Worked for me in Snow Leopard after I rebooted (maybe it only required logout/login, but it was just as easy to reboot).

I've installed it in the library/components folder in both my root directory and my user directory, rebooted and it still doesn't work. Definitely a Snow Leopard problem?

@Andrew Weiss: You may need to copy the thing to /Library/Quicktime/

Works great, thank you making it dear developer.

It made it possible for me to play and convert some "speex" .spx audio that could otherwise only be played in VLC Player.

Super Duper!

Is this still useful with Perian supporting OGG/FLAC?

An useful iTunes applescript to fix .ogg metadata :

For the time being, to *encode* ogg, flac, etc., i would like to heavily recommend Max [http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/19873] which is free (as in beer and freedom), as well.

This is a playback component, not an encoder. I hope they'll include an encoder at some point, but it's by no means a requirement of a QuickTime component.

In the meantime, you can create ogg files using the oft-overlooked conversion features of VLC (use the "Streaming/Exporting Wizard"). These files can then by played in any QT-compatible player with the use of this component.

Encoder or no, this is a very useful component. Works great in Tiger. (10.4.6 PPC, QuickTime 7.0.4).

I'm a bit confused: shouldn't a Quicktime Component for Ogg provide an option to export to Ogg from within Quicktime Player (Pro)?
I installed Xiph QT Component 0.1.3 on Tiger 10.4.5, QT 7.0.4 (Pro) and, yes, I (QT Player, iTunes 6.0.4) can play ogg-files, but there is no ogg-entry in the export-menu of QT Player.
Also, the Info-panel in iTunes classifies the ogg-files as "Quicktime movie file".

Well it IS a Quicktime movie file since Quicktime can play it ;)

This is the first version of this component that works fairly well with streaming .ogg/icecast and Quicktime (according to bug reports on the site, getting this to work with iTunes is an Apple issue and may not be possible). Work on metadata needs to be done, as the QT player title remains at whatever was playing when first connected. Nice update!

Just to add, the stream played for about 20 minutes. Further attempts to restart the stream would result in extremely sluggish response of QT menus and occasional beachballs. It's a start, but there's more to do in this area.

Also, when the OGG file is opened in iTunes the Title atribute isn't set as the song's Name.
But it works nicer than the other plugin version. Thanks! ;)

Did not work on my Tiger 10.4.3. It just wouldn't do anything at all. Made me to switch back using the "Ogg Vorbis r45" plug-in.

Works fine here with the same setup. Read the documentantion and remove any previous/other versions of the Ogg plugin before installing thios version.
