Website movie won't play

I have exported a movie for web using Quicktime Player
I chose the smallest version (425k .mov) and it plays fine
I added the movie to a photo album page on my site in iWeb
Selected movie - opened the Quicktime inspector and ticked Autoplay and saved.
Then I publish the entire site to my desktop and Visited Site
I go to the album page and click on the movie but all I hear is the sound playing
- the picture stays still. And I don't see the playback control bar either.
If I click on another photo on the same page and then back on the movie it plays fine
but the first time I click on it it doesnt work.
Any suggestions please?
Is this anything to do with publishing to my desktop?
Will it work when I publish to the web?
thanks
Pete

Publish to a server and see for yourself if it plays.

  • My Dreamweaver website movies won't play in Safari

    I have made my own very simple website in Dreamweaver. I have a showreel page where files that I made in imovie I then export or 'share' and then place in Dreamweaver as 'Shockwave media' - embedded in the page. When you visit the page a quicktime icon appears briefly and then a player window appears and the movies play automatically with the scroll bar and pause button in view.
    This site is as smooth as silk in Firefox 1.5.0.8, Internet Explorer 5.2.3, Netscape Navigator 7.2 and Opera 6.0.3.
    My friends using Safari are also not able to view the movies- what we see online is just a static Macromedia Shockwave icon.
    My one breakthrough is that if I put the full path to these .mov files in the file name box in Dreamweaver (ie HD/folder/next folder/filename and extension) (rather than folder/filename and extension) you can view the movie by clicking on the Shockwave icon and another window will open and show just the movie with none of page information. This however messes up the view in all of the other browsers too as they do the same. So it is as if Safari cannot find the file in my website folder, but all of the other browsers have no problem.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi,
    Any chance you can post a link to the website so people can see the code? I'm no expert by any means but many people browsing here are and may be able to see what the issue is.

  • Quicktime movies won't play on Apple Website

    I formatted my HD and reinstalled Snow Leopard. Last night and this morning I was watching the videos on http://www.apple.com/business/theater/#activecorners?sr=hotnews.rss, but tnight when I went back there, the movies won't play, nor will any other movies on the entire website. All I get is a Quicktime Icon with a question mark in the middle of it. I have both Quicktime X and Quicktime Pro 7 installed, with Pro in the Utilities folder.

    After loading the AppleMPEG2.Component into the Quicktime folder in the Library, everything started working again. I'm not sure if that's what made it start working again though.

  • IDVD autoplay movie won't play in DVD player

    My IDVD movie won't play in a DVD player when created in autoplay mode. It plays fine on my computer both in preview and on my computer's DVD player program and it works fine if I create a menu and button, just not if I create it in autoplay mode. I've tried it on my work compter and three DVD players and it won't play in any of them. Can anyone help, please?

    Hi Sue
    Thanks for responding.
    I used a 16x Maxwell DVD-R. The same kind of disc worked fine with the movie when I had a menu.
    I'm afraid I don't know what a Patchburn is.

    Hi JosefK:
    Welcome to discussions.
    Did you use a Data DVD by chance?
    It needs to be a DVD-R with iMovie 4.
    Are you using an external with Patchburn?

  • ITunes Error: Cannot play bought iTunes movie from one day to the other "The selected movie won't play on your display."

    Hi,
    just a few weeks ago I watched on my new iMac 5k Retina a long-ago-downloaded movie (iTunes content, HD, Billy Joel. Live at Shea Stadium). I had no issues watching it on the new wonderful display just a few weeks ago!
    Today I wanted to resume the video and got the error "The selected movie won’t play on your display. This movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection).".
    Actually the movie plays for a few seconds and then the movie window gets black and the error message appears. Restarting iTunes does not help. Restarting the Mac also not.
    How can this be fixed?
    Additionally I get since I moved from my old iMac to the new one the iTunes error "Do you want the application “iTunes.app” to accept incoming network connections?" every time I start iTunes.

  • Selected movie won't play SOLVED

    I had this problem trying to play a rented movie. Got the message The selected movie won't play on one of your connected displays. My problem was with a software which is made by INFOCUS for their projector. I removed it and now the movie plays even on the projector and without the software. I have seen that solution in this forum elsewhere.

    Hello guys,
    Please note that to be able to play your purchased HD movies or videos, let us not forget some minor details. Ensure that your iTunes software is up-to-date. HD videos will only play if you have iTunes 10.6 or later as described in this article:
    iTunes: Purchasing and viewing HD videos
    You might also want to check this one:
    iTunes for Windows: Unable to view or play HD video content that requires HDCP
    I hope this helps a lot! Good luck!

  • HT1498 My rented movie won't play, even though it shows "rented".  What gives?

    My rented movie won't play, even though it shows "rented".  What gives?

    I have a similar issue.  My Dell Latitude is running Windows Pro 8.1 and iTunes 11.1.3.8.  It looks like it's playing, but it isn't.
    Things seemed to work fine before the 8.1 update.  I fear I will have to rollback to 8.0 because the sound no longer works on the computer unless you use the headphone jack. 
    Podcasts and music behave the same way, they appear to be playing, but the timer is not progressing for them either.
    This may be the combination of 8.1 and 11.1.3.8

  • In OSX 10.9, Quicktime movies won't play

    Plug-in not "visible" in list even though Quicktime is installed. In this OS, we cannot "reinstall" Quicktime because it's built into the OS. How can I get the QT videos to run inside Firefox?

