theora - Jul 2009 - Does XiphQT plugin work in Safari?

Hi,

I am trying to display a HTML 5 page with the <video> element and an  
OGG video in Safari.

I use the sample video posted here:
http://camendesign.com/code/video_for_everybody


My sample page works fine in Safari 4.0.2 when I supply the MP4 video  
along with the OGG video:

<video width="640" height="360"
controls="controls" autoplay="autoplay">
	<source src="video_for_everybody.ogv" type="video/ogg"
/>
	<source src="video_for_everybody.mp4" type="video/mp4"
/>
</video>

Since I have installed the XiphQT plugin, I thought the page should  
also work, if I only supply
the OGG video:


<video width="640" height="360"
controls="controls" autoplay="autoplay">
	<source src="video_for_everybody.ogv" type="video/ogg"
/>
</video>

Unfortunately, the video works now only in Firefox.


Does the XiphQT plugin not work in Safari at all, or are there some  
settings that I can adjust?

TIA,
Werner

If you try it without the type="video/ogg" does it work?  If so I 
_think_ this is a known bad interaction between the mime type mappings 
of the XiphQT plugin and how WebKit gets its mappings for video 
support.  I believe that it's fixed by hard coding some mime types in 
the WebKit nightlies which means it will likely be fixed in a later 
Safari release.
