Re: How do I embed QuickTime movies?
sweet. thanks for the compliment.
and yeah, from what I understand href is simply a pointer for a second quicktime file to get loaded in. I’ve never heard of using true & false in it (just a link).
Some people will use a screenshot of a quicktime player with just a black screen showing, and then when the user clicks the movie the href tells their quicktime what movie to start loading in (and it stops displaying the QT screenshot)

Re: How do I embed QuickTime movies?
By the way, I realized I had been using v0.9 instead of 0.9.6 Upgraded now.
I seem to have gotten it working like you described above.
(But without pmtype=“image/quicktime”. Using that threw this error: “txp:wlk_qt Error: video=19. No image or file with this id is stored in txp” where: postermovie=“19”, 19 is the id of the image — it seems to work without pmtype=“image/quicktime” ?)
I’ll keep at it. I haven’t had a chance to research these last points in the thread.

Re: How do I embed QuickTime movies?
what is this:
video=19
I think the error was for the video.
Could you block quote the error message next time so I can tell what it is that you’re writing and what it is that you’re copy&pasting?

Re: How do I embed QuickTime movies?
Sorry, Walker:
txp:wlk_qt Error: video=19. No image or file with this id is stored in txp.
is generated when I use this:
<txp:wlk_qt video=“18” autoplay=“false” bgcolor=“black” postermovie=“19” pmtype=“image/quicktime” />
and my (seemingly) functioning entry looks like this:
<txp:wlk_qt video=“18” autoplay=“false” bgcolor=“black” postermovie=“19” />
Certainly there is some mistake on my part.
19 is the correct txp id of the image I am using.
In Firefox, Netscape and Safari (Mac, obviously).

Re: How do I embed QuickTime movies?
hmmmm……well….first thing, I think I just copied the video error message when I was building the postermovie functionality.
So, it’s probably still a problem with the postermovie.
I’ll take a look at the code again.

Re: How do I embed QuickTime movies?
Hi, I’ve used your excellent plugin on a couple of sites now.. on this particular one, the customer wants to associate more than one movie with a single article… I created a second custom field called video2, and added
<txp:if_custom_field name="video">
<txp:wlk_qt autoplay="false" />
</txp:if_custom_field>
<txp:if_custom_field name="video2">
<txp:wlk_qt autoplay="false" />
</txp:if_custom_field>
to the article form. But, what I’m seeing is the same video (the first one) twice on the page. I was immediately reminded of this little bug.
As it happens, I had already uploaded the new taghandlers.php (because of the file download issue).
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Re: How do I embed QuickTime movies?
Hmm…..well…technically that bug isn’t the cause of the “same url” thing you’re seeing with my plugin. I’m not using file_download to feed the movie out anymore…..(I don’t think?)
Okay….I just looked through my code…..it’s my fault. there’s a bug.

Re: How do I embed QuickTime movies?
Yo, I just updated my plugin (I rearranged an if:else statement).
Two movies (or more) per article works now….except you need to make sure that you are not using the javascript option (that still can only do one per article).

Re: How do I embed QuickTime movies?
Wow, thanks for your quick response! I guess I’m doing something wrong, because I’m still getting the same result.
