After seeing how well it worked for
Brian (bma), I decided to buy my own copy of
the Crossover plugin. Movies play fine in my browser (Galeon), and the independant player works great as well. The only installation issue I had was with the QuickTime 5 installer; Enlightenment maps the full-screen override-redirect above the setup window, with no real way to raise it. The solution? Temporarily allow WINE to manage all it's windows, instead of deferring non-full-screen windows to the window manager. You can do this by commenting out the line that says "Managed" = "Y"
in your Crossover WINE configuration file (usually $HOME/crossover/dotwine/config
). Incidentally, this same fix also works for cranky Windows installers in standard WINE.
