Avoid a QuickTime 7.1 / VLC embedded video issue
Authored by: ephramz on May 22, '06 11:06:27AM

I have a similar problem to Swift's where no multimedia works in Safari for me (.mov, mp3, flash, etc. ) where i get a blank screen, but they all work in FIrefox, so I have to run concurrent browsers which is a pain. Everything works fine in Safari in another user, so I assume it's something I have installed in my ~/Libraru folder, but the only thing I have is Saft and Ecamm in the Input Managers, nothing in Internet Plug-ins.

Ecamm is for iChat so I don't think causing the prolem, and I've installed Saft on other users, and Safari still works fine for them. I've uninstalled Saft on my main account and then plug-ins work, but I can't live without Saft not that I've gotten used to all its great features. I think some of the problems may have come about when I installed Flip4Mac, but that's not in the ~/Library dir so I can't imagine it could be causing the problem. I have the same config on another computer with Saft, Flip4Mac, and Ecamm and plug-ins work fine in Safari.

Anyone have any ideas what might be causing the conflict? I guess I should try uninstalling Flip4Mac as that's the most suspect of the lot.

Thanks for any help!

Oops, never mind, figured it out. somehow the "Enable plug-ins" was unchecked in this user's Safari prefs, which was the problem. I don't believe I unchecked it myself. Felt like some SAFT, Flip4Mac, or Safari update did something to it, but can't be sure.

Overlooking the obvious....
