A few months ago, I tried to get Datakam Player (Registrator Viewer) to work on my Linux system using wine, without success. I have since installed a newer wine, and it now starts and can open the files created by my dashcam, but it does not play them - the video area remains black, there is no sound and the speed and location displays do not change. Short of trying an even newer wine, which might be more difficult, is there anything I could do to possibly make this work? Currently using wine-1.8. -- Phil Reynolds mail: phil-wine at tinsleyviaduct.com Web: http://phil.tinsleyviaduct.com/ Waltham 66, Emley Moor 69, Droitwich 79, Windows 95

If there is no missing dependency, it does seem easiest to try again with a development version of Wine (i.e. 1.9). If using a development Wine doesn't solve the problem, see: https://wiki.winehq.org/Bugs Regards, Florian
