The following has been tested with Wine 3.0-rc4 under Linux. If you are having trouble, make sure you are using the latest version of Wine.
You should now have a working Slingplayer 2!
Note: For remote viewing, you will need to have a working SBProfile.xml from the previous 1.X version of Slingplayer (or a local machine, or a Windows box) and drop it into ~/.wine/drive_c/users/Public/Application Data/Sling Media/SlingPlayer/2.0/ (this directory can vary depending on your Wine version - the same is true in Windows). If you are located on the same logical network, Slingplayer should be able to pick up the Slingbox itself (via broadcast) and this stage may not be required.
Note: HTML components (such as the login page and the Setup Assistant) do not work at the time of writing.
Note: IES4Linux or IES4MacOSX are not supported. Report bugs to their maintainers.
Note: As of Wine 1.5.6, Mono is favoured over dotnet. If you are using Wine <1.5.6 then you will need to install dotnet.
Please note that "Clip+Sling" may not be available in your area (for legal reasons).
This has nothing to do with Wine.
If you experience an assertion failure while the SlingPlayer is loading, issue the following command and try again:
winetricks orm=backbuffer

When I look in the Slingbox Directory, I see my slingbox (old Slingbox Pro). If I have GUFW set to deny incoming, it says it is "Internet Access." If I allow all connections, the light next to the box turns green and it says the slingbox is "Available." Adjusting the rules in the GUFW to allow incoming from the slingbox port over TCP and UDP doesn't seem to change that. Perhaps I'm missing something?
Even still, allowing all incoming traffic doesn't let me view the slingbox stream. When I click on the Slingbox and hit Edit, then click on the Information tab, I can see everything about the slingbox. However, if I try to connect to it, I get the following pop-up errors:
1) There was a problem communicating with the slingbox. Try connecting again.
2) Failed to start the renderer. (Context: 0, Operation: 1041, Error: 0x80040154)
I don't really understand the bug reports work or how they apply. They make it seem like the Slingplayer doesn't work at all. Any advice on what to try next to view my slingbox? I'm only interested in local viewing.

You may need to also install wmp9 with winetricks as I have just discovered I have to.
