Safari Error RE: MIME type plugin.

ERROR Message: "Safari cannot find the Internet Plug-In.
The page “CBS.com - Innertube” has content of MIME type “audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin”. Because you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type, this content can’t be displayed."
I'm unable to catch CBS Sunday Morning videos. Please advise – anyone? Would being out of the U.S. have anything to do with this problem?
Many thanks for the responses.

Hello.
You need to download and install RealPlayer. Make sure that my link takes you to the Mac OS X version of RealPlayer. The site should detect your OS.
Even with this installed as a plug-in you still may not be able to access some/any shows. I just tried a CSI episode from CBS.com/innertube and, after running the adverts, was told that it wasn't available to viewers outside of the US
Have fun,

Mime type plugin

I am a new apple user and want to use my computer to listen to the radio. I am getting a message that says I need a mime type plugin. What does this mean and I do have to download microsoft media player?

Thanks for the link.
I also use FireFox as my main browser & had no problems listening to the live streaming radio. However, I have both Flip4Mac & VLC media player installed.
Make sure you have the latest version of QuickTime installed.
Check your QuickTime browser MIME settings to make sure your streaming settings are enabled.
Quicktime>Quicktime Player Preferences>Advanced
Click on the MIME Settings button.
In the next window that opens up make sure that Streaming-Streaming movies is enabled (checked).
While you’re at it make sure all the boxes are enabled especially the Audio box.
Click the OK button.
Repair permissions & restart for good measure. Hopefully, this should do the trick for ya!

Any advice greatly appreciated.
Kind regards Gline

I couldn't locate any download site for this plugin for Mac's Safari nor can I find anything on the web except http://www.fastbrowsersearch.com/ which just loads a page to enter a search term—no plugin.
The FastBrowserSearch Toolbar is usually bundled with other plugins. So you can get it by (for example) installing My Web Tattoo.
There's more info on the products it can be bundled with on the page you get to when you click the "Uninstall" link at the bottom of the http://www.fastbrowsersearch.com/ page. That's where you can also find the Safari FastBrowserSearch uninstallation instructions that Bee linked the OP to.

Unable to launch application from my machine:Bad MIME Type

Hi,
The following error message was printed when I tried to access the SwingSet2 demo from the Java Web Start site.
An error occurred while launching/running the application.
Title: SwingSet2
Vendor: Sun Microsystems, Inc.
Category: Download Error
Bad MIME type returned from server when accessing resource: http://java.sun.com/products/javawebstart/apps/SwingSet2.jnlp - text/html
Can you please suggest what is to be done to rectufy this problem?

Bad MIME type returned from server when accessing
resource:
http://java.sun.com/products/javawebstart/apps/SwingSet
.jnlp - text/htmlit should return application/x-java-jnlp-file.
My guess is that you use proxy which messes up headers.
Otherwise try to reinstall Web Start, then enable the console and log output in Web Start's advanced preferences to get more clues what's going on.

Server and MIME types

I'm having a great deal of trouble getting my java web start working I've set up everything on the site but when I click the link it shows the XML code from my JNLP file. I read that I have to set a MIME type on the server but I have no way of changing anything on the server concerning MIME types. Can I somehow specify something in the HTML so it'll open it up? Thanks, Kyle Chalupa

You are quite correct I have a bad MIME type however I don't have access to modify the MIME type definitions on the server nor if I did I wouldn't know what to modify. Is there a way to do it in JavaScript? Kicking up the reward to 5 duke dollars. Please help.
I don't think there's anything you can specify in the
HTML to make it work. I downloaded your jnlp file and
tried to open it in JWS and got the following error:
An error occurred while launching/running the
application.
Title: Tic Tac Toe Application
Vendor: Kyle Chalupa
Category: Download Error
Bad MIME type returned from server when accessing

So that says to me that the mime type has to be set on
the server for it to work at all.

Safari can't find plug in MIME type "video/x-ms-asf-plugin"

hello. i feel seriously computer illiterate at the moment.
i want to listen to something,
but it tells me this:
The page “radio soleluna jova channel” has content of MIME type “video/x-ms-asf-plugin”, but you don’t have a plug-in for this MIME type. This page may have the plug-in for you to download and install:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/mediaplayer/download/default.asp"
i went there and installed wmp the lastest version, and some quicktime-wmp related thing for macs, but still no go...what kind of program do i need to run this plug in or whatever?
thanks in advance.

