If you go to this site, click on Near Shore Buoy at the bottom, then
Latest Video. Can anyone get these videos to play? Using IE, they at
least try to play, but only with black screens.


This one? <http://wqdatalive.com/public/55>

Plays just fine in my SeaMonkey 2.25
I click on your link and i cannot see any video, just a google map and
the title:
Regional Science Consortium
Tom Ridge Environmental Center at Presque Isle

Follow the OP's instructions:
 >>>click on Near Shore Buoy at the bottom, then Latest Video.

I got it to work in IE using Windows Media Player as the helper app.
Still no luck in SM when I set WMP as the helper app. How do I set this
up in SM to work? Can I set the WMP plugin to be the helper?

In theory, yes, but SeaMonkey devs removed the ability to manually
add/remove MIME types via the Helper Applications dialog. Now the only
way to do it would be to dig into your profile and edit mimeTypes.rdf. I
gave it the college try to fix this, but even though I was able to add
video/mp4 as a MIME type and set QuickTime plugin as the helper
application, the video frame still shows the same error.

Editing mimeTypes.rdf is messy and prone to error. If you go playing in
there, make a backup copy of the file just in case. Good luck with it.

So, do you know if it's possible to play these using SM?

My SM is using Apple's QuickTime as the helper app.  Works fine.
