I found a strange way to get zattoo working under 64 bit hardy together with KDE.
First, i knew i was able to get it work on another 64 bit PC with GNOME, but when starting zattoo_player under KDE on my new laptop (64 bit hardy) it refuses to work, and in the zattoo errorlog there was an entry about the wrong ELF version for libqtengine.so.
As i said, i knew it worked on another system with gnome, so I installed the GNOME Desktop on my laptop and … it worked.
After switching back to KDE i didn’t expect zattoo to work here, but when trying zattoo_player …. it worked!!!!!!
So, if you have problems in getting it run under KDE (64 bit system) you might have to install the GNOME Desktop, run zattoo_player once under GNOME, switch back to KDE start zattoo_player.

It’s a strange world!!!!

Zattoo is a great way to watch normal television on the internet… It’s possible to watch fool zattoo! With a vpn server… There are free vpn servers like cyberghost but I didn’t find a free uk server.. Anybody a free uk vpn server… And no… with just a proxy it’s not possible…

How do I “appear” to be in a listed country? Changing OS language is easy, but IP settings?

Thanks for any help.

Anyway to register/download/watch zattoo outside of the listed countries?

ade says: Zattoo checks your OS language and IP settings - So, for example if you want UK Zattoo content you need to appear to be in the UK first, THEN d/load the zattoo setup..

We can watch Zattoo UK content in Cyprus….. ! So I guess as long as you have the right settings you can watch the zattoo of your choice

US TV Content?.. hulu.com.. but you need to “appear” to be in Canada..

I have literally spent about 6 hours today trying to figure out how to make this work on my kubuntu hardy heron 64bit linux. I couldn’t get it to work with wine, or by forcing the architecture so I installed a chroot for a 32bit environment and still didn’t work with the most recent version of the software (3.20). I downgraded by installing the 3.11 beta release from a previous comment above and used it in the chroot environment and… voila, it finally works after endless hours spent on searching for various errors that it was giving me. I’m running Kubuntu so I didn’t have a lot of the gtk packages it uses so had to download them.

try running the 3.11 release, that’s my best advice, if you can’t get it to work I’ll get back to you with how I’ve done it. I look forward to a 64bit version and I’m sure I’m not the only one…

Is there any workaround to be able to watch Zattoo from the United States? I will love to be able to watch tv from Spain.

Thanks in advance
