GomTV via VLC (Chrome Extension) - Page 10

Open Terminal, you'll be entering all the commands in the quotes.

First, we need to install Wine

sudo apt-get -y install wine


Then, we need to install the GOM Player

cd ~/Downloads
wget http://software-files-l.cnet.com/s/software/11/65/48/99/GOMPLAYERENSETUP.EXE?e=1300194368&h=e9d31d08ccd13b621b106b23b9670b17&lop=link&ptype=1901&ontid=13632&siteId=4&edId=3&spi=c7500b638ecf8cecf7ecffcb98150797&pid=11654899&psid=10551786&fileName=GOMPLAYERENSETUP.EXE
chmod +x GOMPLAYERENSETUP.EXE
wine ./GOMEPLAYERENSETUP.EXE


Then, we need to add video/audio dependencies to make sure GOM Player works

wget http://winetricks.org/winetricks
chmod +x winetricks
sh winetricks d3dx9 d3dx9_28 d3dx9_36 d3dx10 d3dxof devenum dinput8 dirac directmusic directplay directx9 divx dsound ffdshow quartz xvid


And finally we need to create a wrapper and URI handler for Firefox/whateverbrowser to understand that we want GOM Player to open the stream.

sudo echo '#!/bin/sh/' > /usr/bin/gomplayer
sudo echo 'exec wine "C:\\Program Files\\GRETECH\\GomPlayer\\GOM.exe" "$@"' > /usr/bin/gomplayer
gconftool-2 --set --type=string /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/gomcmd/command '/usr/bin/gomplayer "%s"'
gconftool-2 --set --type=bool /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/gomcmd/enabled true
gconftool-2 --set --type=bool /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/gomcmd/need-terminal true


That's it!

During this process the main GOM Player installer window will appear as well as a few other installers. Follow the setup process as you would normally do on a windows computer. There should be no video or sound issues encountered.
