Package: browser-plugin-vlc
Version: 2.0.6-4
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

With Iceweasel 31.0-3 and vlc 2.1.5-1 I cannot always play QuickTime
videos (supposed to work since #694526 is closed). For instance on
apple.com/trailers, when I try to play some videos, I am offered to
download the QuickTime plugin. However on
http://mac.sillydog.org/qt/mov/embed_s3.php, I can play the video.

In the Iceweasel about:plugins page, I have:
video/quicktime QuickTime video mov,qt

And in the Iceweasel Preferences page I have:
video QuickTime Use VLC Web Plugin (in Iceweasel)

I tried to restart in Iceweasel safe mode, but there is no improvement.

I tried with gecko-mediaplayer and the QuickTime videos play fine.
