quicktime plugin missing from Google Chrome

Having the same problem with Chrome, running version 39.0.2171.65 on a Macbook Pro 15" Late 2013. The Quicktime plugin will not appear in chrome://plugins no matter what I've attempted. Seemingly worked fine the other day. Since discovering the problem I've tried the following with no success:

-Full uninstalls (several times) including any Chrome preference files

-Upgrading to latest Chrome Beta

-Using Chromium (same problem in that app)

-Manually placing the quicktime.plugin file into Internet Plugins folder within App Contents

There's no manual override to force the plugin into Chrome, either on Apple's or Google's end. Seems like this should be fixable but I'm stumped. Would really love some fresh ideas to try!

Also having the same problem. Quicktime Plug in just disappeared from the list and there seems to be no way of getting it back at the moment. I've tried reinstalling Chrome, but it was of no use. Hope this problem is solved soon.

Yup, same for me.

Late 2012 Mac Mini running Yosemite 10.10.1

Worked up until two days ago, Safari, Firefox all fine. Chrome insists that Quicktime is not present. First noticed on the ITunes Movie Trailers site.

I use Chrome almost 100 % of the time and hope that this gets resolved soon.

Also tried deleting Chrome fully and re-installing, deleting local cache settings for Chrome, nothing helps.

I am also having this issue, Quicktime and Silverlight have seemed to have disabled themselves. They work fine in Firefox.

After a bit more research, it's sounding like this may not be fixable unless Apple decides to release a 64-bit quicktime plugin. Double check the version of Chrome you're on, I'm running 64-bit which is not compatible with 32-bit qt. Doesn't sound like something Apple is currently working on.

This is annoying, as Google have discontinued the 32bit version of Google Chrome, they no longer push updates to it.

I am getting the error message "QuickTime Player is required to display some elements on this page." iTunes content no longer plays because QuickTime can no longer be loaded into Google Chrome. This problem first occurred today (11/27/2014) when trying to create and view iTunes Playlist Widgets (which are similar to the old iMix playlists). I have reported the problem to PHG – Performance Horizon Group – which handles the iTunes Affiliates Program. This ruins the user experience at my www.topcatholicsongs.com web site for those who are using the new 64-bit Mac version of Google Chrome version 39.0.2171.71 (which is silently updated from the 32-bit version without warning the user). I look forward to a swift resolution of the issue by Apple.

It's the same deal for me... tried to watch the new Star Wars trailer on the Apple website and discovered I didn't even have the QuickTime plugin installed anymore. Sounds like it really is a 64-bit problem. Thank god QuickTime is barely used for anything online anymore.

Yeah its still annoying, I wasnt able to access parts of Xbox.com because silverlight doesnt work either. I dont get why Apple Trailers arent html 5 video now, would make more sense.

I reinstalled Chrome 38.0.2125.122 from a recent backup and the QuickTime plugin is active again. Whew.

I also disabled Chrome’s automatic updates using the following Terminal command:

defaults write com.google.Keystone.Agent checkInterval 0

Note that if you select the “About Google Chrome” menu item, the update mechanism will be activated anyway.

This issue has been reported as a regression on the Chromium development boards.

Silverlight is working fine for me... at least I'm able to use Netflix without a problem. You had me scared there for a minute haha

Disregard my previous comment, it turns out Netflix exclusively uses HTML5 for the latest versions of Chrome now.

I'm grateful I came across your contribution to this sudden Chrome/QT issue!

I visited sites which referenced older versions of Chrome, hoping they would allow QT plugin to stay in.

But every time I downloaded an older version, with an older version number, the file turned out to be the same new version - wierd.

I want to try the version you have and if it's not imposing, could you make a cd of it? - I'll PP shipping charges to help.

By the way, my Mac's OSX is 10.7.5 if that's helpful at all - Please let me know - I'll respect your decision either way.

Chrome has removed support for all browser plug-ins.

Um, no.

The Flip4Mac, Flash,and eMusic plugins(and others) still load in Chrome 39.0.2171.71 (64-bit) under Snow Leopard. This is definitely a 32-bit vs 64-bit plugin support issue.
