So, the problem was more general than not playing QT movies. This only happened
if no mime type was specified _and_ a plugin had file extensions specified in
form ext1,ext2|ext3, i.e. delimetered not only by vertical bar but also by
commas. I added the logic for parsinf commas and extracting extensions in this
case.

Hi, Andrei ---

I'm not certain how to verify this; I've read bug #4751. First, I assume we're
dealing with the content of http://slip.mcom.com/projects/marvin/bft/browser/
bft_plugin.html. (Bug 4751 is unclear on this topic)

If so, the only plug-in invocation that I see for the QuickTime movie is:

	<OBJECT data="../images/A_bugs_life.mov" width="320" height="260">
	</OBJECT>

Umm...I don't see vertical bars or commas used as delimiters. (Actually, on a
skim quick skim, I can't find it in 13.3 of the HTML 4 spec, either.)

What have I totally missed here? Thanks!

I ment delimeters which are used in the plugin dll version stamp. If plugin is
capable of dealing with different mime types you will see them. Example: find
npqtplugin2.dll, right button click on it, choose Properties, go to Version tab,
select, say, FileExtents. You'll see
midi,mid,smf,kar|midi,mid,smf,kar|qcp|rtsp,rts|sdp|sgi,rgb|psd|pntg,pnt,mac

If you select MimeType, you'll see
audio/x-midi|audio/mid|audio/vnd.qcelp|application/x-rtsp|application/sdp|image/
x-sgi|image/x-photoshop|image/x-macpaint

I suppose, file extensions separated by commas correspond to the same mime type.

[from e-mail sent to Andrei on Thursday...]

    Using Quicktime 4.0 on Win32 and Mac OS (using today's builds of Mozilla),
QuickTime still doesn't work on the cited test page, or on any others.

    On Win32, this page displays a broken plug-in icon; on Mac OS, it simply
displays a gray page, with no evidence of QuickTime having been invoked.

    I'm not sure whether to re-open this bug or not; what's your opinion? Can't
prove conclusively that this is the source of the failure for QuickTime to
invoke. Thanks!

Re-opening to ensure that this hits Andrei's radar screen.

I know that QT does not play movies, but to my latest knowledge it plays audio,
like wav files. I think the original bug should be cleared.

Verifying on 10.25.99 AM Win NT build that a quick plug-in test of an embedded
AIFF audio file, QuickTime is invoked.

It doesn't actually _work_, but it still is invoked. (source: http://
