Quicktime mov files are not playing in shadowbox

[skyhigh008]

Hi

Does anyone know or having the same problem with shadowbox playing quicktime(.mov) file? I'm using the lastest shadowbox and quicktime  version 7.6.4.

Search for '7.6.4' ... ?

I've had this same problem on Windows Vista 64bit (QuickTime 7.6.4) when running the files locally, but on a webserver the QuickTime movies do generally play within Shadowbox.

I wonder if the problem doesn't lie within Shadowbox's plugin detection:

"Shadowbox uses a smart plugin detection mechanism behind the scenes that can spare your users from confusing torn image or puzzle piece icons when they don't have the plugins they need to view your content"

I've had the problem of Shadowbox showing me the broken question mark logo for awhile, I was checkin out the sources and I think it has to do with using the method of embedding.

I modified the 'shadowbox-qt.js' player file to include the non-standard  method and it seems to be working out although Shadowbox is not resizing properly.

I'm using Firefox 3.5, not sure how it works/looks in other browsers.

To clarify because it got snipped out; I included the non-HTML standard 'embed' code that Apple suggests using here at http://www.apple.com/quicktime/tutorials/embed2.html

Resizing problem was because I forgot to add the height/width in the rel="" info. I feel dirty using that embed stuff but it's playing Quicktime in Firefox now, yeehaw.

Would you mind sharing your non-standard method?

Edit: Sorry ... simultaneous posts!

This problem has been killing me for days now. Would you mind if I look at how your shadowbox-qt.js file looks now? Please, please  Thanks

Hi - I'm having the same problem. What specifically did  you do to modify your .js file? Would you mind giving line numbers & exactly what code you inserted where? Thanks!
