E.3.1 Obtaining ShowMe TV Software
If you are using a Sun server, ShowMe TV is the supported movie player.
Note -
system users need to install ShowMe TV software.
For information about downloading and decompressing the latest ShowMe TV
software components, and about the user guide and the installation instructions,
consult the information at the following URL:
http://sun.com/desktop/products/software/ShowMeTV/
For software installation instructions, consult the product release notes information
on the web site.
If you do not have web access, you can obtain the ShowMe TV software (version
1.2.1) for Solaris 7 from the Solaris Computer Systems Supplement CD that
accompanies the operating environment software. Contact your Sun sales
representative to obtain the supplement CD if you did not receive it.
E.3.2 Accessing ShowMe TV Software
There are two ways to access the ShowMe TV software. The first way does not
require any software installation procedure on your part.
1. If you or your system administrator has stored the ShowMe TV player in a
mounted, exported file system, you can already access this software without any
installation. Consult your system administrator to determine if this applies to you,
and if the ShowMe TV player version is correct.
