I've just installed this module relatively successfully on a site I'm working on, but when testing it by uploading a video, the video (a QuickTime movie) appeared with no sort of player controls at all. I checked to see if there was some sort of parameter I could alter in a template file (after reading the issue about disabling autoplay, which I'd also like to do), but I didn't see any in the page source.

Does anyone know if there is a way to get this module to display the player controls for QuickTime movies?

Same this for me. The video controller does not show up, or sometimes it appears in part but is not clickable (in Firefox). And in Chrome the video does not play.

It looks like there is a div above the player and the controller bar, blocking access to the controls.

Changing this to a bug.

Looks like browser issues in whole or in part.

Chrome Mac dev does not show the controller and can't play the video.
Firefox 3.6rc1 does not show the controller completely but video can be played.
Safari Mac does show the controller and does play the video.
[edit] IE8 Windows 7 does not show the controller but video can be played.

I'll try to see if the HTML have anything to do here or if it's plainly the browsers who have issues.

[edit] Well in Safari using a MOV file the controller is hidden but not for a WMF... OMG, the controller did not display because the object height was too small for the OBJECT.

We need to be able to define the height, not only the width.

See this:

...for a discussion about height to display the controller bar.

Agreed - we DO need to be able to specify the height - but really it should just be 16 pixels more than the height of the movie for Quicktime.

See this thread: http://drupal.org/node/675132

I had to specify a ratio of 80:62 for 640x480 movies to show the whole controller. Of course that doesn't work for any other size movies...
