Hi folks,
I've read through this entire thread, message by message.
I get the impression most people are resolving to accept virtualisation as the solution. As one or two people have pointed out, this requires substaintial computer resources to make it viable. One of the many reasons people switch to Linux is to have a decent OS running on older and lower spec computers. I use, for instance, a Compaq nx7010 with 1.5gb Ram. It has a centrino processor. Virtualbox is nice, but on this computer it's a dog. Makes the rest of my OS more or less useless. So for me running a VM is not the solution.
I am keen to get this working in Wine.
Am I correct in understanding that some people have got this to work, after employing various workarounds, and with some features broken?
I'll give it a shot following the instructions I found here.
Here's another hand up from a long time MM user saying I'd love to see a port to Linux. I've looked at well over 10 media programs on linux and nothing I have found gets me all that exited when considering replacing MM.
Cheers,
Inspired
