I have tried.. no luck... I got some xml error, installed msxml4 onto my wine install and it still won't work. I've made wine emulate winxp, win2k3.. no luck yet.
Anybody else? Anybody at Sling got any ideas? Maybe it might be easier for you guys to build a windows application specifically targeted to work on Wine or Crossover and Windows both.. or maybe a firefox plugin?

Anybody tried this? run windows slingplayer on linux using wine or crossover?

Did you install Mono? I believe the Slingplayer uses the .Net framework. Emmanuel > Control 5 devices with one Slingbox - check out: http://lazybastard.ehuna.org/archives/000139.html

I've been looking at this. The sling player almost runs, but it appears to require IO Completion ports and there is no code to support this in current versions of wine.
I found some patches that attempt to implement it, but wedging this into the current wine release is proving to be difficult for me, especially with only limited time.
Still, I think there is hope that this might work soon. I'll keep working on it.

I worked on this a while back.
I managed to get SlingPlayer 1.0.3.96 to unstall under Crossover 5.0.1 running on Fedora Core 3. I installed as an unsupported application in a Win2000 bottle.
The Sling setup would run, and it could see my SlingBox, but it would error with something about all components not registered. I suspect it was looking for Media Player.
I guess the next step is to figure out how to get Media Player installed into this bottle. A future project...

Check out this page. I don't run Linux, but it looks like a pretty good tutorial.

Tried those instructions on a few different Ubuntu machines..was never successful.
We really need a linux client.

yeah the cyberpunkcafe instructions worked great but for some reaon in ubuntu i had to go through the whole installation and run slingplayer as root but it still worked.
i needed no other software other than ubuntu, wine, the ddl's and slingplayer
i assume it has somthing to do with users groups and permission but never looked into it
just ran it as root
hope that helps

Hi all!!
I got my Slingbox up and running on my sister's XP laptop yesterday so figured I would spend Sunday trying to get it running under Ubuntu!! Well, I finally got it going, however, its choppy as all get-go.
Also used Cyberpunk's installation instructions. Under Ubuntu (at least under Hardy Heron) you need to take one step further where you register the DLLs and do it through the menu option that is installed under Applications/Wine. I had followed the instructions to the letter, but when I tried running the install it crashed on me. When I ran the "menued" Wine Config they were nowhere to be seen. Once added again I closed Wine Config and started it again and they were there. Now I could run the installation process just fine!!
After installing the program I noticed the choppyness and tried playing with the options. It got a little better, but it still stutters about every 10 seconds.
Anyone have any suggestions on how to get smooth playback through the Sling Player using WINE??
FWIW: My desktop is a Celeron 2.5ghz w/1.5gb memory.