Hi and Welcome to Apple Discussions
That station is streaming their audio in a Microsoft sound format.
The only way you'll be able to play Windows Media content in native mode on your Intel machine is using the free plug-in Flip4Mac plug-in. This plug-in automatically converts the windows content to a Quicktime format, which will play within Mac browsers.
After downloading the plugin, double click on the download file to install the plug-in. There's really nothing else you need to do with the plug-in, as the default settings are sufficient for your needs.
Next step is deciding where you can play Radio Soleluna. I tried it on Safari 4, but the content does not play. More than likely, this is due to how the site is coded. A good browser alternative that does play the content is Firefox 2.0.0.5. Once installed, you can import your existing Safari bookmarks to Firefox. This way you can access content on either browser.
Before dealing with the Bookmarks (I'll provide guidance), download Flip4Mac, and if necessary, Firefox.

Safari cannot find the Internet plug-in (MIME type...x-shockwave-flash)

Well, YouTube and other flash sites worked fine just until today. So I get this message :
+The page “YouTube - Meet Single File” has content of MIME type “application/x-shockwave-flash”. Because you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type, this content can’t be displayed.+
I've already tried Disk Repair to repair the permissions, installed, re-installed Flash Player and Shockwave Player and nothing yet. System preferences with QuickTime Advanced Panel to enable flash and the other miscelaneous one I unchecked, the normal procedure, I guess. Also checked the libraries to see if I didn't have the plugin in two libraries, but i'm not sure about the library/plugin issue.
Any help is much appreciated.
Best Regards,
Kinetick

I actually don't get any error message at all. The Q is greyed out and a large ? in center of it and nothing works in Safari. I get the same non-message wherever I go that has QT. I have tried some of the fixes that have worked for other people but nothing works so far. I tossed the webplugin into the trash and restarted Safari. I repaired permissions. I looked at the plug-ins list in help but that was only confusing since I don't have a clue what any of those control. Getting frustrated and have spent a couple of hours trying to fix this.

Need help with a Safari Error for Internet Plugin

When attempting to launch a TV episode from the CBS.com website, I receive this error:
The page “CBS.com - Innertube” has content of MIME type “audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin”. Because you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type, this content can’t be displayed.
I thought it was a missing RealPlayer plugin so I downloaded RealPlayer but this did not correct the issue.
I have reviewed the plugins that are installed and this one is not listed but I can not figure out how to get this and install it.
MacBook1.1 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I believe CBS uses Windows Media forrmat for its
videos. Not compatible with the Intel Machines (at
least via Universal Binary).
I suggest installing the free plug-in
Flip4Mac plug-in.
This converts the WMV file to a Quicktime format.
lip4Mac's preference file is located in the System
Preferences panel. On the panel, Plug-ins - 1st and
3rd boxes checked; Movies panel - 1st box checked.
When you install the F4M plug-in, the Windows plug-in
is automatically removed.
I had Flip4Mac installed. I made the changes to the preferences that you list but I am still getting the same error. I restarted after I made the changes to Flip4Mac.
I also tried accessing the episode using Firefox and get the same error. Firefox advises that I am missing a plug-in and provides a link to download. When I click the download link the response is that "audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin" is an unknown plugin.
Thanks,
LL

Firefox v 19.0.2 won't play videos gives Mime type error message

Using Firefox v. 19.0.1 on Mac 15' Macbook Pro running OS X 10.8.3. Trying to play videos. Have webm and MP4 version videos to play. Code works fine and videos play in Firefox on my machine. When downloading web pages from the server I get "No video supported format & Mime type found" error messages.
HOw does one fix this?
Thanks,
George

You may need the flash player required to play those types of files or you may need to update your plugins.
Please check if all your plugins are up-to-date. To do this, go to the [http://mozilla.com/plugincheck Mozilla Plugin Check site].
Once you're there, the site will check if all your plugins have the latest versions.
If you see plugins in the list that have a yellow ''Update'' button or a red ''Update now'' button, please update these immediately.
To do so, please click each red or yellow button. Then you should see a site that allows you to download the latest version. Double-click the downloaded file to start the installation and follow the steps mentioned in the installation procedure.

