MediaPhile Software Installation Guide
All MediaPhile users should read "NOTES FOR ALL SYSTEMS" located at the end
of this file.
Floppy Disk Systems:
1. Prepare a MediaPhile Amiga workbench disk startup sequence by
running the "FloppyStartup" program on the "MediaPhile_Devs"
disk, or by entering the following assignment statements into the
workbench startup sequence in the file "s:startup-sequence" yourself.
path ram: c: sys:utilities sys:system s: sys:prefs add ;set path for Workbench
;
;MediaPhile Startup Sequence Starts Here
resident c:Run pure
Assign libs: MediaPhile_Devs:libs
Assign devs: MediaPhile_Devs:devs
Assign sys: MediaPhile_Devs:
Assign fonts: MediaPhile_Devs:fonts
;Use MediaFiles Assignment Statements If You Wish To Store Your MediaScripts
;On Your MediaPhile OR MediaProcessor Program Disks
Assign MediaFiles: MediaPhile:MediaFiles
; Assign MediaFiles: MediaProcessor:MediaFiles
;MediaPhile Startup Sequence Ends Here
;
LoadWB delay ;wait for inhibit to end before continuing
endcli >NIL:
Now the system LIBS:, DEVS: and fonts: volumes will be on the
MediaPhile_Devs disk, and the "Run" command is made resident in RAM.
2. Boot the system with your MediaPhile Workbench disk in DF0:
(the internal disk drive). Follow the system requests for disk
insertion.
3. Insert the MediaPhile_Devs disk in the second disk drive for two drive
systems when it is requested . If you are using a single drive
system replace the Workbench disk in drive DF0: with the
MediaPhile_Devs disk when it is requested.
4. Replace the Workbench disk with the MediaPhile disk after the boot
startup procedure is complete . Open the MediaPhile disk icon by
clicking twice with the left mouse button. Run the MediaController
and MediaEditor programs by clicking on their icons.
Amiga 500, 2000 and 2500 Hard Disk Systems:
1. Boot the system from the hard drive.
2. Open the MediaPhile_Devs disk and click the "Install_DevsHD" program
icon. Wait for the install program to copy the "devs/media" directory
files from the MediaPhile_Devs disk to the Hard Disk "Devs:media"
directory.
3. Click the "Install_LibsHD" program icon on the MediaPhile_Devs disk
and wait for the install program to copy the MediaPhile libraries
to the Hard Disk disk "libs:" directory.
4. Run the "Install_MediaPhileHD" program located on your MediaPhile_Devs
disk. This program creates a directory drawer called "MediaPhile"
in the "Work:" area of your hard disk to hold your MediaPhile programs
and files. It creates sub-directories for the "MediaPhile:" and
"MediaPhile_Devs" disks under the "Work:MediaPhile"directory and copies
the entire contents of the disks into their respective directories.
5. Modify the Hard Disk "Startup-Sequence" program found in the "s:"
directory by adding the statements
path .......
;
;MediaPhile Startup Sequence Starts Here
assign MediaPhile: Work:MediaPhile/MediaPhile
assign MediaPhile_Devs: Work:MediaPhile/MediaPhile_Devs
;MediaPhile Startup Sequence Ends Here
;
LoadWB delay ;wait for inhibit to end before continuing
endcli >NIL:
6. Reboot the system and run any of the programs in your MediaPhile
directories.
Amiga 3000 Hard Disk Systems:
1. Run the "Install_MediaPhileHD" program to copy the contents of
the "MediaPhile_Devs" disk and "MediaPhile" disk to the work: area
of your hard drive.
2. The Amiga 30000 Workbench hard disk partition
does not have enough room to hold the MediaPhile devices and
libraries as it is shipped from the factory. Therefore, the active
devs: and libs: areas must be located on the work: hard disk volume.
Run the Install_3000HD program located on your MediaPhile disk to copy
the files in your workbench devs and libs directories into the
"Work:MediaPhile/MediaPhile_Devs" devs and libs dircetories. This will
make all of the device and library files that you have been
using up until now available to the system when the active devs: and
libs: areas are re-assigned to the work: volume.
3.Next modify your hard disk startup sequence as described in item 5
above. For the Amiga 3000 include the additional MediaPhile assign
statements below:
assign DEVS: Work:MediaPhile/MediaPhile_Devs/devs
assign LIBS: Work:MediaPhile/MediaPhile_Devs/libs
This will assign the system LIBS: and DEVS: volumes to
"Work:MediaPhile/MediaPhile_Devs" libs and devs directories when
the system is booted up.
NOTES FOR ALL SYSTEMS:
Some programs and utilities conflict with the normal operation of the
MediaPhile system. The following is a list of programs known to be
incompatible with the operation of MediaPhile programs:
SetCPU SetCPU is a public domain utility and is distributed with
all GVP accelerator boards. Any version prior to 1.60 does
not allow MediaController to run from its icon.
MediaController can be run from either MediaEditor or
the CLI. This utilitiy may also cause MediaProcessor to
crash on start-up. Look for SetCPU to be run from your
start-up sequence when the system is booted up. Remove
versions earlier than 1.60 from the start-up sequence.
Versions 1.60 and later are compatible with MediaPhile
programs.
Grabbit This hot-key activated screen grab program will prevent
MediaController from running. If you need to run
MediaController and Grabbit at the same time, run
MediaController first before loading Grabbit.
