Bug#694526: browser-plugin-vlc: No video/quicktime plugin

[Torquil Macdonald Sørensen]

Package: browser-plugin-vlc
Version: 2.0.0-2
Severity: normal

Hi!

When I try to watch an embedded QuickTime video, I get the usual
"Missing plugin" message.

However, there is a quote from output of
"apt-cache show browser-plugin-vlc":

Npp-Mimetype: ... video/quicktime ...

so it seems that a Quicktime plugin should exists in this package.

But, in "about:plugins" in Iceweasel, there is no reference to the
quicktime video format, only alot of other video formats, which
work fine in the browser.

In Iceweasel Preferences -> Applications, there is no "Use VLC Web
Plugin" for Quicktime, as there is for the other video formats.

My vlc standalone program can play Quicktime video files.

Best regards
Torquil Sørensen
