Darwine, OS X 10.5.2, Apple TV and Sky Player

@lex · Post by **@lex** » Tue Apr 21, 2009 8:11 am

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to get Sky Anytime/Sky Player working on OS X (running on an ATV) 10.5.2 - I installed the stable version of darwine (1.0.1) - got around the obstacles of installing .net, IE 6 and wmp11 (as it's required by Sky Player) - Sky Player seems to run 2 other .exe in the background "KHost" and "KService" ... however, when ever I launch the sky player I can only ever see "KHost" in the process list - I never get the GUI to come up either ..
The darwine log to this occassion :

=========

Any clues as to what to do or what might be missing ? I suppose KService wants to run as a 'windows service' which might not be possible - but maybe there are 'options' i can start the service before trying to launch Sky Player ?

Any help would be much appreciated!

You need something much newer then that. Wine-1.0.1 has all sorts of problems with .net.

well, i tried darwine 1.1.19 first, but pretty much with the same result unfortunately ...

I found this:
http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-re ... 81820.html

how do i tell wine to use the native file ?? do i have to take it off a win xp machine and replace the one in .wine/drive_c/windows/system32 ?

alex

@lex · Post by **@lex** » Tue Apr 21, 2009 5:29 pm

right, well -did replace that file and set the file rpcrt4.dll to 'native' .. now I get the following instead :

err:service:service_control_dispatcher failed to open service manager error 1722
err:process:__wine_kernel_init boot event wait timed out

result: absolutely nothing happens, the KHost.exe just quits after the "wait timed out" message

--

so, with the 'real' dll it fails to start 'anything' - with the 'wine dll' it crashes .. maybe i am missing some other 'native' ones ?

any clues / hints / pointers / etc. ?

alex

@lex · Post by **@lex** » Wed Apr 22, 2009 5:18 am

i believe i get that 'time out' because the rpcss.exe (rpc service) cannot start - when i try to start it with 'wine rpcss.exe' i get this output :

rpcsserr:process:__wine_kernel_init boot event wait timed out
fixme:ntdll:NtCreatePort (0x115e78,0x32fd10,188,256,0x0),stub!

--

Also, i've replaced 3 rpc*.dlls with the native windoze ones and configured those as 'native' via winecfg ...

You copied way too much of windows. None of that have a chance to work on Wine now.

Why can't you use any other native media player to play video from the net?

Microsoft with WMP 11 (and backported to previous versions) introduced a form of DRM that cannot be used on any other media player and has openly threated any of the others with long days in court both in the US and EU under the DMCA and its European counterpart.

In other words, Microsoft found the goose.  Now it has to keep on laying the golden eggs.  They are trying to make it so that you have to have a Windows license to play media.  Some companies have bought into this as it makes copying their material very hard if not impossible (you cannot replay stored information on your hard drive.)

@vitamin - unfortunately James is right - Sky only supports wmp11 and its special DRM stuff - so running wmp11 is essential ...

right well - i suppose i have to start from scratch again ?

I could just copy those .dlls back (as i have backups) and go back to the error rpcrt4.dll is causing ...

anyone maybe have a 'to do' list to get .net 2, wmp11, ie6, rpc working on wine-1.1.19 ?

thanks ! helps' much appreciated and am sure there loooaaaddssss of people waiting for a working solution and get sky player running ....

Then you out of luck. It will not work EVER on Wine no matter what you do.

It does things that just can not be emulated/worked around/fixed in any way shape or form. The simple fix - don't use that site. And demand Linux & Mac compatible solution.

That means 'we are thinking about it only if we can impose our wishes on you'. In some cases, you will see something but in most cases this means you will never see anything.

There are many things that are different between a standard Linux install and MacOSX. Most of this revolves around the broken X11 that Apple provides. There is supposed to be a major bunch of fixes in with XQuartz 2.3.3 to help with some of the issues. This release is still pending completed testing and bug fixes.

You can try and use the Mac specific version of Unbuntu, but I have no experience with this product.

.NET 2.0 works on Wine. It depends on the program as to how well.
WMP 11 will never work on Wine unless we duplicate exactly one of the available Windows products. Then the lawsuits will start flying...
IE6 will work on Wine using winetricks. Most programs will accept Gecko with the work around in Winetricks to set a couple of registry settings.
RPC is a work in progress. It is also one of the most messy protocols out there.

Don't know about that statement. You are the first to ask for assistance. You may have to go to the Applications Database and find out what was done to get this working under Linux.
