In Chrome, .mov files don't play from Indexbit site but fine elsewhere

Viewing my website in Chrome, the Quicktimes are greyed out with a message about installing the DivX plug-in.

I've tried installing DivX but it doesn't have any effect. Uninstalled, reinstalled, restarted, still get the same message.

This doesn't happen when viewing the same file on other browsers or hosted by other websites.

Happens on this page here: mmaattiillddaa.com/films/test/

  1. This is the code I used:  <EMBED SRC="mmaattiillddaa.com/…;

To get around the problem I switched the files to mp4s, which were playing fine. But doing that somehow overrides the disable autoplay function, which is annoying on pages with more than one movie, like this: mmaattiillddaa.com/films/balloon-tunes/

  1. This is the code I used for that page:  <EMBED SRC="mmaattiillddaa.com/…;
  2.  
  1. Have also tried this code to disable autoplay:
  2.  <video controls name="media"><source src="mmaattiillddaa.com/balloontunes1.mp4" type="video/mp4"></…;

It works fine here jsfiddle.net/2k5Lyrm9/1/ but not from within Indexhibit:

Any ideas how to, either:

Disable autoplay for mp4s

Or:

Stop .mov files from being greyed out with an 'install DivX' message?

Thanks :)
