--- Comment #9 from Terrance currter@gmail.com --- I hope to not get email about this issue or any issues raised over 2 years ago.
I never could get Slingbox to work on Linux even with using Wine or the Windows software interface to Linux (Ubuntu or Mint). I could not get either SlingMedia or Box client software to work needing the assistance of Wine or get the plug-in for firefox or chrome under Linux to work and I tried this for several years and was not successful so I gave up trying to run Slingbox in any form on Linux... Wine was not helpful and the support was not helpful.
I later felt no need to use Linux anyway once I got my Macbook early 2012 ... slingbox software run well on that platform at least.
I just use Linux to play around and just keep it updated and that is all.
I hope you fix all the bugs in Wine under Linux. I think I briefly tried some Wine feature on the Mac as experimental or fun but very briefly. I have managed to use bootcamp and even Virtual Box and now Parallels to run Windows under or on Mac.
I am sorry to whine but Wine has not been useful to me regarding the Slingbox issue...it would have been nice to accomplish making that work but the support was not helpful and it was too difficult and for what? just a waste of time.
