No, I think it’s more likely an example of Apple deciding what technology is 
now officially obsolete (in their view at least). Probably amounts to the same 
thing though…

The QT plugin has now gone to the same place as the floppy disk, the SCSI 
connector, the Apple Desktop Bus, and many others. they’re still cleaning out 
their box of remnants from the 1990s. It must be getting close to being empty 
by now.

Hi Severin,

The QuickTime plugin is no longer supported on OS X 10.11.

Apple disables the QuickTime plug-in in 10.11.

If the QT movies are the ones on Jenny’s website, I tried moving the 
disabled “QuickTime Plugin.plugin” back into Internet Plug-Ins as 
below as a Test to see if it would work... but unfortunately NO.


I went to  "/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Disabled Plug-Ins" and checked 
if "QuickTime Plugin.plugin" was there, it was, so I moved it to 
"/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ , restarted Safari and checked on Safari 
-> Preferences -> Security -> Plug-in settings.
Then opened Safari, went to Jenny’s website tried to play ‘The Stream’ 
but no go - still receive ‘Missing Plug-in’ click the -> to see 
message “This webpage has content that requires the “QuickTime” 
plug-in etc


I imagine it is to do with file handling via Safari and probably the 
move to HTML5.
The developers of the sites have to change, doesn't look like the 
browsers will change.

QT problem

[Severin Crisp]

Further research shows a freebie to convert movies to HTML5 friendly formats.  
Downloading right now.  


Many thanks for that time consuming effort on my behalf Ronni!  
No I have not switched to El Capitan.  But certainly there website coding is 
HTML5.  Looks as if I have some movie grinding to do!

Re: QT problem

Hi Severin,

Are you running El Capitan 10.11?
The QuickTime plugin is no longer supported on OS X 10.11.

Apple disables the QuickTime plug-in in 10.11. 

If the QT movies are the ones on Jenny’s website, I tried moving the disabled 
“QuickTime Plugin.plugin” back into Internet Plug-Ins as below as a Test to see 
if it would work... but unfortunately NO.

I went to  "/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Disabled Plug-Ins" and checked if 
"QuickTime Plugin.plugin" was there, it was, so I moved it to 
"/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ , restarted Safari and checked on Safari -> 
Preferences -> Security -> Plug-in settings.
Then opened Safari, went to Jenny’s website tried to play ‘The Stream’ but no 
go - still receive ‘Missing Plug-in’ click the -> to see message “This webpage 
has content that requires the “QuickTime” plug-in etc

I imagine it is to do with file handling via Safari and probably the move to 
HTML5.

change.

QT problem

[Severin Crisp]

I have just noticed that the QT movies in my own webpages will not play on my 
iMac.   They are fine on my iPad.   Safari says " plugin failure", Firefox 
requests activation of QT then plays and Chrome plays straight off.   I have 
removed the plugin from DIVX after a recent upgrade.   I am not sure how long 
this has been happening, only discovered by chance.   
Simple solution I am sure.
