Why would you want to install directx? Wine already has one.

Because Wine's is highly imperfect, and games keep asking for it.

However, the answer is "no, you can't install Microsoft DirectX in
Wine and have it work properly." If something using DirectX 9 doesn't
work in Wine, please file a bug. If you can track down what functions
are missing from the Wine implementation, so much the better.

Frameworks like .NET 1.1 and .NET 2.0 do install, but don't work all
that well. Mono 1.9 also installs as a substitute for .NET 2.0, and
works better where it works, but Mono 1.9 remains very incomplete
itself (and Novell don't consider missing functions that affect real
apps to be reportable bugs o_0 ). In general, if you need a framework,
try installing it and see if it (a) installs (b) works. If not either,
please file bugs.

Aha, a bug! Please launch it from the command line (inside the
application directory) and let us know what it produces as output.

What Wine version? If it's not wine-1.0-rc2 - upgrade.

Mmm... Maybe you can just try and use linux native players? Like Mplayer, Xine, GStreamer... ??

What about avc support?I have some hdtv .mkv files with avc encoded video.

Mplayer and vlc dont display video,only sound.

Native Linux players are best for playing videos. You say you got sound but no video with VLC and MPlayer--that sounds to me like you're missing a needed codec. You need to consult your distro's support forums for how to fix that.

Getting back to trying to get Blaze HDTV Player running under Wine, open a terminal, cd to the directory where the executable is located, and run it with the command:

Code: Select all

wine program.exe

(substituting the actual name of the executable for "program.exe".
Copy whatever messages appear in the terminal and post them here.
