# Player Example
## Overview
Prepare the Remotion monorepo, launch the player example app, and open the served URL in the Codex in-app browser.
## Workflow
1. From the repository root, run:
```bash
bun i && bun run build
```
2. Start the player example:
```bash
cd packages/player-example && bun run dev
```
3. Keep the server process running and read its output for the local URL. The expected default is `http://localhost:3000`, but follow the printed URL if Next.js chooses another port.
4. Open the URL in the Codex in-app browser. If no browser tool is available yet, use `tool_search` for the in-app browser control tool, then navigate to the local URL.
5. Tell the user the player example URL and whether this is a newly started or already running server.
