wine compholio 1.7.14 update today yeilds a black screen

? I had to go back to 1.7.12.1 to get it to work!!!

no response yet, maybe I can describe the symptoms differently.
When I click on a show or movie on netflix it hangs up and it never loads the film.

Hi,

I just noticed this bug report by accident, and would like to know if the problem still exists. Sorry for the late reply, but I guess noone noticed this bug report because it was assigned to the wrong project - wine-compholio is never used directly, but instead the main projects are Pipelight and Netflix-Desktop.

With which project do you have this problem exactly? And does the problem still exist after updating all related packages to the latest version?

Hi
I was wondering why no one responded since the 1.7.13 you guys jumped on
that day.
OK I guess I should post it on netflix in the future?
I reverted back to 1.7.12 and it works. I don't know what else to do
until the next version comes out.
I also may have locked the version, but I don't remember how I did that,
or if I will even see the next version update.

Please advise me what to do ?

thank you
Darin

Hi,

I have added Netflix-Desktop to the list of affected projects. (In the future I would recommend to open the bug reports directly there.)

The current version of wine-compholio is 1.7.15, so I would suggest to remove the lock, and then try to update. Most probably the problem is gone after you've updated everything - if not we'll give you some additional ideas what you can try out.

I would recommend you to backup the *.deb file you're using currently, so you can switch back to old version if it turns out that the problem was not solved yet.

To find out how to put a package on hold or remove the hold again take a look here, where everything is described very detailed:

It seems to work but I get error messages when I exit. I will see how it
goes for the next day and let you know.
Is this on a bug report that I can update?

sorry I am really still a noob.

Maybe a little less than the average windows user but still a noob.
Thanks
