, any required components will be
automatically downloaded the next time they are needed. After a download, you don’t have to
restart your computer—just close the browser.
Firefox users will also be prompted to install additional components the first time you launch
a stream—if you are configured to receive these download components. Links for the
appropriate stream types (MPEG-1/2/4 and/or WM) will be displayed in the area where the
embedded player is normally displayed. These additional plugins
must be installed. You will
also be required to install an additional plugin when you use
Add Video
for the first time (if
you have permission).
For Macintosh PC users , the Portal Server may need to download components to your
computer the first time you access the server. If so, the Home page (see Figure 1) displays a
link prompting you to download components that are appropriate for your computer. If you
agree, these components are automatically installed and no additional download is necessary
for subsequent access.
For Linux PC users , the Portal Server may need to download components to your computer
the first time you access the server. This can only be performed by a system administrator.
See "Installing Linux Components" in the
Portal Server Release Notes .
