75570 - quicktime movie crashes browser

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[andreww]

go to url above.
scroll down till you see:
* Brief, arty intro (cool music here too)  5485K

(or whichever movie strikes your fancy)

click on a link.

mozilla brings up a dialog asking if you want to save the file or launch quicktime.

choose to launch quicktime

mozilla downloads the file - but then does _not_ launch quicktime.


I'm using quicktime 5 public preview 3


[[ aside :

also - quicktime can open files directly - so instead of downloading the file-
why not just past the url to quicktime and let it open it?  If you do this - the
app launches very quickly and quicktime will start "streaming" the file in (even
if it's not being streamed from the server) so you can immediately start
watching the movie.

Reporter:

Quicktime 5 is still in beta. Does the same happen for Quicktime 4? What build 
of Mozilla are you using?

cc:ing local Quicktime 5 tester.

works nicely on quicktime player 4.x as a helper app. But crashes if I have the 
plugin inside plugins folder.Crashes just when the clip is about to load inside 
the browser window.

The build I was using was 2001041108. I'll try to specifically register
Quicktime 5 as a helper app and see what happens.

MAC: 

As a helper app : works fine
As an embedded plugin: works too (but seeing some paint problems)

Win :

Works as a helper app
Crashes as a plugin when test url is loaded (Arty Intro)

does not crash.Build used 2001041104 windows. :(

With a newer QT 5 build (B18), I'm able to play movie with any problems. This
could have just been fixed by the newer plugins Apple has provided. Tested under
Windows ME and Mac 0S 9.

I forgot to say this is using QT as a plugin.

Reporter, can you try an updated version of Quicktime 5, if possible.

[Peter Lubczynski]

Reporter: marking WFM based on Shrirang and Petersen's comments. Please verify 
with a release copy of QT 5 that it does not crash.
