So, do you know if it's possible to play these using SM?
There appears to be considerable differences among Seamonkey users on
whether the video can be played. It will not work for me and I have
tested for Helpers both Windows Media Player and Quicktime 7.7.3.
Seamonkey shows that video/mp4 points to these helpers.
If I look at the page source with Seamonkey, the entry for mp4 says
<video controls>
<source src="" type="video/mp4">
Your browser does not support playing HTML5 videos.
</video>
This may be the problem although I thought that Seamonkey would handle
HTML5 sites.
But the file in question is
<http://wqdatalive.com/uploads/video/TREC/NOAA_RSC_A_2014_05_07_12_02_00.mp4>,
so no HTML5 support is needed.
As a test, I switched my pref from VLC to WMP and the vid still played fine.
If I click that .mp4 link, I get the video in VLC. But if I clock the
<http://wqdatalive.com/public/55> link and then navigate to Near Shore
Bout and Latest Video, I get the original poster's problem.
Furthermore, if I enable FlashBlock before starting the navigation to
Latest Video, I get an indication that the video is Flash (f in a circle
with the f changing to a right-pointing triangle if I move my cursor
into the area).
By the way, my Helper Applications show "VLC media player 2.1.3" for
"MPEG-4 File Format (video/mp4)".
My Helper Applications don't show anything for 'MPEG-4 File Format
(video/mp4)', but I do have Preview in SeaMonkey for 'Video Podcast'.
Is the video a podcast perhaps and that is why it plays for me with all
my plugins disabled.
Just checked my Firefox 29.0 and Video Podcast is set to Preview in
Firefox, while the Helper Application for MPEG-4 video is set to use my
Xine plugin. Just set the helper Application to always ask, disabled all
the plugins in Firefox, quit and restarted, video still plays for me.
I think it is a podcast. YMMV
