MediaCoder Installation Guide for Linux Using Wine

If you're looking to run MediaCoder on your Linux machine, this guide will walk you through the process of installing and setting up the software using Wine.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, it's essential to note that MediaCoder was tested on Ubuntu 7.04, but it should also work on other Linux distributions as long as Wine can run on them. Further additions and actualizations may be edited if needed.

Installation Steps

This guide was brought to you by Thibeaz and expanded by SirAuron using the workarounds in the thread 'MediaCoder on Linux/WINE'. To start, download MediaCoder from the official website and extract it into the MediaCoder folder.

If you encounter an R6034 error after trying to start MediaCoder, don't worry! You can resolve this issue by downloading the modified manifest file. To install it, simply follow the same steps as before. Make sure to choose the Windows version when downloading.

MediaCoder Premium

Keep in mind that MediaCoder Premium has all available features and the limited features of MediaCoder. It may take some time for MediaCoder to start (approximately 20 seconds on my machine), but this is normal due to the absence of the usual Firefox popup.

Firefox Requirement

To run MediaCoder, you'll need to download Firefox as it's a requirement for the software. You may need to select 'show hidden files' during the download process.

Recommended Settings

It's highly recommended that you leave all settings as they are, as this ensures you can easily find MediaCoder in your applications list. After installation, you can find MediaCoder either in Applications -> Wine -> MediaCoder (Ubuntu) or in your user folder.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you encounter any issues during the installation process, try right-clicking on the installer and going to the properties section of the menu. From there, make sure that exe files are associated with Wine by selecting the 'Open With' tab and choosing Wine as the default application.

With these simple steps, you should be able to successfully install MediaCoder on your Linux machine using Wine. If you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to ask!
