install app named descript

Post by BajzraPadma »

So I installed wine to run a windows app named descript
For this app to run it requires you to log in to an account though browser
But when I try to log in, The browser fails to recognize the log in window the app just created. I get the error of

Code: Select all

The address wasn't understood
So please help me out

This is caused because the browser is trying to redirect to a url that looks like:

Code: Select all

descriptbc:///auth0/authorize-callback?code=abcde
, and Descript isn't registered to handle it.

I found a workaround: Open up devtools (F12), reload the page, and on the Network tab, find where the url that it is trying to connect to (it will start with descriptbc).

Then run this command: exec wine "/path/to/Descript.exe" "/url" "descriptbc:///url/goes/here"

Not that this helped me much. Descript is now crashing for me as it tries to boot.
