PM123 Netscape Navigator & Mozilla Configuration
The procedure explains in details how to configure Netscape Navigator
4.x and Mozilla in OS/2. The MIME Types are the same than the ones that
can be used in Netscape 2.x, but the menus and configuration dialogs are
not the same.
To configure Netscape Navigator 4.x or Mozilla for OS/2 to use PM123 as
a helper application for M3U type playlists, you will have to add the
MIME type "audio/x-mpegurl". And for SHOUTcast type playlists, you will
have to add the type "audio/x-scpls". To add MIME Types, follow this
procedure:
- Open the Edit menu, and the
Preferences submenu. You will be presented with the
Preferences dialog.
- In the Navigator -> (Helper) Applications Category are
listed the different file types supported by your current
configuration.
- Press the New Type button and add the required
information. The screenshot below shows an example to configure
SHOUTcast.
NOTE: Netscape Navigator 4.x and Mozilla do not switch the session's
path to the EXE's path. Therefore, PM123 will not be able to find
gbm123.dll and other DLLs installed by default in the PM123's directory.
You will have to start PM123 in advance (thus preloading all needed
DLLs) or you will have to add PM123's path to your LIBPATH CONFIG.SYS.
