Quicktime Won't Play Mime Type SMIL
I was trying to stream some audio of file type .smil. The computer in question did not have Real Player installed, so the finder started a QuickTime Player to play the file. The player failed to load and play the file. In fact, when the file in question was dragged to the player, it wasn't recognized.
In the QuickTime Prefs, Advanced, Mime Types, SMIL 1.0 was unchecked. I checked it, but the QuickTime Player's behavior didn't change.
Is it the case that another player, such as RealPlayer, must be installed to play those files? Or is there a way to get QuickTime to play them? Or ... ?
(Sorry, I don't know the version of Quicktime - whatever was available along with the 10.4.3 update, I'd guess.)
