(I think others may have mentioned this elsewhere, but there were also problems viewing it at first.)

Hey people, what the heck is going on ? Whenever I go to the link above and click on the "Quicktime" link it goes to a download link and says file not found ??

Apparently I can run anything from the QT site yet videos in iTunes run just find, I have downloaded and updated everything I can find yet QT won't play.

I have Mac OS X 10.3.9.
 
i don't know why that is, but just FYI, the keynotes are the only thing i've ever seen in this Quicktime streaming format, which is completely different. it's very processor intensive too.
 
I don't know why it won't work for you but here's the embedded URL to paste into Quicktime

rtsp://a2047.v1411b.c1411.g.vq.akamaistream.net/5/2047/1411/2_h264_650/1a1a1ae454c430950065de4cbb2f94c226950c7ae655b61a48a91475e243acda3dac194879adde0f/mw_2006_3_650.mov

Streams very well for me but takes about 45% CPU on a 1.4GHz G4 :rolleyes:

Ah, interesting. I tried what you said and found the same problem... but, err, you want to click on the blue "Watch the Keynote Address" button under the picture instead, anyway. Try that and see if it works. Regardless, Captain Code has given you the URL for the direct link to the video anyway. One of these two proposals should work. :)
 
The link does not show for me and when I use the link for QT I get an error 404, I think its a file not found.

I guess Apple just hates me !?!?!?!

THANKS anyway !!!
 
HOLLY COWABUGA !!! Apple doen't HATE me -- that's strange !?!?!?

I got the rtsp link to work !!!!!!

If you leave a return character at the end it reports, "file not found".

Haven't they heard of perl for fixing things like that ...

Hunh, they did fix the "Quicktime" link here which now goes to the right place. I sent them a message about this two or three days ago.

But I still can't see the link in the page above and I can't stream any movies trailers.

Only the link provided works, thanks Captain Code !!!
 
How really odd! Can you take a screenshot of what you see on the web page? It sounds very strange that links would be randomly missing and I'm wondering what it could be!

Here is how it looks from where I see it ...

I looked at the HTML code and could not see anything unusual of course if they ARE singling people out they would probably hide that in a java applet.

Its probably just a spec thing but according to the specs 10.3.9 and the latest QT are supposed to support streaming, and that is what I have, yet it is all blocked for me.

I wonder if its because I have downloaded the iPod updater but have not updated it yet ???

That wasn't it !!!

I also tried deleting QT and reinstalling it with the standalone installer.

The only streaming that works on my MACchine now is iTunes, although if I have the link then QT also works.

I believe this has happened to me before in the past and it was when the OS was updated and I had not bought it yet.

And it was the same thing, the QT specs said I was OK but streaming from the browser did not work.



Update 1/26/06: I finally found the question answer section of Macosx.com so I have submitted my question, if you guys find a way to hack this out, then I will post a link to the solution here.

ITS FIXED NOW: Apparently it was a corruption of the com.apple.Safari.plist file but that conclusion is NOT definitive -- refreshing it did restore Flash and QT streaming. Here is the link to the long version of the answer to my problem ...

Apple sent me my new MacBookPro to me in Afghanistan to my APO address by using http://www.apobox.com This company was super quick. APOBox gives anyone with an APO address a address in the US. With the US address I could order my MacBook and send it to my APO. They then forward it to your APO address. I use it with any online company that does not sent to APOs to send packages to my APO address.... DZ
