106065 - Can't invoke QuickTime Plug-In via <object>

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 46569

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[Henri Sivonen (:hsivonen)]

Build ID: 2001102205 FizzillaCFM, trunk

Reproducible: Always

Steps to reproduce:
1) Load the examples linked from http://www.hut.fi/~hsivonen/test/object/

Expected results:
Expected at least qt-in-object-with-data.html display an animation of a 3D
hourglass. Would be good if the other tests worked, too.

Actual results:
Only the test with non-standard <embed> fallback works. The tests with <object>
only don't work.

Additional info:
qt-in-object.html follows Apple's ActiveX sample but omits the non-standard
<embed> fallback. Expected Mozilla to use the QuickTime Plug-In instead of ActiveX.

Your HTML is not correct for Mozilla. You are trying to invoke an ActiveX
control by specifying a classid in your OBJECT tag that is not recognized by
Gecko. In order to use the OBJECT tag to invoke 4.x-style plugins, DO NOT
specify a classid attribute. Or, install an ActiveX compatibility plugin that
will be able to understand that your classid belongs to the Quicktime plugin.

Reporter, please also note that the correct mime type for QT movies is 
'video/quicktime' not 'movie/quicktime' as specified in your test case.

Sorry. Fixing the media type fixed the case without the .cab reference.
