How to run Kodi (and Firefox) for Windows on Linux with wine.



Hello to everyone.

I’m a regular subscriber of NowTV. I like it because some good sport events. I don’t know if you already know that it does not want us to watch the NowTV events using Linux. I tried several browsers like Firefox,Chrome and Edge installed on Linux and I’ve got the error “unsupported browser” ; really it lies,because what is unsupported is the os,but they aren’t clear,they don’t tell the clear truth. You can imagine why. I will be a politically incorrect behavior ? Anyway. They want that we use Windows. But I don’t want. The Oses that I use every day are Linux and FreeBSD. I don’t want to give up by watching NowTV. I want watch it using the OS I want. I pay to watch it,they can’t force me to use Windows. I think I have only one arrow in my bow : to try to install and run Kodi for Windows on Linux with wine and then try to run Firefox within Kodi,following this thread :

I tried to run kodi for windows /the 64 bit version/ on Ubuntu 23.10 with wine (vers. 8.0.1). It has been able to install it correctly. But when I tried to run the executable directly it didn’t work :

marietto@marietto-BHYVE:~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Kodi$ wine Kodi.exe

vkd3d:errConfusedhader_parse_input_signature Failed to parse input signature. 0104:err:d3d11:d3d11_input_layout_to_wined3d_declaration Failed to extract input signature, ret -3.

someone found the same error and has been able to fix it ?
