I recently found out that the playback of movies with the "alwaysbuffer" set to

LC 4.6.3, QT 7.XX (whatever came with Lion).
OK, the controller is not usable in that case, but that is no problem.
When did this change?
Is this reliable?
Any hints?
I could be wrong, but my guess is that this changed with the rendering
overhaul in v2.7.
Yes, it is pretty nice. I've only played with it in development,
though; I won't be able to use it in production until I can get native
Windows Media Player playback working reliably (that is, honoring the
startTime - see <http://quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6342>).
If we had reliable playback that honors the startTime without QT, it
would be a snap to make a custom controller that provides looping,
selection, etc., without requiring our users to download and install QT
(which many of the IT staff at our installation sites refuse to do, and
with a very capable media playback engine already included with their OS
I can't blame them).
