Hi there,
I¹ve been trying to implement a webkit plugin in Snow Leopard, and I can¹t
seem to get the plugin to actually work. I tried using the 10.5 version of
WebKitMoviePlugin (compiled as a 32/64-bit Universal), and I¹ve found the
following interesting anomalies (but the plugin doesn¹t work):
1. After I drag the plugin into the /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ folder, the
WebKitMoviePlugin shows up in the Help-->Installed Plug-ins page in Safari.
I changed the MIME Type to ³video/quicktime², and the extension is ³mov²,
which collides with the Quicktime plugin that is already there.
2. When I load a movie (for instance:
http://www.thirdpartyplugins.com/stormtracer/movies/StormReel.mov), the
Quicktime plugin takes over (it seems) and it plays in the Safari window.
3. When I delete the Quicktime player plugin from the Plug-Ins folder and
the WebKitMoviePlugin is still installed (and quit and relaunch Safari), the
same window comes up, playing the movie as if the Quicktime Player plugin
were still installed.
4. If I then delete the WebKitMoviePlugin from the Plug-Ins folder (and
relaunch Safari) so that there aren¹t any ³video/quicktime² and ³mov²
associated plugins, the movie does not play in Safari, but instead downloads
and opens up the standalone Quicktime player.
In other words, when the Quicktime plug-in is installed, an in-browser
window appears when I load a .mov file. When the WebKitMoviePlugin is
installed (and even when I comment out everything in the webPlugInStart
method, so that it really shouldn¹t do anything) and the Quicktime plug-in
is uninstalled, the same window comes up and plays the movie. But when
neither plugin is installed, the movie downloads and plays in the standalone
Quicktime player.
Any ideas what¹s going on here, and why I can¹t seem to launch the
WebKitMoviePlugin? Thanks!
