Streaming option, the movie has little "hints" added to it and that makes the file much larger than it should be. So, you might want to re-export the movie and post it again.

Error -2048: Quicktime refuses to open Jobs iPhone SDK Presentation

Hi,
I have had this happen to me during the special iMac event last summer and currently with the iPhone SDK event. I get the error message:
"Error -2048: Couldn't open the file m08770365506i_650ref.mov because it is not a file that Quicktime understands."
I have tried using Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safari. Same problem. I tried reinstalling iTunes+Quicktime. I still get the error. Any ideas?
Mike
PS I have screenshots if that helps

I was afraid of that.. :-(
Yeah... well, I've tried to import the files to iTunes, both through drag'n drop and by Files/Add to Library but nothing, zip, zero happens. Not even an error message appears. I have no problem with adding mpeg4 files but I get no reaction when trying to add the wma's...
