Setting Up

Prerequisites

Setting Up Movie Player

Before you begin, take a few minutes to configure MoviePlayer as a standalone application.

Note: If you're running IRIX 6.3, MoviePlayer is called MediaPlayer. However, Netscape understands both versions as movieplayer in the Helpers panel. The instructions below are correct for both MoviePlayer and MediaPlayer.

  1. To check whether MoviePlayer is installed choose Find > File QuickFind from the Toolchest. (If you are running IRIX 6.2, choose Find > An Icon from the Toolchest.)

  2. Type movieplayer in the text box. If an icon appears, the application is already installed. If no icon appears, install MoviePlayer from the IRIX Operating System CD (dmedia_eoe.sw.tools subsystem).

  3. Open Netscape and choose Options > General Preferences from the Netscape menu bar.

  4. Click the Helpers tab.

  5. Click the New button.

  6. Skip the Description text box.

  7. In the Type text box, type

       video/mvptr

  8. In the Suffix text box, type

       mvptr

  9. Click the Application box to place a red check in it.

  10. Copy and paste the following line into the Application text box:

       /usr/sbin/movieplayer `cat %s`

    If you type the line, be sure to type a grave accent (`), located on the ~ key, not a quotation mark.

  11. Click OK.

  12. Click OK to dismiss the Netscape General Preferences menu.

Continue to the O2 CPU Upgrade Video when you're finished setting up.
