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.
