Linux HLS Installation

Linux HLS Installation

HLS runs under wine. To install, simply extract the zip file and run the HLS.exe with wine:

unzip HLS_Install_6E.zip -d /path/to/HLS
wine /path/to/HLS/HLS.exe

Things tested under wine on a Debian 6.0 "Squeeze" system:

• Audio Playback
• Basic Sequencing
• E1.31 output
• Display Preview (without images, only drawing channel vectors)
• Custom effects
• Saving/Loading effects to libraries
• Saving/Loading channel layouts to libraries
• HLS's automatic check for a new version

Not Tested under wine:

• DMX/Renard output
• Over effects
• ???

Note: Prior to version 6B of HLS, the audio waveform display did not work correctly in wine. Joe updated the function call from PatBlt to a vector line draw which fixed the waveform display in wine.
