Mozilla browsers (Camino & FF) not showing Quicktime Movies

[GimmeSlack12]

I know I changed something, and really don't know what. I've reinstalled Quicktime and Flip4Mac but the problem persists.

The problem is audio playing with "No Picture" being displayed on a black background. Any ideas?

What do you mean by "reinstalled" Quick Time...? And why...?

And does this happen with all Quick Time films or just a selected few...? Links...?

I'll start from the beginning.

I use VLC a lot, and had installed a VLC quicktime plug-in. Didn't know what it was for and after install it did nothing but cause VLC to give an annyoing error when I opened it. Ok so I tried to delete it, there was no uninstaller and I couldn't really find the plug-in for VLC so I removed a few things regarding VLC prefs in the Library.

This is where I did something wrong. Obviously removed something I shouldn't have that has caused Camino to be borked.

So my first thought was to reinstall QT thinking that it would re-install whatever it was that I removed. That hasn't worked.

The problems sites are: Rocketboom.com ; Cnn.com ; and various others. But when rocketboom.com didn't work anymore I knew something was kinda EFFed.

I tried Safari, and it runs everything just fine.

Ok... rocketboom works fine in my Bon Echo, so you've definitively deleted something you shouldn't have...

Let's see, what do you have left in your /Library/Internet Plug-ins/ folder?



Anything I have that you're missing?

Thanks Mittrawn.
By having me compare with your plug-ins window I found the VLC plug-in causing **** with my system (don't know how I missed it the first time). Removed it and everything is back to normal. I suppose it was simply interferring with QT.

Appreciate the effort.

He-he... that's what the Disabled Plug-ins folder is for...

Good to know everything is back to normal...
