Hello there

I need to assign the PlayOnLinux protocol to PlayOnLinux. Can someone advise on how to do that?

(http://www.playonmac.com/en/commentaires-1043.html) is where it was causing me some problems.

Thanks

I understand another thread said I needed "gconf" installed, but I'm not sure what that is. I see a lot of applications called "gconf".

gconftool-2 -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/playonlinux/command '/usr/bin/playonlinux %s' --type String
gconftool-2 -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/playonlinux/enabled --type Boolean true

Hello

Thanks for your reply. I typed those in but nothing happened. Tried restarting my browser and clicking it again but nothing.

Thanks

Same here, the above fix did nothing, still refused to open file with error it was unrecognized. I've confirmed I've got gconftool-2 installed, confirmed there is a playonlinux file in /usr/bin/playonlinux, confirmed i've got the latest version of PoL, and quit out of X and restarted, still get an error clicking the url saying there's no program associated.

found a secondary fix here:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Register_protocol#Firefox_3.5_and_above

This sends the url to playonlinux, then playonlinux responds with error:

"There is nothing installed to run .php?id=236 files." (the end of url link to the file.)

I then tried copying the source code and saved it onto my computer and ran it as a local script. It complained that the script wasn't signed, because it's just a text file I grabbed off the net.

then after I told it to continue anyway it just closed and didn't run the script at all.

I would rather have another option in PlayOnLinux under the tools option that says something like "download a script via URL" it's simple, it works and it doesn't require buggy dependencies.

I appreciate what you guys have done for the linux gaming community, I'm hoping to be able to switch my main computer over to linux completely and this program is getting me close. thanks!

Does playonlinux http://url work? If not, it is a regresion of 4.1 version and I have to fix it

Edit: Oh yes I remember now. It is "playonlinux-url-handler" you should run!

Ok I did what you said (btw its listed in the bianaries file as "playonlinux-url_handler" missed it several times.)

anyway I ran the command and here was the result:

$ /usr/share/playonlinux/playonlinux-url_handler "playonlinux://www.playonlinux.com/repository/download.php?id=236"

    self.frame = gui.POL_SetupFrame(os.environ["APPLICATION_TITLE"],str(pid_to_open),top,left,str(pid_to_open))

The command never popped anything up, tried running it with and without PoL running. It also never quit by itself, I let it run for several hours before Ctrl+C'ing it. Any ideas? Thx for the help btw.

It is a bug. I will fix it in 4.1.4

Ok, it should be fixed with PlayOnLinux 4.1.4 on GIT

gconftool-2 -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/playonlinux/command '/usr/bin/playonlinux %s' --type String
gconftool-2 -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/playonlinux/enabled --type Boolean true

add attributes to about:config firefox
network.protocol-handler.expose.playonlinux -> Value -> false

add a program playonlinux-url_handler

Hi,

When posting steps, please spell out in more detail what we're supposed to do with the different pieces.  It took me much longer than it needed to for me to figure out what to do with what different programs in order to use your helpful info.  A little more info would've been hugely helpful to this Linux novice.

Thank you for your work.

i have managed to solve problem

Edited by pfadfaog

Seems to be tough for anyone on these boards to post their solution clearly.

Open the terminal and run:

playonlinux-url_handler http://www.playonmac.com/repository/download.php?id=1059

(whatever your patch url is)

Please note I already had gconftool-2 installed. You may need to download that.

Please assist am having this error when i try to launch the application am running:

 

Opensuse Leap 42.2

64bit.

 

Could not find any application or handler for playonlinux://www.playonlinux.com/repository/download.php?id=2537
