To set up an MPEG player for Linux:

• First, download the player: mtv
  Follow the instructions to install it.
  
  
• Second, set up Netscape Navigator to use the player:
  • In Navigator, choose "Edit", then "Preferences"
  • In the left window, expand the index tree under "Navigator", then click on "applications"
  • Scroll down the list in the left window until (in the description column) you find "MPEG Video"
    
  • If the 2nd column ("handled by") says ANYTHING BUT "Prompt User," STOP. Another application is already installed.
  • If the 2nd column ("handled by") says "Prompt User," configure it to use mtv:
    To configure it, select the row with "MPEG Video," then click Edit
    On the window that pops up, the proper information for each of the following lines is denoted in green:
    
    Desc: MPEG Video
    Type: video/mpeg
    Suffixes: mpeg,mpg,mpe,mps,m1s
    Application: {path}/mtv %s
    (where {path} is this path where mtv and mtvp reside)
