Drive letter doesn't resolve to a path

Post by midr »

I want to use an application which calls vlc to work with movie files. The errors are then: "VLC cannot open /home/md/D:\film" and "VLC cannot open MRL /home/md/D%3a%..."

And where the logs of wine saved? I didn't find in /var/log

Is this native VLC, or did you install Windows VLC in the wineprefix?

Wine does not save logs unless you tell it to. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#get_log

Outside howtos aren't supported here, and the information on that page is 6-7 years old.

Take a look at this: http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-831a837 ... aab001a347

You could also just install Windows VLC to the same wineprefix.

Installing Windows VLC made it. Thanks for your help!
