Changes

This property was deprecated in version 8.1.0 due to the retirement of the QuickTime player implementation. In order to support 64-bit on Mac we have been required to switch to using AVFoundation on Mac, which does not support QTVR. In addition, the Windows player object is now based on DirectShow, as Apple have dropped support for the QuickTime libraries previously used.

Description

Use the movieControllerID property to pass to an external that needs to manipulate the player.

The controller ID is provided by the operating system.

Some externals need to manipulate the QuickTime movie directly, and do so by referencing the ID. Such externals require you to pass the ID when you use the external.
