    I have used the Extreme Video plug in on my page to include video:

    (First post.

    Firefox doesn’t like the code it’s generating (XML parsing error is being reported). Is this problem obvious to anyone?

    I did point the Extreme Video plug-in to a different placeholder .gif on my own site, but the file is there.

    Is anyone else using this plug-in?

    I have restored all settings to the original, so I can’t be causing the problem. I think it’s a bug in the code and I’d love to look at someone else’s page who’s using this plug-in with Firefox and a QuickTime file. I don’t think it works right.

    Ack, in addition to the Firefox problem, it appears the video does not load in IE on XP.

    Again, if anyone could send me a link to a site which has implemented this plug-in, I’d be very grateful to see proof of operation.

    Short of linking to an html page with separate links for each browser, there really is no clean code to stream embedded video from WP, is there?

    I fixed the XML parsing error in Firefox by, I believe by correcting a typo in the plugin’s php file.

    This tag:

    (img src='”.QT_IMAGELOGO.”‘style=’border:0px’ alt=’Quick Time Logo’/)

    appears to need a space after IMAGELOGO.”‘ and before style:

    (img src='”.QT_IMAGELOGO.”‘ style=’border:0px’ alt=’Quick Time Logo’/)

    Inserting it solves the Firefox XML parse problem, but now the video ONLY loads in Safari on OSX. So odd.

    Again, I cry, why must it be so difficult to embed video. Lots of people want to be able to do this and only YouTube seems capable of it.

    Of course, I am evidently crying into a vacuum. Perhaps I should sign the voices in my head up for an account on WordPress forums. Then we could chat.

    Okay, not that anyone’s reading, but nevermind. I uploaded the video to YouTube and by streaming from there, the Extreme Video plug-in works great from all browsers and on all platforms.
