Please describe the issue:
Not playing the embedded .m4v files.

In this case, the embed links to two copies of the same video, but one of the links no longer works, and NoPlugin is choosing the broken one as the default:

<object classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab" height="316" width="300">
    <param name="loop" value="true">
    <param name="src" value="../../../Graphics/eccentricity/CvE_Part1.m4v">
    <param name="autoplay" value="false">
    <param name="controller" value="true">
    <embed height="316" pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/" src="../../../Graphics/eccentricity/CvE_Part1.mov" type="video/quicktime" width="300" controller="true" autoplay="false" loop="true"> 
</object>

The best solution is to update the NoPlugin player to have a dropdown menu at the top, allowing the user to go through each link and see what the browser can play. I've created a new issue for that: #78
