I wouldn't trust anything from these types of sites. If you can't watch a video just by watching the flash stream, find another site or just forget about watching it. Here's a list of channels, although I don't know how current it is:

Thanks i've been watching my favourit soccer games from all over the world on (Firstrowspots) for more that 5 years on win and on Linux and i never had problems so far and is the best site for my favourit games(soccer).i don't watch nothingelse,
i have a win vista ops machine that i run the firstrowsports APP and it makes it easier to get to get to the games without having to open extra pages that have nothing to do wirh the game,are just publicity advirtizers,
on linux since i don't have that APP is hard to get in but with pacience you can

You ask why not use the Win vista machine? cause the only PC out of three i have this one i can watch the Games in HD when is available.

Re: Wine software for linux?

you're running an old version of wine, the latest is 1.4.1.

Also try the development version 1.5

THanks Mad_professor: i can get the firstrowsports APP, what i can't do is to download the Flash player to run the sports games within the app,
you think 1.5 wine will run the win flash player?

Somtimes you have to make a decision. If there is a program that you MUST have, and it only works in WIndows, then you need to use Windows. You could try running a copy of Windows as a virtual operating system.

For myself, there is only one program that fits this bill. Years ago I purchased a CAD program named Chief Architect, and it cost about $1200. I have the plans for my home remodeling drawn with it, so I keep a working copy of Windows just for that.

That reminds me, where did I put that hard drive with windows on it? Damn, I can't find it!!

Oh well, I'll survive.

I don't know, you have to test it inorder to know for sure, I'm doing the same thing with mythtv and different types of tuners, trying all the versions of mythtv none of them work right above 0.24, because mythtv is phasing out analog support, and running older versions on newer kernels becomes a problem when it throws errors compiling, not to mention tuner support is hit and miss. I'm looking for a hardware encoder that support closed captions and that's like a needle in a haystack.

I recommend virtualbox, if you do go that route.

Re: Wine software for linux?

Thanks guys Today red on some blog that this guy was runnig wine and flash player on
KUBUNTU 12.4 kde so maybe i misunderstand him, so had a ISO cd of Kubuntu and there you go wiped out linuxmint14kde and installed kubuntu, so far i like it for better
it has Q4WINE on the repositories so i loaded up ,also uploaded the firstrowsports up but this time this Q4WINE presents me with a window ,see pic;is this Q4wine to run if you have win also installed or where i go from here,

Re: Wine software for linux?

Kubuntu and Linux Mint are the exact core operating system, they just use different desktop environments. Instead of doing a fresh install, you could of just installed the KDE packages.

You're on one part i tried Lubuntu 12.04 but it looked good til i got dowm to cofig stuff i could not mirror monitors on 1920x1080 i couldn't get my hd tv show pic since i'm not very savey on this i took the easier route and got back to Linuxmint14KDE. it gets everything done for you from the start, that's what i lke,
although i like google browser and in mint14kde , i don't know how to get it ,that's the only thing that i don't like other than that i'm happy with it,and should never left.well trying don't hurt, and i'm gonna forget this wine thing, the more you dig the more you tend to mess up special if you know litle like me.

Re: Wine software for linux?

The picture you uploaded shows that you should fill out the paths where various files are, so it knows where to find them. This is good.

Yesterday I installed Crossover Office v11.3.1 from CodeWeavers (version 12 phases out support for my MS Office 97). Office 97 under Linux -- not perfect, but not bad. Clearly they put a lot of effort into their software, and it's pretty good.

Different solutions (virtual machines, whatever) may have different problems to overcome. Official support for your Windows program (or very, very strong self-help boards) are very important here. It's hard to do your own support to make something work.

If you need to keep a Windows machine around, it is not the end of the world. Hopefully you'll find one that's pretty fast and pretty cheap (or maybe you have one already).

Good luck!

Re: Wine software for linux?

When using Debian or it's derivatives (Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Lubuntu, Kubuntu etc) you should get to know the Synaptic Package Manager. Use it for all installation/uninstallation of software. You can search for the application you want, and it will provide anything that matches.

Sometime cutting edge software is not in the repository. Then you can add a PPA, if one exists for the software. I again suggest you not do this until you are a more experienced Linux user.

Thanks TimeRetire; for the Links i'll give it a try, but i'm afraid that will mess my set up,will it? in the past i've tried some restricted repo and the outcome was to have to re enstall OPS linux, maybe i did not follow the instruction my fault, thanks.

Re: Wine software for linux?

First get used to using the Synaptic Package Manager. It is in the Menu under Administration (usually). Install something like the music player Audacious, it is a Linux version of WinAmp. Just select audacious, and let it select all of the dependencies. Click "apply", and let it install it.

Time2Retire: you talking about these package? But there are so many or is justy one line

Re: Wine software for linux?

You don't need a PPA to install KDE! Forget I even mentioned anything about a PPA. You don't have enough Linux experience to do customizing.
