I corrected an obvious mistake in HTML filter settings but still, I
can't get Firefox to present RTSP through the Plone.

At http://www.brighton.ac.uk/centrim/innovationwiki/media at the time
of writing the page, portlet and test item all present movies in IE
and Safari on both Mac and Windows.

With Firefox on both platforms, none of the objects present a movie.

The same code that I pasted to the 'test' object within Plone appears
fine when _not_ served by Plone; the page referenced from
http://centrim.mis.brighton.ac.uk/research/projects/innovationwiki/media/ref
seems OK in all browsers.

On this particular Plone site I have not yet progressed to
p4a.plonevideo (might doing so resolve this issue?) -- I wanted to
first satisfy myself that I could continue to use existing RTSP
streams.

Again, thanks for any advice ...

Hi - not sure if this is the same thing but right now we found that in Firefox with the Windows Media Plug-In, videos will not play on authenticated web-sites. I looked through bug-zilla for Firefox and found a bug where the plug-in is using cookies from IE instead of Firefox. Bug#315683.

 * fine in IE
 * but not in Firefox.

In WebKit-based browsers on Mac OS X 10.5.5, both page and portlet are
fine.

In Firefox 3.0.3 on Mac OS X 10.5.5, neither page nor portlet present
the stream.

In Safari on Windows: the portlet presents the stream, but the page
does not

 * in an earlier experiment, I realised that I had not removed all
required items from the lists of nasty and stripped tags within
Plone's HTML Filter settings

 * now, unless I'm missing something obvious, I _have_ removed all
such items from the list -- and clicked the easily overlooked Save
button -- but still I have the problem(s) described in this message.

At http://www.brighton.ac.uk/centrim/innovationwiki/media/test
(excluded from navigation) I have cleanly pasted to the HTML area of
the page -- without using Kupu or any other visual editor -- relevant
unaltered code from the source of
http://www.sussex.ac.uk/Units/spru/events/KP_Conf_03/KPvideos/2003-11/videobox_1_2_5.htm
(popped up from the Mike Hobday video at
http://www.sussex.ac.uk/Units/spru/events/KP_Conf_03/KPvideos/2003-11/day_1_2.html
)

As the latter (not using Plone) is fine, I wonder what it is wrong
with Plone, or with my code/configuration, that
prevents presentation of the movie -- but (usually) only in Firefox.

TIA for any suggestions
(and apologies if this is an FAQ that's not specific to Plone).

Resolved. The issue was not related to Plone or Plone4Artists. My
mistake, I had:

* included a qtsrc attribute
but
* omitted a src attribute.
