![]() Here's the embed code the site is using: Rudimentary troubleshooting such as using compatability view does nothing. How can I tell IE9 to use the proper plugin? I have Flash installed and updated to the latest version. It has flash videos embedded but for some reason the Quicktime Plugin, not the Flash plugin, is being used to play them (which obviously doesn't work, and Quicktime throws an error). I hope this is being looked at for a Windows Update for Win7 and/or as a fix for Windows 8.I'm trying to view this page in IE9. This may be an overly-agressive tactic on Apple's part, or an honest bug on their part, but either way, I consider it a bug in Windows 7 that it even provides a way for a rogue app to hijack a browser MIME type like this and affords no UI (thatĪctually works) for the user to manually rectify the problem. The ONLY way I have found to get IE9 to launch WMP to play an MP3 file is to completely UNINSTALL QuickTime. Yes, this is even after logging off and back on or rebooting the system.ĭisabling the QuickTime browser plug-in results in IE9 just showing a "broken red-X" icon when you click on a link to an MP3, so even that old trick doesn't work anymore. ![]() To an MP3 file in IE9 results in the QuickTime browser plug-in playing the file. Even after using the "Default Programs" control panel to force Windows Media Player to take the file associations back, clicking any link The instructions provided in this thread simply do not work with Windows 7 圆4, IE9, and QuickTime 7.7. Shutting off the Quicktime extension in IE does not revert to the previous behavior, it instead throws a red X box with a complaint that the extension is disabled. Does anyone know where the proper registry key store is for this? Quick rooting around in the registry didn't elucidate anything obvious under Internet Explorer's entries. This is wrong, and I suspect that Quicktime "doesn't know" where the proper MIME associations are stored in the registry, and thus is "falling back" to the operating system file type associations - so it SAYS it isn't the player for embedded MP3s, but it is. But on Win7, they don't - they both open the file associations dialog from the operating system. On Win7, it appears to be impossible and this is a major problem because Quicktime has a hissfit with some of the sizing parameters I send down on that "sound" call, producing a non-functional display (never mind that most people WANT Windows Media Player for that function and Quicktime ONLY for things that WMP CAN'T handle.) I noted that on XP Quicktime's "Mime type" and "File association" settings went to DIFFERENT places. But if you load Quicktime, even if you de-select MP3 files from its settings as an association and it shows as Windows Media Player, IE redirects it to Quicktime! Quicktime has always been VERY aggressive on "stealing" file associations. This should (and does on a Virgin WinXP, Win7 or VISTA system) bring up WMP. One of the more useful ones is "sound", which embeds a call to the user's browser to bring up their default media player in the current message. I have forum software that has multiple "embedding" options for various types of media files, that then display on the user's browser.
