Can't run VLC with wine

Submitted by Mogaba on January 21, 2008 - 4:13pm

I have next problem when trying to run VLC with wine in Suse 10.1:

fixme:win:SetWindowTextA setting text "VLC Media Player Portable | PortableApps.com" of other process window (nil) should not use SendMessage
fixme:win:SetWindowTextA setting text "VLC Media Player Portable | PortableApps.com" of other process window (nil) should not use SendMessage

err:module:LdrInitializeThunk "libvlc.dll" failed to initialize, aborting
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"Z:\\home\\Vovan\\Documents\\VLCPortable\\App\\vlc\\vlc.exe" failed, status c0000142

wine version is 0.9.11 release 7.

Please, help me out.

Unfortunately its simple

VLC doesn't run under Wine :(
(it says it right at the bottom of the VLC page)
But Suse has VLC installed by default I think.

I see, thanks

I see, thanks

Not worth it anyway

I got it running under WINE in Kubuntu 7.10, but it was very unstable, didn't display the video properly, and played the video too slowly. Most Linux distros have some universal media player installed by default anyway.
