I have had no experience with the Player. Does it run just Dreamcard stacks or any Run Rev stack?


There are some glitches to be aware of, but I don't use player enough to know what they all are. The main thing people complain about is that file access, both read and write, is blocked by default. This is intentional for security. To overcome that, click the Rev icon in the upper right corner of the player to show the preferences, and uncheck the last checkbox to turn off "secure mode". Player will now allow disk access, but be aware that if you run any untrusted stacks, they can mess with your hard drive. Secure mode stays off across sessions until you turn it on again. You have to set each player this way on each machine.

Note "secure mode" prevents Network Access, as well as file access.

The other thing I've noticed is that player doesn't provide any default menus. If your stack does not have its own menus, your users will have only an empty menu bar and no command key equivalents.

And there is Bug 2294 - In the Player, stacks have no "home" directory. So any of the filename, the effective filename, the long filename, ... of this stack are empty.
