directv player

[bettylou]

Hi,

wine-1.7.10

Directv has a new (streaming) online player. To work, "it must be installed on Windows... blah, blah, blah"

I have Firefox for Windows installed in Wine. Flash is also installed (a prerequisite). I also have hal installed and working for similar flash-based proprietary streaming content (like Amazon video). Directv has a player http://www.directv.com/entertainment/player, filename: DIRECTV_Player_9.2.exe

running
$ wine DIRECTV_Player_9.2.exe
starts the installer which checks for flash, creates an msi named 'DIRECTV Player.msi' in a sub-directory* of the .wine/users/bettylou/temp directory, then immediately runs it. The msi installer promts the user to accept the EULA and, shortly afterwards, it crashes.

*The sub-directory {D209EC5F-F057-4508-9345-6895D4F28F62} was created in my instance.

I can navigate to .wine/users/user/temp/{D209EC5F-F057-4508-9345-6895D4F28F62} and run
msiexec /i 'DIRECTV Player.msi'

This also runs the msi up to the point of accepting the EULA then crashes shortly afterwards:

Code: Select all

$ msiexec /i  '/DIRECTV Player.msi'

I tried a few different approaches with the msiexec commands, e.g. /qr, ACCEPT=YES. So far, I have not had any luck.

Any ideas?

Don't know if that's the cause of the crash, but you definitely need to fix that.

Hi,

Thanks. Fixed the libjpeg problem. Still can't install. Here's what I see now:

I am very rusty on my Windows administration skills but it seems to be a registry problem:
err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {6c736db1-bd94-11d0-8a23-00aa00b58e10} not registered

Any ideas? Prhaps a registry hack?

Sorry, a little research reveals that the class is vaiec.dll, which is not actually needed.

Still stumped.

[dimesio]

File a bug.

[bettylou]

I found a fix.

It turns out the directv player isn't needed. Flash is all we need. But... it was necessary to change the default Flash player settings: Hardware acceleration-unchecked.

I'm not clear on how to mark the topic solved.
