Summary: Window 3.1 App needing Video for Windows fails to play videos Product: Wine Version: 0.9.30. Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-multimedia AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: cshore@wightman.ca
I have an application designed for Windows 3.1 call Expert Easy Home Gardening that only partially works under WINE. It's not an important app for me, but I'm filing this report in hopes that it will be of help to someone else, most likely for some other application.
This application tries to install Video for Windows 1.1e (which crashes with an unimplemented function error (I can attach info if desired)). Skipping the VFW lets the install complete successfully but the video functionality is unavailable, and wine emits the following error:
fixme:mmsys:mmTaskCreate16 This is currently broken. It will fail fixme:mci:MCI_LoadMciDriver Couldn't load driver for type L"AVIVIDEO". If you don't have a windows installation accessible from Wine, you perhaps forgot to create a [mci] section in system.ini
I suspect the mmsys: message indicates the culprit.
