Announcement

MpegTV has discontinued its MPEG video plug-in for Linux and Unix.

We recommand that you use Plugger, a free Streaming Multimedia Plugin for Linux and Unix Netscape. Plugger can use our MpegTV Player to play MPEG video and is functionnally equivalent to our discontinued plug-in.

Alternatively, you can setup your Netscape browser to use MpegTV Player as a helper or streaming helper.

Plugger Guide

Requirements

In order to stream MPEG video with the Plugger, you must first download and install MpegTV Player.

Make sure that the executable file mtvp is installed in a directory accessible from your PATH. To test if that is the case, type the command mtvp. You should see a window with a video animation.

You do not need to register or pay anything if you use mtvp only for personal, educational and non-profit use.
