Is this app garbage? According to:

http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... &iId=14894

it's garbage. However, others say it can be installed:

http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-927443.html


Of course, it's not that I want it installed, per se, but my library,
like others, seems to use this software. Is there a work-around or
solution?



thanks,

Looks like the installer hasn't been tested in a while. Try installing in current Wine and see what happens.

As for the WMP DRM, no, that doesn't work in Wine, and there is no workaround.

thufir@ARRAKIS:~$ wine --version
wine-1.0.1

That version is over a year old. Upgrade to the latest development release.

[dimesio]

I was curious enough about this one to download it (the library here uses it too) and try it out.

It installs and runs in 1.1.39. First you have to install WMP9 with winetricks, then set the Windows version to Vista in winecfg before running the Overdrive installer to get past bug 17622.

It installed fine for me with those two tweaks, and I was able to download and play an mp3 audiobook from my local library. But the "Windows Media Player Security Upgrade" does not work, so it will not work with DRM-protected WMA files (as I expected).

Try again, and this time use wine-1.1.39. A one-and-a-half-year-old
version of Wine isn't likely to work very well if the app got a
"Garbage" rating.

None, really. They're linked.

Actually, [email protected] isn't a list at all. It's the email
address that the forum uses when somebody posts to the forum. So, if you
post to the forum, people who are subscribed to the mailing list get an
email from "[email protected]". Conversely, if you post to the
mailing list, a corresponding post is produced on the forum.

I'll have to, I think, install wine a bit differently:

no big deal. However, as that doesn't resolve the DRM problem, I'm
not sure it would be worthwhile. Wasn't the audiobook you downloaded
a WMA DRM-protected file? Did it work because it wasn't WMA but
another variant?

The audiobook I downloaded was a set of mp3 files, no DRM. Actually, the initial download was an Overdrive (odm) file that I downloaded from the library website in native Firefox. Running that file in Overdrive caused it to download the set of mp3 files that comprise the audiobook. It went very smoothly (to my surprise). It worked because there was no DRM. Overdrive can play non-DRM WMA files--the app includes a "welcome to overdrive" WMA file that played just fine.

If your sole reason for wanting to install this app is to play DRM-protected WMA files, don't bother. WMP DRM is not likely to work in Wine any time soon, if ever.

WMP DRM is not likely to work in Wine any time soon, if ever.

It won't ever work on Wine - it checks digital signature of some system libraries which can be overridden like ntdll.dll
