Quicktime plug-in_ El Capitan

[sandbox]

Greetings,

FYI/ I've upgraded from Mavericks to El Cap and discovered an issue that was vital to me. For some unknown reason El Cap moves these two plug-ins from the plug-in folder to the sub-disabled plug-in folder, resulting in Safari alerting me that I needed to install a Quicktime plugin.
The warning provided a link to Apple so I went to the page, but there was no plugins. I was at a loss and needed access to my surveillance systems.
An internal search led me to the <Internet Plug-Ins> folder, inside the folder was another folder <Disabled plug-ins> and there sat two that appeared to be QTime related. Needing to view my cameras I risked relocating them to the active folder and presto, back in business again.

nsIQTScriptablePlugin.xpt
QuickTime Plugin.plugin

I don't know why this happened, so subsequently I searched for more info only to discover that others have had the same experience and solution.
That made me a little better, at least confident that my Mac wouldn't over react from the switch.

If I recall, Apple and everyone else, for that matter, is moving away from plugins. See:

Chrome has QT disabled by default as well, apparently.

I don't create QT content for websites any more - don't think most people do. Gone the way of the dodo, along with Flash.

Thanks for the heads up, it explains a few questions I had. Oddly, one of the cameras, my latest purchase http://www.networkcameracritic.com/?p=2550 provided access where the cameras that were a year or older didn't. Could be a software upgrade out there I'm unaware of? One issue that became a particular problem was with Netgear's ReadyShare app. The r6300 router is better than expected but I guess their software division can't keep up. Parallels and VMWare have also been an issue.... Thanks again!

El Capitan has presented me with a few other issues concerning the System Integrity Protection (SIP) application causing issue with other programs not listed on the page I reviewed before installation of El Cap.
