Start-UP
There are a couple of ways to start jOggPlayer
- Webstart jOggPlayer
- Double click on the downloaded jOggPlayer.jar file.
- This works with "out of the box" with the windoze and Mac OS X Java VMs and UN*X and OS/2 if you have jar file associated with the java executable.
- Double Click / run one of the included jOggPlayer script files to customize the startup
- Un*x/Linux - Shell jOggPlayer.sh and/or a joggplayer.desktop file
- Windoze - Batch jOggPlayer.bat
- Windoze NT - Batch jOggPlayer_Winnt.bat
- Mac OS X - jOggPlayer.OSX.command or jOggPlayer.term
- OS/2 - Batch jOggPlayer.cmd or jOggPlayerJava2.cmd
- OS/2 Java 2 - jOggPlayerJava2.cmd that runs it using the Java13 VM if you have both 1.1.8 and 1.3 JVM it installed. See the comments in the java2.cmd and jOggPlayerJava2.cmd file
- They should run without modifications.
- These allow the added feature of letting *you* add commandline parameters; such as specifying some ogg files or URLs to load on startup, or a directory to search and recurse to load ALL ogg files.
- behind a firewall...
- use the above script files and add the required information that I have outlined in the usage below.
- (email me if you have problems)
- directly run it as specified in the usage below.
- Double click on the downloaded jOggPlayer.jar file.
Usage:
java -classpath "PATH_TO\jOggPlayer.jar" ca.bc.webarts.jOggPlayer [file location] OR java -jar .\jOggPlayer.jar [file location] where [file location] can be: a filename a URL to a ogg file a directory name to recurse for ogg files
Firewall:
If you are behind a firewall and need to get access to files outside the proxy you have to set some environment vars before you run the jOggPlayer:
set proxyHost=myproxy.com
set proxyPort=8080
set noProxy=*.webarts.ca
set proxySet=true
OR on the commandline
Usage:
java -DproxySet=true -DproxyHost=YourProxyServerHostname -DproxyPort=YourProxyServerPort -DnonProxyHosts=CommaSeperatedlistOfNonProxiedSites ca.bc.webarts.jOggPlayer [file/URL location]
Auto Updating Version (only in 1.1 release)
This feature is deprecated... Use the Java WebStart to accomplish the same thing.
This version will automatically check if there is a newer version of the code (Jar file) on this server and download it.
If there isn't a newer version, it uses the already downloaded one on your computer.
Simply unzip the AutoUpdating zip file into your jOggPlayer directory and run
java -jar AutoUpdatingJOggPlayer.jar
or if you are behind a FIREWALL
java -DproxySet=true -DproxyHost=YourProxyServerHostname -DproxyPort=YourProxyServerPort -jar AutoUpdatingJOggPlayer.jar
