The Ultimate Multimedia Player for eComStation - Part 1: Installing WarpVision on eComStation

By: Steven Douglas Taylor



First get Netlabs Warpvision latest and stable versions at: ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/wvgui/wvgui_latest.zip

Unzip both in a dir or a WarpVision folder

Get ODIN from HERE:

Install via Warpin--just double click on the wpi!




 * When getting to the Packages screen just install these two selected and checked marked items:
 * Odin Weekly Build ( 16 Jun 2004) (V0.5.691.0, 935 KB)
 * Odin Weekly Build System Files ( 16 Jun 2004) (V0.5.691.0, 3,286 KB)
 * Don't install these: Win32k.sys or .sym files

Reboot

Get Wincodecs HERE
 * Be sure to read the READ.ME file for wincodecs.
 * DO NOT PLACE THESE FILES IN YOUR WARPVISION DIRECTORY.
 * Just make a WinCodecs folder or directory for them separate from the WarpVision directory.
 * Just unzip them by ArcView and extract them to your [C:\]ODIN\SYSTEM32 directory.
 * Then rename system.ini in the root ODIN directory to system.org.
 * Then copy system.ini in the [C:\]ODIN\SYSTEM32 directory to the root [C:\]ODIN directory.

Reboot

Get libc06r1.dll from HERE Unzip and copy libc06r1.dll to your [C:\]OS2\DLL directory Reboot

Optional WarpOverlay, a must install in my honest opinion. Get if from HERE After you have downloaded it, double-click on Overlay1_0_5.exe in the directory you saved it.

The following are the screens you will see..just proceed through them to install WarpOverlay:













This is a demo version that only works for 15 minutes, then will blank the screen. You must to register it, so it will not blank out after 15 minutes. Its just US$10, so please register it at Mensys! They will email the registration key file to you, just read the readme and install it.

Reboot

Just run or double click on video2.exe in the directory where you unziped the WarpVision files.

Thank You!
