10.5: Add Quick Look support for certain file formats
Authored by: spheare on Nov 08, '07 11:33:56AM

Sweet! I was looking for a way to do this, thanks!
I noticed however that, when doing this with FLV files in QuickTime's info.plist, Quicklook is working, but Finder doesn't generate previews for the file. Is there a way to accomplish this?

Yes... I'm having problem with this, that is because some videos take longer to load the begining(like mkv and maybe flv) so quicklook abort the thumbnail generation. :( I think that this can only be solved by creating a new quicklook plugin to handle those files...

Could do us a favor and post what you added to where to get Quick Look to work with flv files?

With the Perian codecs they play just fine in QT Player, but as you know - they don't show using Quick Look.

Thanks!

Try adding something like that to the end of a plist of any application, like VLC, the application itself is not important. I'm not sure, but maybe it is possible to add the definition to Info.plist inside perian.component. something like that:

	<key>UTExportedTypeDeclarations</key>
	<array>
		<dict>
			<key>UTTypeConformsTo</key>
			<array>
				<string>public.movie</string>
			</array>
			<key>UTTypeDescription</key>
			<string>FLV Video File</string>
			<key>UTTypeIconName</key>
			<string>generic</string>
			<key>UTTypeIdentifier</key>
			<string>org.perian.flv</string>
			<key>UTTypeReferenceURL</key>
			<string>http://www.macromedia.com/</string>
			<key>UTTypeTagSpecification</key>
			<dict>
				<key>public.filename-extension</key>
				<array>
					<string>flv</string>
				</array>
			</dict>
		</dict>
	</array>

Hey this plugin is great...

You can have thumbnails in mkv if you add the mkv extension to UTI reference in Info.plist of this plugin! Works flawless.
