Yep. > It appears LL are removing quicktime support from their viewer > https://bitbucket.org/callum_linden/viewer-release-noqt I already tried (months ago, when I noticed that the VS2012 builds were not producing a valid QuickTime plugin with the old QuickTime SDK) the trick consisting in replacing all occurrences of media_plugin_quicktime with media_plugin_cef (or even media_plugin_webkit; Webkit too, could play media, mind you...) in the mime_types.xml file for Windows, but got faced with the same problem as the one described by Nicky in the last commit to that experimental viewer (https://bitbucket.org/callum_linden/viewer-release-noqt/commits/540b99f9160fa478cade308f388e9303ed98b232) Many media URLs are then considered as files for download by CEF, causing a rejection of the URL and a failure to play the media. Plus, frankly, is it reasonnable to launch a new instance of CEF (i.e. a *full* embedded web browser instance, using over 80Mb of memory while the QuickTime plugin uses 100 times less) for *each* playing media on surrounding prims ? That's a bit like using a hammer and an anvil to squash a bug, don't you think so ?... Quite inelegant ! YUCK !!! Like I already wrote earlier, the way to go is to use the gstreamer SDK for Windows and get a gstreamer plugin compiled for the latter.
