Description Bryce Nesbitt 2005-10-28 17:59:18 UTC 
I encourage you to include a quicktime plugin, by default, for the supported browsers.  I found SUSE's plug support to be lacking compared to RedHat, which installs http://fredrik.hubbe.net/plugger.html.

I installed "libquicktime" from YaST, but this did not help.
I need quicktime for http://commtechlab.msu.edu/sites/aslweb/browser.htm

Stanislav, can we provide mozplugger in future versions?
Comment 2 Bryce Nesbitt 2005-10-28 20:58:37 UTC

For some SUSE 1.0 packages to install "mplayer", which is an open source video player that can do Quicktime.
Comment 3 Stanislav Brabec 2005-11-01 13:47:35 UTC 
We have a mozplugger package, which is a branch of plugger. We cannot provide MPlayer package for legal reasons (we can provide only half-functional copy and people don't like it).

But I can add lqtplay for mozplugger to /etc/mozpluggerrc.

In SuSE Linux 10.1 we will have also totem-plugin, which can be able to play it, too - you can try it from ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/GNOME/update_for_10.0/base/

Mentioned totem-plugin gives this functionality in combination with gstreamer010-plugins-good (contains qtdemux).

With the recently introduced automated codec installation things should solve itself automatically.
