Media Player 9 Crashes (Wine on Ubuntu 13.10)

[mandomadman]

Upon selecting and opening a song (File->Open-> (e.g. mp3) in Media Player 9 a program error box is reported. "wmplayer.exe has encountered a serious problem and needs to close." Song never plays or makes sound. Note: Playing test sound in winecfg does play test sound with no issue. Note: Media Player was installed using Media Player in Winetricks. I have installed all codecs available in Winetricks and confirmed that System32 directory has the files for playing mp3 files per earlier reports.

System Setup: Wine 1.6.1 running on Ubuntu 13.10 (64 bit) on System 76 Leopard Desktop. Original Prefix was created using WINEARCH=win32. So Wine is running (supposed to be) in 32bit mode.

Please advise of possible solution.

Attached is the error report from the Media Player:

Unhandled exception: page fault on write access to 0x78db0be0 in 32-bit code (0xfff0e483).

Your backtrace shows that you have also installed native IE. This should not be needed for WMP, and due to the many overrides needed for it, installing it is not recommended.

Please reinstall to a clean wineprefix. If that doesn't fix it, upgrade to 1.7.9; I just tested WMP9 in that version, and it works fine.

[mandomadman]

Thanks. I completely removed wine. Upgraded to 1.7.9 release. Configured as a 32bit architecture and Media Player is working just fine. Thanks for the help. Sure wish there was a way that every time something goes south I don't have to delete my .wine directory and reload ALL of my windows related software (e.g. Office, etc...).

[dimesio]

Experienced users install their apps to separate wineprefixes. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#wineprefix
