CrossOver Support - Community Forums

I am trying to get a Spotify link to play from Firefox browser.

On the web I found instructions that include creating a script as follows
echo '#!/bin/sh' > ~/.browser2spotify
echo 'exec wine "C:\Program Files\Spotify\spotify.exe" /uri "$@"' >> ~/.browser2spotify
chmod 755 ~/.browser2spotify

Web page is http://heratech.net/blog/sham/spotify-under-wine-linux-cant-open-spotify-links-firefox

What is the Crossover equivalent of exec wine?

Thanks

Hi Keith,

Really depends on whether you installed in your $HOME dir or into /opt -- a mainstream
wine install will (typically) end up putting wine in your $PATH...but with crossover...

[installed in homedir, presuming CXO]

~/cxoffice/bin/wine

[installed in /opt, presuming CXO]

/opt/cxoffice/bin/wine

Cheers!

Thanks

I can now click on a spotify link in my browser and have it play the music.

Just some additional info for future reference:

If you have a default bottle configured in the Manage Bottles window, then the "naked" wine command will use that.

If you don't have a default bottle configured, you have to specify one by adding "--bottle <bottle name>" to the wine command that Don listed. If the bottle name contains spaces or punctuation, you have to escape or quote it so it survives shell evaluation intact. Usually, the easiest thing to do is surround it with single quote (') characters.

That holds true >provided< you don't have wine pure in your path, and because I
have, I automatically assume every other linux user has as matter of course,
hence the penchant to example full commandline paths. B^)
