Enabling Quicktime in Mozilla
 

Hi,

I have quicktimeutils installed but it does not help as far as streaming
Quicktime videos is concened.
Has anybody got any idea as to how these apple videos can be seen and
how not to get the 'no picture' black screen instead ?
I have mozilla-browser 1.7.8-1 and also firefox 1.0.6

thanks
cheers

Maybe it works....!!!

Thanks, it doesn't.

I recommend installing MPlayer and mplayerplug-in (mozilla-mplayer package). Quicktime content works fine with them.
See here for instructions I have written about the installation: http://serios.net/content/debian/misc-tips.php#mplayer

Quick summary of the instructions:

1. Add the APT sources mentioned here http://hpisi.nerim.net/ to your /etc/apt/sources.list, e.g.
   deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ sarge main
2. apt-get update
3. apt-get install mplayer-386 w32codecs (or mplayer-k6 or mplayer-586, ...)
4. If you are using Debian stable, use apt-pinning to make packages from testing available (the mozilla-mplayer package in stable ('sarge') is plain awful)
5. apt-get install mozilla-mplayer -t testing

Thanks dastrike, I'll try that. :)

---Sorry, I misread your first post. You meant streaming mov instead of normal files on disk....

BTW...did the mplayer thing work in the end?

Cheers!!
