don't update the hash table for players we don't support
There are two problems.
1: On Safari 4 mac os x, quicktime support cannot be found for ogg.
This is fixed by patch 1 (though i'm not really sure why the patch works...)
2: On FireFox, the playback fails. It gets stuck on the null movie.
This is fixed by patch 2
Rationale patch 2: Basically, the mozilla plugins have never really supported
object well. Apple has also never really made an effort to do so for the
QuickTime plugin. Instead of stubbornly trying to to use the most efficient
and standards compliant javascript, let's use it how Apple is using it and how
they advise others to use it. That should hopefully result in maximum
compatibility.

classid to force the object to load the QT activex element, using type on the
embed to force quicktime loading for the embed under non-IE browsers. Tested on
FF 3.5, Safari 2, Safari 4 and Opera 9.6
