It DOES NOT use the QuickTime Plug-in at all. The second instance of the same video file uses the HTML 5 video tag. Firefox demands that QuickTime be "activated" on every play and does not begin playback until the entire file has been downloaded (no progressive streaming aka fast start) but FF does eventually play it. Chrome refuses to play it at all saying that this (QuickTime) Plug-in is not supported. My laptop, also on OS X 10.10.3, DOES play this video. My desktop computer (OS X 10.10.3) gets a Plug-in failure error message with Safari. The one that requires the QuickTime Plug-in uses modern CODECs (H.264 and AAC) so " legacy" CODECs are not the issue. H.264/AAC - uses QuickTime Plug-in embed code: I have even attempted to replace the QuickTime Plug-in with a copy of the same file from my laptop.
I have fiddled with Security Safari prefs to no avail. I have booted into recovery and run every corrective measure I can think of (permissions, disk repair, etc.). Thus, its clear to me that the problem is specific to my desktop machine. Since Safari 8.0.6 under OS X 10.10.3 is my primary web browser on my desktop system and I am getting the Plug-in failure error message whenever I encounter video instantiated with QuickTime embed code, my question is how do I correct this situation? My laptop does not display this issue even though it also uses Safari 8.0.6 under OS X 10.10.3. Safari: On some current systems, Safari will throw a "Plug-in failure" message and refuse to play the video. FF will make this demand for every instance.
After doing so, FF downloads the entire video before beginning to play.
