Description Doug McMahon 2012-07-27 18:34:18 UTC 
This applies to online videos & locally stored .mov, .mp4  files dropped into a browser window like firefox.
Only audio, no video
Totem itself will play these files as will the plugin in 3.0.1 & earlier

Online test for .mov, direct link

    browser-plugin: Fix MOV streams with hidden video
    
    We would treat MOV streams with no set height as "audio-only" because
    the undefined height (-1) is smaller than the smallest our controls bar
    can be. This code has apparently been broken since 2008, and nobody
    noticed?
