Quicktime component not working in Firefox


I'm experiencing issues with Quicktime in Firefox. I have tried using manual embedding (by the usage of the object/embed tag combination). Firefox ignores the content and does not play it. Safari does.

I then proceeded to use ac_quicktime.js that is provided by Apple themselves to create the embedding code. But i get the same results.

When i try loading the video directly (by locating my browser to the video file) it is not being played as well. Given the fact that it works under Safari, i assume it is a Firefox issue?

I am running Firefox 8.0 but it is not of much relevance, as i am trying to develop a video component for my CMS and this has to run in all major browsers.

I'd be grateful for any suggestions!


Solution

  • It turned out to be somehow related to the video format - the problem occured with MOV files, not however with MP4 files. I cannot say i found the reason for FFs behaviour, but at least i found a workaround.
