Version 2.4 changes how .MOV files are handled. Previously, these files were played with the QuickTime browser plug-in, but in my experience it has been buggy, difficult to use, and quirky. Starting in 2.4, .MOV files are played with the FlowPlayer video player, which uses the Flash plug-in. In most cases this offers a superior user experience, including a smoother install experience if the plug-in is not present.

FlowPlayer only works, however, when the .MOV file uses an MPEG-4 codec. This is true of most newer .MOV files, but may not be the case for older ones. If you discover that one or more .MOV videos won’t play in your gallery, you can revert to the previous behavior of using the QuickTime plug-in, which should be able to handle the older codec. To make this change, execute the following SQL against your gallery database:

Code:
UPDATE gs_MimeType
SET MimeTypeValue = 'video/quicktime'
WHERE FileExtension='.mov';


You will need to recycle the application pool to force the gallery to recognize this change.

What was the original value for that? I did some testing of my site, and decided I want to restore it to the way that it was.

I don't understand. The first post in this thread describes how to get back to the original value.

What I meant, was the original value used in 2.4.

I figured it out by looking at other MimeTypeValues (MP4).

Thanks!

QuickTime browser is very tricky to handle .MOV files.Is there any alternative there?

What do you mean by "QuickTime browser"? Are you talking about the QuickTime plug-in for browsers? Can you be more specific?
