Installing TinePlayer

Windows (Installer)

Download and run the installer exe. TinePlayer will be added to your Start menu, and any previously installed version will be overwritten. Previous settings will be preserved.

Windows may say it does not recognize the publisher. Choose More info, then Run anyway.

The installer has an option to Add TinePlayer to PATH, which is unchecked by default. Enable this option if you intend to run TinePlayer from the command line or launch TinePlayer from a script.

Windows (Portable)

There is also a portable ZIP if you would prefer not to install anything. Unzip it wherever you like and run TinePlayer.exe. If updating to a new version, unzip to a new folder rather than over top of an existing version. Your user folder (see below) can be copied over.

The portable copy keeps its settings next to the exe in a folder called user. Settings, resume positions and caches are all saved there rather than into your Windows profile, so the copy can live on a USB stick. See Where data is saved.

macOS

Download the correct Disk Image for your processor. Take the Apple Silicon one for an M1 or newer, and the Intel one for older hardware. If you are not sure which you have, check the About This Mac menu for the name of the chip.

Double click to open the disk image and drag TinePlayer into your Applications folder.

Linux

Install the .deb package with apt. It works on Debian 12, Ubuntu 22.04, Raspberry Pi OS and anything newer.

sudo apt install ./tineplayer_1.1.0_linux_amd64.deb

Replace the filename with the one you downloaded, and ensure to include the leading ./ or apt looks for a package by that name in its own sources and tells you it cannot find one.

If you are not sure whether you want the amd64 or the arm64 package, run the following in a terminal:

dpkg --print-architecture

Most desktops and laptops are amd64. A Raspberry Pi is arm64.

On Fedora, Arch, and other distributions there is no package yet, but you can build it from source.