Mime browser plugin for safari

hi i tried to listen to streaming audio from the website of one of my local fm radio stations where i live and this is the message i'm getting. The page “::.. C95 - Listen Live ..::” has content of MIME type “application/x-mplayer2”, but you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type. A plug-in should be available on this page: then it gives the url: http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/MediaPlayer/
i tried to find the plugin on the website but i couldn't find it, and tried downloading windows media player 9 for OS X and it won't install. the thing its that the install file has the extention .stix. how can i find the plugin?
thanks in advance
Cale

Hi Cale,
The only way you'll be able to play Windows Media content in native mode on your Intel machine is using the free plug-in Flip4Mac plug-in. This converts the Windows media files to a QuickTime format.
Beyond that, playing videos on Safari can be challenging in some instances. A good browser alternative. when Safari does not handle site content, is either Firefox 2.0 or Camino.
Also, some web sites code their media specific to the Windows platform. In these instances, no Mac browser will help you.
If no joy after installing the Flip4Mac plug-in, post the URL and I'll try the station from my machine.
One other note about "flip4mac". The preference file for the Plug-in resides in System Preferences. After installing the plug-in, "repair permissions" using Disk Utility in your Utilities folder. Once done, go to System Preferences>Flip4Mac and make sure the 1st and 3rd boxes are selected in the Plug-in panel, and the 1st box in the Movie panel.

Safari and MIME type "application/x-mplayer2"

When trying to listen to web pages conatining mp3 audio files (prior to purchasing them) , Safari comes up with a message saying that MIME type “application/x-mplayer2” is not installed and only downloads the html file and not the mp3 file. When we check on our installed plug-ins in Safari, MIME type “application/x-mplayer2” has been installed.
How do we fix this? We are using Safari Version 2.0.2 (416.12) OSX 10.4.3. It works on one of our older machines running Safari Version 1.3.1 (v312.3.3) OSX 10.3.9

Nevermind. I answered my own question. Seek and you shall find. http://www.apple.com/safari/download/plugins.html I just had to DL the WMV plug in. All better.

Trying to embed a video file in HTML5: ERROR=No video with supported format and MIME type found?

Hello all!
I am desparate for a solution. I am testing my site on Firefox and Explorer and still no sign of a functional video yet.
Firefox: I get the error: No video with supported format and MIME type found.
Explorer: I just get a distorted layout.
Here is the code I am working on:
<table id="Table_01" width="480" height="801" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
    <tr>
        <td colspan="6">
            <img src="images/Video_01.jpg" width="480" height="114" alt=""></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td rowspan="3">
            <img src="images/Video_02.jpg" width="52" height="486" alt=""></td>
        <td colspan="4">
           <video controls width="376" height="221">

             </video>
Please tell me that there is something missing in the code. I have spent a lot of time uninstalling-updating Firefox plugins, added MIME types in the Internet Information Manager (I'm on Windows 7)
and seriuously hit a dead end with this!
Any advice would be muchly appreciated!!!
Thanks

As Jon said, you must declare the page as HTML5.
And your server may not be set up to deliver video as a binary file if it is an .OGG file. I have not seen this problem with .MP4 or .M4V in the past, but every server is a little different.
To add a MIME type, you need to change your .htaccess file on an Apache server thusly:
AddType audio/ogg .oga
AddType video/ogg .ogv
AddType application/ogg .ogg
AddHandler application-ogg .ogg .ogv .oga
Additionally, MIME types can usually be changed on a server's Control Panel. One can also ask one's hosting provider to do this as well.
Firefox makes it necessary to use OGG files. Webkit-based browsers will deal with .M4V or .MP4 and I understand Internet Exploder will work with the latter two as well.

