wine users - May 2006 - Getting DigiGuide to update on WINE

Hi all,

I've got the latest version of DigiGuide running under WINE on Ubuntu
(Dapper), however I have a few questions that I would like to ask.

1) I cannot get DIGIGUIDE to update the listings, I get an error
message about the filelist.dat not being downloaded. Is this a
permissions thing? If so what files/directories do I need to change.

2) At the moment I have to run DIGIGUIDE in a terminal using the
following command.

sudo wine "/home/andy/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/myTVinfo\ DigiGuide\
TV\ Guide/client.exe"

Is there a better way to run this?

Thanks in advance.

Andy

If the method used is HTTP and you need a proxy for that, there is a
registry key you have to set, the name of which I have currently
forgotten but can propably be found somewhere in the archives or on
winehq.org.

Yes.
1. Remove the sudo
2. (Assuming you use bash):
$ alias digiguide="cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/myTVinfo\
DigiGuide\ TV\ Guide && wine client.exe $@"

Put this in a startup file, there you are.

Thanks for the Alias tip, very useful. I will take a look for the
archive.
