Re: I don't get Quicktime to run under LC 6.7.6

[panagiotis merakos]

Hi Tiemo,

The previously suggested solution will not work. But in LC 6.7.8 RC1
(released yesterday) you can set the dontuseqt for the player object. So
this will work:

on preopenstack
   put the filename of player "myPlayer" into tOldFilename
   set the filename of player "myPlayer" to empty
   set the dontuseQT of player "myPlayer" to false
   set the filename of player "myPlayer" to tOldFilename
   [...]
end preopenstack


Another solution that will work in LC versions before  6.7.8 RC1, is to
delete and recreate the player on preopenstack. This will force the player
to use QT from the very first time your stack is loaded:

on preopenstack
set the dontuseQT to false
put the rect of player "myPlayer" into tRect
   put the filename of player "myPlayer" into tOldFilename
delete player "myPlayer"
create player "myPlayer"
set the showcontroller of player "myPlayer" to true // This is needed
because the newly created player has no controller
set the filename of player "myPlayer" to tOldFilename
set the rect of player "myPlayer"  to tRect
end preopenstack



Best regards,
Panos

AW: I don't get Quicktime to run under LC 6.7.6

[Tiemo Hollmann TB]

Hi Panos,
Thanks Panos, but that didn't worked.
I found a workaround. If I create a splash stack, where I set dontuseQT to
false and go from the splash stack to my real stack then QT works correct.
But I didn't found a trick to get it to run in the first stack.
I will file a bug.
If anybody gets another idea for a workaround I would love to test it

Thank you Panos,
I tested the first approach with 6.7.8 and it works perfectly!

I don't get Quicktime to run under LC 6.7.6

[Tiemo Hollmann TB]

Hello,

OSX 10.9.5. Because of video file compatibility I still want to use QT in
6.7.6. In preopenstack I set:

set the dontuseQT to false

put the qtVersion into tTest

In IDE:  start player "myplayer" -- nothing happens. The player runs (I get
the playStopped status after the video is finished), but doesn't shows any
video. Doing "set the dontuseQT to false" multiple times again, changes
nothing.

When closing the stack, removing from memory and reloading the same stack a
second time, everything works fine like before in LC 6.5.2, the videos are
played fine. So it seems, it has something to do with loading and providing
QT. The first opening of my stack seems to load QT, but doesn't provides it
to my stack. When opening the stack a second time, it now catches the
properly loaded QT.

In a standalone the videos are not played anymore at all.

Does anybody got QT to run under 6.7.6? Any ideas, what else I could do?

Thanks for any hints

Tiemo