    You said that QuickTime movies won't play "inside Firefox". Do they play inside Safari or when you directly access a QuickTime Movie file that's been saved on your Mac ?
    See the Firefox Support article, [[Use the QuickTime plugin to play audio and video]]. It has some test links and explains how to enable the QuickTime plugin in the Add-ons Manager, in case it's been disabled in Firefox.
    Like you say, QuickTime is built into the operating system on Mac OS so if you can't enable the browser plugin in Firefox or if it's missing, your best bet would be a Mac forum such as https://discussions.apple.com/

  • QTVR Movies won't play properly in iWeb

    QuickTime VR panoramic movies won't play properly. Doesn't seem to matter what kind of iWeb page I use. The movies respond normally when opened with QuickTime Player. The seem to fail only when placed into iWeb.
    First, there are no VR controls visible. What controls there are don't respond when clicked. Second, the mouse curson doesn't change when moved over the movie placeholder. Third, the only image within the movie placeholder is the first frame.
    I tried several QTVR panorama movies with the same result. I also verified that none of the available movie controllers will function. I have already searched on QTVR in this forum and found none of the few suggestions offered to work.
    Any new ideas?

    We've recieved your file and got it to work in iWeb. Here's what to do:
    As always, place a text box in iWeb the size of the dimentions of your QTVR movie. Put some text in the box something like "QTVRMOVIECODEHERE"
    After Publishing your site locate your "QTVRMOVIECODEHERE" text and replace it with
    <embed src="http://URLWhereYourFileis.mov" width="320" height="240"></embed>
    Another way you can do it is store the QTVR file on your host. If you are using .mac you can store it in your sites folder or Web folder. From the sites folder the URL for your file would be homepage.mac.com/YourUserName/YourFolder(if any)/YourQTVRMovieName.mov
    Then place a hyperlink to your files URL in your iWeb page.
    Here is the working QTVR file in an iWeb page:
    http://iWebFAQ.com/QTVR/IniWeb
    Or if you'd like you can you can hyperlink to http://iWebFAQ.com/QTVR/twofish.mov

  • ITunes movies won't play after backing up library

    I recently ran out of hard drive space on my macbook pro so I decided to move my iTunes library to an external hard drive to make space. Since doing so the movies that I bought on Itunes won't play. Everything else is fine. The music plays but the TV shows and movies won't play. There was an error message the first time that I tried to play it but I have never seen it again and I didn't write it down. Something about a file missing. Has anyone successfully fixed a similar problem?

    so I decided to move my iTunes library to an external hard drive to make space  
    I'm guessing you moved the /iTunes media/ folder to the external yourself?
    There was an error message the first time that I tried to play it but I have never seen it again and I didn't write it down. Something about a file missing.
    iTunes prefs - Reset warnings.
    Double click a movie to play it.
    When it comes up and asks if you want to locate it, click Yes, then go to /iTunes/iTunes media/Movies on the external and find the movie.

  • Most movies won't play save for youtube and a few others

    On Facebook and a lot of website, videos won't play, I just get a black screen when I click on the videos. Youtube is one of the few exceptions, I'd say 1 in 10 website don't work, videos uploaded directly on Facebook for exemple never work.
    I though it might be my noscript, or adsblock but I tried every solutions on your support and various forums, didn't change a thing. (e.g. running in safe mode, deleting them, deleting Firefox and re-installing it) So it doens't seem to be an addon problem, unless it install something to deep in my PC for me to remove(the videos did work for a while on Firefox but I don't remember what could have triggered the change).
    Then I thought it could be linked to an update to my graphic card but I really have no idea how to test that hypothesis.
    I'm wondering if it could be because my computer is an ASUS? I had the same thing happens to me on my previous ASUS computer, it fixed itself when I reinstalled Windows, though when I re-installed it, I didn't have any of the Asus crap that comes with a new computer.
    Is there anything you might know that is in conflict with Firefox on a PC that cause this problem?
    I don't want to go to Chrome.

    I did that, I had two version running, though it didn't change anything that I noticed. I still have the same issue.
    I know what you meant with the small lego icon, it's not what's happening, I have a simple black screen as if the video was about to start, it just never do - I don't have a loading issue either.
    Addtionnal info, I noticed I have two Shockwave in my plugins - no idea if it's related
    I also found out I can't remove the hardware acceleration in Flash. Whenever I right click on a flash thing and uncheck the box, as soon as I close the small window, the box has back being checked.
    Among other things I tried is in the about:config, the dom.ipc.plugins.flash.disable-protected-mode line, I've set it to TRUE.
    I've included 2 images, one of the folder you mentionned, the other is what I get when I click on a cellphone uploaded video. It's not much of a picture, it's only a black screen as I said but just in case it can rule out some stuff.

  • Movie won't play in or outside of itunes

    I recently purchased Marvel's Avengers. The movie won't play in itunes or in any other program. I've tried deleting and re-downloading it. I don't get an error message, I just click play and nothing happens.
    Sometimes it will flash the pause button briefly, but then it goes back to the play button, and the movie doesn't start.

    Try restarting your iTunes in 32-bit mode, as per the following document:
