Re: How do I embed QuickTime movies?
Since TXP uses, amongst other code, regular XHTML, you can easily put the code you need for your Quicktime movie into a TXP page. Or even into a form.
I have the feeling that this s not what you wanted, though, can you detail your question further? If you’re looking for special TXP tags for Quicktime, there are none. You can, however, upload movies into the database just as you upload pictures, though you need to change some settings for file types and upload limits.

Re: How do I embed QuickTime movies?
Embedding QT into my Textpattern pages is HUGE for me. I wonder if we could convince Michael Bester to create a plugin similar to the Kimili Flash Embed for Textpattern since it works so darn well.

Re: How do I embed QuickTime movies?
This is just a snippet I have used for video avi files, followed by two methids for QT.
<code><embed style=“margin-left: 70px” type=“video/x-ms-asf-plugin” pluginspace=“http://www.microsoft.com/windows95/downloads/contents/wurecommended/s_wufeatured/mediaplayer/default.asp” src=“http://your_absolute_path_to_file” name=“mediaplayer” showcontrols=2 showdisplay=0 showstatusbar=0 autostart=0 width=“437” HEIGHT=“373”></embed></p></code><br/><br/>
<code><object classid=“clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B” codebase=“http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab” width=“600” height=“416”>
<param name=“src” value=“movies/your.mov”>
<param name=“controller” value=“true”>
<object type=“video/quicktime” data=“movies/your.mov” width=“600” height=“416”>
<param name=“controller” value=“true”>
<p>Error text.</p>
</object>
</object></code><br/><br/>
<code><object type=“video/quicktime” data=“some_poster_movie.mov” width=“240” height=“196”>
<param name=“src” value=“some_poster_movie.mov” />
<param name=“autoplay” value=“true” />
<param name=“controller” value=“false” />
<param name=“cache” value=“true” />
<param name=“href” value=“some_movie.mov” />
<param name=“target” value=“myself” />
</object></code>

Re: How do I embed QuickTime movies?
I’ve got a plugin that embeds QT movies in Textpattern articles or pages….. walk_qt
I’m working on making a switch on it so you can turn XHTML compliant mode on and off.

Re: How do I embed QuickTime movies?
Does this plugin suffice as a workaround to the whole IE/ActiveX deal (http://forum.textpattern.com/viewtopic.php?id=15755)? Doesn’t look like it a first glance…

Re: How do I embed QuickTime movies?
Thanks for this Plugin! I just try to setup my site with textpattern and searched for such a Quicktime-integration. I have two problems:
1. Pointing at a QT-File with video=”#ID” doesn’t work, QT shows a questionmark at the film-position after a few seconds. The generated path (…/file_download/#ID) is OK but maybe QT needs a filename with ending here? I don’t know. The generated path is OK and makes Safari or Firefox loading the movie as a file to the HD! When I give both the direkt path to the file (…/files/QT-movie.mov), both play it in the window. There seem to be a difference between both ways to adress the file. Right now I have to use the direct adressing, the generated path end in the questionmark.
2. The generated code seems to miss AUTOPLAY=“state” inside the EMBED-Tag. It is set inside the OBJECT-Tag, but not inside the EMBED-Tag. So all Movies start automatically in Safari. I added AUTOPLAY=“false” manually and it works.
One more thank you – I’m new to Textpattern and impressed about all the good plugins and the possibilities of the system.
