Hello!
Internet Explorer 8 works as expected! But the only reason I need it is because my DVR uses ActiveX!
IE wont install the activex cab so I have to do it manually. I extracted HiDvrOcx.cab, getting the following files:
- AudioPlayer.dll
- HiDvrMedia.dll
- HiDvrNet.dll
- HiDvrOcx.inf
- HiDvrOcx.ocx
- hi_h264dec_w.dll
- lib_VoiceEngine_dll.dll
- Portuguese.dll
- Russian.dll
- SimplifiedChinese.dll
- Spanish.dll
I used POL_Wine regsvr32 HiDvrOcx.ocx and got the following:
[POL_Wine] Message: Running wine-4.0.3 regsvr32 HiDvrOcx.ocx
regsvr32: Successfully registered DLL 'HiDvrOcx.ocx'
[POL_Wine] Message: Wine return: 0
For the rest of the DLLs I used: "regsvr32 /n FILE.DLL", not sure if this is right, but "POL_Wine regsvr32 FILE.DLL" (with and without the /n switch) crashes.
There is an INF file, so I also tried: "POL_Wine rundll32 setupapi.dll,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 128 HiDvrOcx.inf"
[POL_Wine] Message: Running wine-4.0.3 rundll32 setupapi.dll,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 128 HiDvrOcx.inf
[POL_Wine] Message: Wine return: 0
and copied all the DLL files to windows/system32 directory.
I also tried the "emulate a virtual desktop" option with a higher resolution.
I also installed NVIDIA 32 bit compatibility drivers.
I also installed mesa-dri-drivers-21.3.4-1.el8.i686.
I also tried Internet Explorer 6 with the exact same results.
I also tried many Display options.
I also rebooted ...
But I always get black windows instead of live streams, the same goes for recorded streams. But my network monitoring applet shows activity
I also tried a live record from the DVR homepage and downloaded it. Playing it with ffplay shows the stream, so it seems the DVR Active X is working as expected but IE8 is just not showing the streams. Maybe I need an additional component? WM9? any codec? directx? the component list is huge.

Any help is really appreciated, I am so close to make it work.
Thank you.
PD. My system:
- Centos Stream 8
- playonlinux-4.4-2.el8.x86_64
- winetricks-20191224-1.el8.noarch
- NVIDIA driver version 390.147
