I'd like to get http://www.bbc.co.uk/cbbc/games/doctor-who-game working on my son's Slackware 64bit PC with multilib. It uses the Unity3D web player which I understand should work on linux using pipelight, as described here: http://fds-team.de/cms/pipelight-ins...ml#section_1_7

I followed the pipelight installation instructions on AlienBob's page, using his packages, and enabled the plugin. It all seemed to go well, but the Dr Who game and the Tropical paradise demo kept saying my browser was unsupported. The solution was to change the platform as described in section 1.2 here: http://pipelight.net/cms/installation-user-agent.html

This solved the unsupported browser issue, and the unity web player installer .exe now downloads and firefox offers to run it in wine but when I click OK nothing happens, and there's no obvious way to read error messages (if they exist) for clues. I noticed it was using my default installation of wine, rather the customised wine-pipelight, and I tried pointing it to wine binary supplied with wine-pipelight, but that didn't seem to help.

Any ideas?

Before activating the pipelight plugin, check your running processes and make sure there is no wine process active. Even though wine and the patched wine-pipelight are using separate configuration directories, they are both wine. I noticed that they can not be used at the same time because one influences the other.

Thanks Eric, not just for that suggestion, but also for providing the packages and very clear instructions on pipelight that have got me this far!

I wiped the installation and started over and made sure only wine-pipelight was used, which was the case:
silverlight and netflix are working fine, so it seems to be a problem with installing the unity3d web player. A dialog window pops up and says it is configuring under my user's .wine dir and afterwards I can see it was indeed trying to install something in that dir not .wine-pipelight. I've tried searching the web but I've not found a problem like this yet - just reports that unity3d webplayer was working well in linux a few months back.
