PM123 Netscape Navigator Configuration


The procedure explains in details how to configure Netscape Navigator 4.x in OS/2. The MIME Types are the same that can be used in version 2.x, but the menus and configuration dialogs are not the same. To configure Netscape Navigator 4 for OS/2 to use PM123 as a helper application for the usual online playlist and icecast, you will have to add the MIME type "audio/x-mpegurl", and to configure it to use SHOUTcast, you will have to add the type "audio/x-scpls". To add MIME Types, follow this procedure:

NOTE: Netscape Navigator 4.61 still has a bug where it cannot 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 to be found in the current directory. However, if a properly configured WPS object for pm123 is installed, Navigator 4 will use it. You can make one with with install.cmd.

Recommended settings

Test it at SHOUTcast or icecast!