Safari doesn't display an object with MIME type video/mp4

So, I've got a little hiccup here. I put together a CV in html with samples you can click to bring up. Now, I don't make any claims to professional geekdom, but I try to be fairly html savvy, and since I'm sending this to the college IT guys, I want to do it right. So I'd like this thing to use valid w3c compliant html. Not too tough, fix some missing quotes and learn how to use the object tag instead of embed. Done.
Well, here's the problem. I loaded it into Safari for testing, and a Quicktime file won't play. Now, it runs fine on Firefox. The obtuse and awkwardly lumped in IE version of the object works fine (tested in IE6, Win2K virtual machine). And the same file ran fine when I had it using an embed tag. Now it just brings up the Quicktime emblem, takes up the specified amount of space, and doesn't do anything.
What did I do wrong? I've got the latest Quicktime and Safari, and I know it's standards compliant. Do I have to feed it some more specific type for an h.264 encoded mp4?
Here's the code I used. The embed tag is the one that works, the object tag is the compliant one that doesn't. I'm guessing I'm missing a parameter or something. Any advice?
<embed scale="1" src="files/Sabres.mp4" pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/" autoplay="FALSE" volume="100" cache="TRUE" height="496" width="640">
<object type="video/mp4" data="files/Sabres.mp4" height="496" width="640">
<param name="controller" value="true">
<param name="autoplay" value="false">
Your browser cannot display this content. Click here to download it.
</object>

Tom and Kirk, thanks for your time. That would work, but since <embed> is a non-standard tag, I want to avoid it.
Andy, I actually stopped by that site last night, and I did use it for the object code.
My problem is that for some reason, what looks like a legitimate implementation of <object> isn't displaying in Safari. I know Firefox is a bit more forgiving of sloppy code, so I don't blame Safari for that one. I know Safari can display the file because it displayed it properly when I called it with embed. I'm just not sure what's wrong with the code that's making Safari not bring up the video. It knows it's Quicktime and loads the file, I know that, because it brings up the emblem and starts hoarding RAM when I bring it up in Safari, but it just holds there. I've tried a couple MIME types, including video/quicktime and video/mp4, both worked in Firefox, and video/h264 just as a shot in the dark, and both Safari and Firefox showed the alternate content.
By the way, here's the full code I used to display the object, using Castro's cloaking technique for IE compatibility. I omitted it earlier because when I isolated the non-IE section alone in the body of the document it behaved the same as it did with the cloaking (working in FF, broken in Safari).


<object type="video/mp4" data="files/Sabres.mp4" height="496" width="640">
<param name="controller" value="true">
<param name="autoplay" value="false">
Your browser cannot display this content. Click here to download it.
</object>

How to specify MIME type handlers in Safari?

In the old days, it was possible to specify the MIME type handler in web browsers like Netscape, etc. I can't seem to find this functionality in Safari. Is it possible to do this?
Specific intended use case: I use a website that includes document attachments that are of MIME type message/rfc822. They're just the text source of email messages (with a .eml extension). When I click on a link to one of these attachments, Safari wants to download it to a file, warns me that a ".eml" file might be dangerous (that's another thing I'd like to fix), and so forth. It's just a text file. I'd like to make Safari just display the text, as if it were of MIME type text/plain.
Any hints or is not not possible?
Thanks,
Scott

Maybe this is something that RCDefaultApp could do?

Safari popup declares that a MIME type is unspecified...

Hi Fellow Safari Users!
Whenever I open certain websites (e.g. my own - http://www.bespoke-webwork.com/), Safari tells me that certain features are disabled because Mime Type is unspecified - i.e. a .mp3 file I optionally play on my homepage.
As a newcomer I am frustrated by the inability of Safari to cater universally for Mime types - specifically playing .mp3 files, without having to download RealPlayer... (why could it not be coped with internally by Safari??).
If anyone can suggest a way in which one can avoid such popups, without having to troubleshoot each one differently, I would be extremely grateful.
P.S.
Does downloading RealPlayer cure the problem anyway?

As b noir suggests your html code is the cause of your troubles and this free software can help you write perfect code:
http://www.qtbridge.com/pageot/pageot.html
Your current code doesn't give proper instructions to any browser plug-in. The "embed" tag isn't properly closed. The "object" tag (used by Internet Explorer) uses the wrong audio "type" for the QuickTime plug-in. When I view your link I get two versions of the same song.
Fix the page code and your page will work with any browser.
