This isn't my week for QuickTime.
I just hit a very serious bug and have a reproducible crash from QT in
Safari, IE/Mac, and IE/Win! Three browsers (possibly more), two platforms.
We used QTB archiving to create files for later casting.
Today I went in and trimmed some dead air from the beginning of them in
QuickTime Player Pro (select segment, Edit | Clear) and then did File | Save
As | Self Contained onto our streaming server.
When the files are accessed through QT plugin via rtsp (seemingly in any
browser, any platform), the buffer negotiation starts looping --
4,3,2,4,3,2,4,3,2 and then the browser crashes.
I can also crash QT Player itself by accessing the RTSP stream directly.
Ouch.
After some experimentation, I found that if I removed the two hint tracks
in QT Player and then exported Movie to Hinted Movie (recreating the hint
track) the crash went away.
In other words, you can't edit an already hinted movie and use it on QTSS
without crashing QT player and plugin, Mac or Windows.
Is this a known issue? If so, is there something I can do short of
recreating hint tracks in all of these movies?
Argh.
Thanks,
Scot
