Hi, I'd just like to share this method of getting Veetle to work on 64 bit Mint 13 in Chormium – a quick disclaimer first though, I have no real idea why this works and none of it is my work but rather copied from other sources – all I know is that Veetle HD is working now, and for the time being that's good enough for me.

 

The steps I used were:

 

  1. apt-get install ia32-libs and ia32-libs-multiarch

  2. Download Veetle 0.91.17 Plus.tar.gz (5,8 MiB)

  3. Unpack Veetle and cd into the new folder

  4. mkdir -p ~/.mozilla/plugins

  5. cp *.so ~/.mozilla/plugins

  6. mkdir -p ~/.veetle_vlc

  7. cp vlc vlcori ~/.veetle_vlc

I should also add that I have previously installed the veetle downloaded sh file, which reported that it had worked and I could view HD on the Veetle web-site, this didn't work as when I tried to view Veetle I was shown the "downlooad veetle hd" file. And only when I followed steps 2 through 7 did it actually work when I restarted Chromium.

I not sure if step 1 is needed as I got this step from another source that seemed to think that it is necessary and the steps 2 through 7 are from Marc Rochow at http://www.gironimo.org/netzwelt/howto-veetle-ubuntu-64-bit-installieren.html so big thanks to him, and I hope this works for you too.... GoodLuck
