Additional Comments

Tried to install like described in the HOWTO and several other combinations. Nothing worked. I didn't try to build wine myself like described here: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17971#c0 NOTE: * In compare to Wine version 1.1.23 the error "1628: Failed to complete installation." happens during installation and it seems like everything gets installed - but at the end SlingPlayer 1.5.1 is unable to start saying, that is misses some "localized resources" * there was no difference with or without using native qcap & quartz

HowTo / Notes

Upgrading Wine

Upgrading Wine deletes necessary registry entries. This can be avoided by running wineboot after the upgrade, and before running SlingPlayer.

You can also disable this by running

echo disabled > ~/.wine/.update-timestamp

Ubuntu PPA causes crash

Bug #1260901 describes a bug in the Ubuntu PPA's version of Wine which causes the SlingPlayer to crash in user32. It is apparently caused by patches added by the PPA team.

Do not report this as a Wine bug.

HOWTO

Tested in Ubuntu 16.04 under Wine 3.0-rc3:

  1. Install winetricks.
  2. Run WINEARCH=win32 winetricks -q quartz
  3. Install SlingPlayer as normal.
  4. Run echo disabled > ~/.wine/.update-timestamp
  5. Run SlingPlayer.

You should now have a working SlingPlayer!

Assertion failure on old Nvidia cards

If you experience an assertion failure while the SlingPlayer is loading, issue the following command and try again:

winetricks orm=backbuffer
