Quicktime Browser Plugin Doesnt Load Any Video!

hmmm, now I am getting a White "?" on that Q icon.

I changed the Streaming tab's Transport Setup back to automatic and its back to square one again.

Sorry for the speed of comments, I think I've figured out what the flaw is, now you've gotta help me fix it. Quicktime loses the File Type settings as I click Apply and/or OK. When I open the Settings and go to the File Types' tab again, it shows 0 selections.

Basically, the bugger loses the file types to support and hence the problem. Now what?

have you tried running check disk?

Click Start, then Run and type:

chkdsk c: /f

You will get the following message so hit the y key and reboot

Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another
process.  Would you like to schedule this volume to be
checked the next time the system restarts? (Y/N)

I will do that and get back to you in a few minutes.

It did no good as I suspected!!

Do you have any other video viewers that could be "stealing" away Quicktime's file associations?

I don't think so and its not just the "video" file types, even the audio and image formats too.

What's Windows Media Player set to use?

Right now I gotta fix this stupid OS' Host files so that I can browse right, I'll get back to you shortly.

Finally!

Please take a look at http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/6057/wmp11id4.jpg for WMP file types that I have in use.

Besides QT you may also need to macromedia and java.

Make sure your internet options security are set to defaults.
What version of internet explorer are you using?
If you are using one of the Beta versions youmay find upgrading it can solve internet issues.
Do you have xpsp2 as well?

Dear Merete, I have everything you mentioned. Also, it surely isn't a IE 7's problem as its related to the plug-in which every browser is unable to load properly.

I'm logged into WinME right now (I multiboot 98/ME/XP on my computer) and apparently QT 7 won't work on WinME.  What type of file are these trailers?  Mpeg? Mov? or what?

Mov

Hi run through these QT troubleshoot tips hope they will help.
The internet explorer 7 beta versions do have problems playing video and I find more and more these beta versions must be fully updated this corrects these problems.

I've installed IE 7, happy now? The problem still exists.

Uninstalled*

Hmmm, I predict a dead-end =/

Is this an actual browser plugin or are you simply trying to play quicktime media in a browser, this site you are visiting does it support only QT media player, most use either flash or media player imbedded in their page, they can also use google media player.
Is this the site you are problems with?
http://www.apple.com/trailers/

I cannot play any of these QT trailers either as I have not paid for QT-7 version, I think you have to buy the version and this allows you access to these trailers.
The other thing I found is you need I-tunes included with it.
I also dont have I-tunes.
See if this solves it for you.

Download free player:
QuickTime 7.1 with iTunes 6
for Windows 2000/XP
 http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html

You can google for Quicktime Standalone and it will give you the separate installer available at Apple's web-site. Paid trailers? Give me a break! Who in their right mind would set a policy like that? Do you get the same Q icon ? Try Yahoo! Trailers in quicktime, they stop sometimes for me as well.

Yes i think  you need itunes.
the trailers work fine for me at yahoo.
I just played several trailers here.
Have a bit fun ...

You test it too. Choose the beerfest, it then opens to another page click on the beerfest url and it opens an imbedded player. WMP.
http://movies.yahoo.com/trailers/
Msn video. Also uses WMP imbedded.

This one is awsome funny uses google video player.
Called only in India. I love this one. How many people get killed in traffic. eheheh

If all of these play then maybe your WMP may need to be updated I have WPM 10.
I dont have I-tunes, and my version of QT is 6 so these are the facts for me why those videos trailers dont play for me in the link you provided it is the only one that doesnt so you are not alone there.

Okay I downloaded QT 7 stand alone version..
Actually it does work.
Please try this.
Go here>> http://www.apple.com/trailers/

Choose Fountain> and it takes you here> http://www.apple.com/trailers/wb/thefountain/
then choose from this list on the right>>
Teaser 1<<<< choose this one  it says QT 7 required
Trailer 1
 High Definition
 For your iPod
Official Movie site

Then it takes you here>>http://www.apple.com/trailers/wb/thefountain/trailer1/
 and offers Medium large HD and I-pod.
 
I chose medium just to sample it.
And it plays perfectly.

Do you have Norton AV/ firewall installed? Or system works?
I do know from others using Norton until you add allow this web page to Norton it will block it.
Or something like that

See, the problem is that it loads the trailers that I dont want to watch, for example, The fountain's trailer loaded but this http://www.apple.com/trailers/sony_pictures/thegrudge2/high.html didn't which is frustrating x-(
No, I hate Symantec and its products. I have Windows Firewall degraded to the lowest level you could imagine so there you go.

That plays fine here,
The Grudge 2, it has to load first infront of the play bar you can see it downloading as it moves along.., what speed do you have,
My speed is 2 megs per sec so it loads as fast as it plays.
 
maybe just wait while until  it loads, or inside the actual  play screen r/click
plugin settings.
I'll see if I can type in my settings.

Thats it.

My File Types tab loses everything. Each time I open it, it has nothing selected =/

but then again, that shouldn't matter as it loaded The Founatin's trailer, why not The Grudge? Does it have a grudge against it? :P

I have windows firewall on.
Try running a disc cleanup, or delete your temporary internet files.
Do you know sometimes. That is not always  
 these trailers are saved a temp copy of it in your temporary internet folders?
go to to start menue at the top IE r/click it and properties settings
view files.
Or delete.
In the settings note the amount of disc space to use often times these are set automaticaly to use 1200 megs I reduce mine to around 900 megs, and delete them often.

hmm sounds like you have other problems??
The grudge is a bigger file than fountain.
Are all your internet settings set to defaults?
Security  should  set to medium not custom. Check all the settings in the security.
Do you have an administrative account? xp home or xp pro?

My File Types tab loses everything. Each time I open it, it has nothing selected =/

Try opening quick time player from your start al programs instead and look in preferences these apply the same settings  to the web based player.

Ai3d
when you make changes to internet settings close all the browsers to refersh the changes.
and open  new page with new settings

0 changes. I've restarted the PC!

I'll delete all the useless players as well as codecs from my computer today and see if that helps or not.

Oh my, finally, I am not alone! http://discussions.apple.com/search.jspa?objID=f943&search=Go&q=question+mark

I have resolved this problem.
Here's what I did:

• Completely Uninstalled Flash player 8's references using Windows Install Clean Up (I do have Flash 9)
• Uninstalled Quicktime
• Cleaned registry; deleted Apple/Quicktime folders from Local Machine and Current User, also searched the registry using Ctrl+F to find quicktime releated entries and deleted them.
• Deleted c/programfiles/quicktime, c/programfiles/apple folders. Note that I had the "Apple" folders because I had installed the iPod software as well as iTunes...
• Deleted the plugin files in Mozilla Profiles folder and Internet Explorer folders.
• Uninstalledd FFDSHOW, I have a codecs pack and this also was installed separately so I got rid of it.
• Restarted computer.
• Downloaded the installer from www.apple.com/au/quicktime/download/standalone.html
• Opened the trailer link and boo-hooooooooooooooo! it loaded: http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/3184/quicktimeerrorfixbu2.jpg

Thanks to everyone who contributed but this is how it finally worked, I was hoping for a easier way but what the hell. :-)
