Fine suggestion, but
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... n&iId=3330
shows it doesn't work yet.

For what it's worth, this is one of the apps Maarten is working on,
but no promises.

Read the entry for Windows Media Player in the AppDB. 9 works quite good, 10
works but is a bit unstable last I checked. You need to follow a few simple
steps.

I'm having the same problem on Fedora 8. I just get a message that in internal error has occurred.
If anyone has an answer in simple English I would appreciate your help. For those of us steeped in Microsoft garbage we need a little hand holding to smell the sweet scent of Linux

Cheers All

What are you after a media player inside Wine for? VLC for Windows is
pretty much identical in interface to VLC for Unix - and also does
plugins for Mozilla, don't know about for IE.

In the first place I need a media player in wine to run an ebook which is part text and part audio, it's meant for windows but I want to run it on Linux, it's much to expensive to buy a different format version, I loaded it but it will not use the audio player native to Linux Ubuntu, when I loaded wmp 10 the path was there but the player wouldn't open, "an internal error occurred" , when you open the program and select a book a small window opens to tell you which audio player is set to run the audio, without a player in wine it tries to open the audio with Adobe, no good, when I had wmp 10 installed the window said it would open the book using wmp 10 BUT the player would not run.

I'm afraid, due to my ignorance the rest of your post makes no sense to me at all, I'm just not up with all the computer jargon yet.
What is VLC ??.

VLC is a really nice little media player that does just about every
format there is. It's my favourite media player on Windows and Mac.
(On Linux I prefer Amarok.) It'll be available from your Linux
distribution's repository, or you can download a Windows version from
http://videolan.org/vlc/ . I dunno, you might be able to get it to
work with this other app!

Try Windows Media Player 9, as Alex said.

I just fixed the problem I was having which sounds like yours. If you go to the AppDB for media player and follow the "How to" correctly it will work. Being new to this site I didn't even see the "How to" bit, it is under the list of known bugs.
Just copy jscript.dll as described (the .Wine directory is hidden so open your home folder and press CTRL + H to view hidden files)
Open terminal and type in regsvr32 jscript.dll and Hey Presto, Media player now works for me

Hope this helps

G'Day :: Well I tried VLC , it works fine but the program does not open with it, I tried WMP 9 BUT when I tried to insatll it I'm told a newer version exists??? then I thought I'd uninstall the program and reinstall it but no good it's not on the uninstall wine software list ??, Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I had that problem too. I tried uninstalling wine and mucking about in the registry but in the end I had to uninstall Wine, delete the .Wine folder (hidden folder in your home folder) and reinstall everything from scratch. It didn't take too long but you must copy the jscript.dll file and run the registry file to make it work.
By the way if you still have one of the versions of Media Player installed running the jscript file afterwards should work too.

Hope this helps

Uninstalling Wine doesn't do you any good. Remove ~/.wine directory - that's all you need. Wine will re-create it clean.
