Quicktime issue

Hi,

I just posted a Quicktime .mov file to my site, and when I click on the link, only audio plays. Any idea what I need to fix/change?

Thanks,

Tom

Hard to tell without your url address, but a couple of ideas come to mind.
1) clear your cache of the browser
2) check you codecs make sure you don't need to install one.
3) try playing the video directly from you computer assuming you had one previously.
4) see if right click saving makes a difference
5) try another browser, IE is different than firefox for loading.
Hope something above helps, if not post your url and the code for the quicktime loading atleast.

I cannot get my videos to stream. If I put them on the regular domain, they work, but don't stream. I have them in the streaming domain now, but nothing happens. Any ideas... here is the code I am using.

<object classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab" height="240" width="320">
<param name="cache" value="true">
<param name="src" value="Fantazm.mov">
<param name="qtsrc" value="rtsp://streaming.phxcreative.com/streaming.phxcreative.com/Fantazm.mov">
<param name="autoplay" value="true">
<param name="controller" value="true">

Sorry to take so long getting back with you. I just tried your link to the server and I received an file not found error. Double check that the file is the same as the link and check the folder properties, make sure it is world readable. Not sure about world executable, since it is not a program, but would not hurt anything is it was.

Here is a link to a hinted one, it shows up, but I can't get the code to pull it onto my site.

This is new hinted movie.
rtsp://streaming.phxcreative.com/streaming.phxcreative.com/dragonbug hinted.mov

This is the link it should work on.

There is a better way of doing this. First, create an XML file that points to your hinted movie:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?quicktime type="application/x-quicktime-media-link"?>
<embed src="rtsp://streaming.phxcreative.com/streaming.phxcreative.com/dragonbug hinted.mov" autoplay="true" />

Save that file as dragonbug_hinted.qtl. Then make your embedding code point to the .qtl file instead of the .mov file. You can see full instructions for this method on the DreamHost wiki.

Awesome! Thank you, that worked. I tried that method before, but I didn't have a hinted movie. So, with a hinted movie and the xml method, it is all good. Thank you all who helped, I know it said all this in the Wiki, but I guess I just needed a little extra... Thanks again, you all rock!

Yep a hinted movie is require to stream, whether you use the xml technique Simon showed you or not.
BTW, Nice tip Simon.
