How do you run Homestream on Linux/Ubuntu?

[nickilf]

I've only just discovered Homestream, which runs well on Window$, but the Sony Homestream page clearly states: "Homestream works on PC, MAC and Linux computers" But there's no download link for Linux users or any further information or guidance. Does Homestream run in Wine, perhaps? Or is the statement I've quoted above simply false? Are there other Linux users out there who can give me some help?

[nickilf]

OK so to partly answer my own question: Homestream does run in Wine (I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 with Wine 1.4). Haven't tested extensively but a couple of videos played OK. But it would be nice to know if there's a native package of Homestream for Linux, or if the copywriter who put up the blurb on Sony's Homestream page was just writing rubbish (possibly indicated by confusing Windows with PC!) ....

Hiya

Yes there is a linux version - the website format is a little limiting at the moment so we opted to leave it out for now so as numbers would be quite low, but ping me a pm with your email address and I'll send you a link to it on Monday if thats ok?

Thanks

Hi all

Had a few more requests so have posted the link below. Setup guide on the Homestream page is still the same and will actually be updated in the next couple of days hopefully.

This link is stale. Where can I get a Linux version of Homestream ?

Hi, the download for that version is no longer available and what about v2.0?

Thanks
