Problems running "VUDU To Go"

[jsabatke]

Wine: wine-1.7.2
OS: Suse 13.1 32 bit

I'm new to Wine, so there is a possible this is a newbie problem.

I am desperate to get the VUDU to go program working. I am trying to register my BD collection into the VUDU cloud while there is a half price sale for online sales. My Windows XP will NOT recognize my new BD drive, and I've tried "EVERYTHING" online for drivers, etc. I almost never use Windows and it would cost me more to upgrade than to pay full price for adding my movies to the cloud. Linux recognizes and reads the BD drive, but I can't get the VUDU program to run properly.

One problem, which probably isn't the one keeping the program from adding movies is that some text, notably all "spaces" and "user input text" are displayed with a strange character that looks like a white box, with a black oval, and a white 'X' in it. Most text is displayed properly.

There are no messages that I can see in /var/log/messages or any other file in that directory.

When i first run "VUDU" with this command: wine /windows/Program\ Files/VUDUToGo/VUDUToGo.exe
as either my user or root, I initially get the following to the shell:

linux-lj1l:/home/jim/bin # ./vudu
fixme:ole:RemUnknown_QueryInterface No interface for iid {00000019-0000-0000-c000-000000000046}

The disk appears to read briefly and then there's no more activity. The program just hangs until I press the "cancel" button. Then the following is displayed in the shell:

fixme:wininet:IsDomainLegalCookieDomainW (L"vudu.com", L"my.vudu.com") semi-stub
fixme:wininet:IsDomainLegalCookieDomainW (L"vudu.com", L"my.vudu.com") semi-stub

fixme:wininet:IsDomainLegalCookieDomainW (L"vudu.com", L"my.vudu.com") semi-stub
fixme:wininet:IsDomainLegalCookieDomainW (L"vudu.com", L"my.vudu.com") semi-stub

Web searches return nothing useful.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Jim

I registered just so I can work with you on this.

I am currently running VUDU To Go through VMWare via Unity mode (Unity makes it appear to be a native window) and it plays fine. I can't test the Disc to Digital because my external drive isn't with me right now. I haven't tried that function yet in this setup. Might work for you though. I know it's not running under Wine, but it is a workaround. I am actually trying to get VUDU To Go set up with Wine because the VMWare setup is cumbersome and can't do HD due to lack of HDCP support. Hoping I can get HD to work under Wine, but I doubt it. Would still be nice to skip the step of launching VMWare and booting Windows in it.

I might be able to help if I can get at least to the point where you are. How did you get VUDU set up in Wine? I can't seem to get anywhere because it won't install Adobe Air and doesn't recognize it's there if I install it manually.
