JRiver Media Center 20.0.131 for Debian (Jessie) AMD64
« on: April 10, 2015, 11:38:34 am »

The latest build is up at:

https://files.jriver.com/mediacenter/channels/v20/latest/MediaCenter-20.0.131-amd64.deb (also in the latest apt repository)

20.0.131 (7/27/2015)

1. Changed: Relaxed system library requirements more to help with portability.
2. Changed: Changes from the main branch

20.0.129 (7/14/2015)

1. Fixed: The focus fix from 20.0.123 was incomplete and was preventing the DSP studio (amongst others) from showing properly on hover.
2. Changed: All MC windows are class hinted properly now.

20.0.123 (6/23/2015)

1. Fixed: MC will no longer take focus from other apps on state transitions (unless MC has the mouse cursor).
2. Fixed: Ratings in the Purity Skin.

20.0.122

1) Changed: Changes from the main branch.

20.0.114

1) Changed: Reduced use of system libraries.

20.0.110

This is compiled on the new (4/25/2015) debian Jessie release.
It will run on ubuntu 14.10 without needing non-ubuntu files.
It will NOT run on 14.04 (because of issues with libgnutls28). If you are using 14.04, stick with the i386 version.

For the linux specific changes see the i386 linux version announcement and for general changes see the most recent windows announcement.

Only amd64 specific issues should be added to this thread. Put general linux issues in the JRiver Media Center 20.0.xx for Debian threads.

hi there  i was wondering i am using Ubuntu and i have tried media center 20 an older version
wasn't working well
so i removed it
but now i want to try again but as you can guess trail period has ended
now is there a way to get another trail period
because i also own a pono player  ;D and pono lets me in the dark about there pmw app for linux and it seems the mc 20 also does the job
but i want to be sure before i purchase it

with kind regards erwin

I use MC on linux to copy files to the pono player. It works fine for me. You need to setup the player manually as a handheld device which may be more trouble than you are willing to go through.

Heads up, looks like libgcrypt11 isn't included with Ubuntu 15.04 by default. Have to manually download the .deb file for Trusty to successfully install MC on 15.04.

Debian Jessie is going to be released on 2015-04-25, making jessie stable and wheezy the oldstable. Maybe Bob already made plans to eventually move our builds over to jessie packages? :)
This would include gcrypt20 then, among a long list of other more up-to-date versions of everything.

That would be great. Depending on which kernel and ALSA is included with Jessie final, should be able to get DSD working too... at least for *some* DACs. Nonetheless, I added a workaround for 15.04 in the setup thread.

Jessie's been frozen for months, and the kernel will be some flavor of 3.16.  The DSD patches are in 3.19 I think, so probably no DSD this Debian cycle (at least not in stable).

It's going to be it bit difficult to determine when to update the build tree.
What do people think about forcing users to upgrade their systems to Jessie?

FWIW, Debian stable users (and I say this as someone running several debian stable systems) learn to expect two things: stability and out of date packages.

If you cut MC off at a certain version and say: versions later than this one will be available for Jessie, all earlier versions will still run on wheezy, you'll be doing no different than any other wheezy package.  People running oldstable know to expect old packages.  To cope with customer expectations, maybe make the cut at the major version number (when MC21 drops)?

By moving it up to Jessie, you'll also make life easier for folks running other distros as most of them are well past Wheezy's package versions at this point.

This is what I was thought too.

You really want to wait a couple more months for this to happen? Voluntarily? :)
For all I care, we could move the AMD64 build to jessie exclusively once jessie is out (because AMD64 has the most issues with dependencies), and maybe keep the 32-bit on wheezy, or package both for 32-bit, if thats not too much troubles code/build-system wise?

I like that idea Hendrik. It doesn't add complexity and still allows for backwards compatibility.

Works fine on Ubuntu 15.04. Though it's probably worth mentioning that libgnutls28 on 15.04 is called libgnutls-deb0-28.

I just installed MC 20 AMD64 in a VirtualBox VM with Debian stretch / KDE - Fresh installation.

dpkg -i Media Center 20.0.100-amd64.deb - that was it !!! Without installing any additional file ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)
Whoa - works great. License with the GUI installed. The Resize works well. :)

Thanks for the good work.
Question:
On my main system (Debian Jessie) I have MC 20 I386 installed. Can I just install MC AMD64 there, after I uninstalled MC I386? Are the settings obtained?

Trying on TumbleWeed, I now have a:
libgnutils28 (<=libgnutls-deb0.so.28)
libhogweed2
libnettle4

but I get
Code: [Select]
ldd libJRReader.so
./libJRReader.so: /usr/lib64/libgnutls-deb0.so.28: version `GNUTLS_DEBIAN_0_2_12' not found (required by ./libJRReader.so)
./libJRReader.so: /usr/lib64/libgnutls-deb0.so.28: version `GNUTLS_DEBIAN_0_1_4' not found (required by ./libJRReader.so)

Clearly my gnutils is not "compatible".  Calling for these debian versions is set in stone as such?

Cool, I'm glad it works for you.
Yes, the settings should work with both the i386 and AMD64 builds and they will remain after you uninstall the i386 build.
Uninstall the i386 build BEFORE installing the amd64 build.

Tried as much as possible to get this to work. I think the version of gnutls28 you have is just too old. I get the same behavior on Ubuntu 14.04

If someone else has ideas on this I'd be interested in hearing them. gnutls is required for networking (it's what is used for secure connections).

This isn't an issue for the i386 build because it has gnutls statically linked in (not possible for amd64).

Installed Jessie 8.0 fresh last night after coming over from Mint 17.1.

Followed the installation tutorial from the forum here, but got version conflicts while trying to install the different dependencies. Found the latest version posted today. Installed the deb file and it worked straight away. Had to try 3 times to get to import my license from the license key file through the terminal. But at the third try it finally said registered.

But otherwise the program works flawlessly. Already streaming music to my smartphone through JRemote :D

Got the same thing when sym-linking to the default libgnutils(30) in TW.  I'm going to try one more thing and then see if I can load up 13.2 somewhere....

There is some noise online about gnutls28 being some sort of transitory package with ABI differences from previous versions. There seems to be the need to know exactly what version it is hence the extra values?.

now I have MC 20 AMD 64 installed on my main system. First MC 20 I386 uninstalled. Super !! It works "out of the box". All settings are there as before - no new registration is necessary.

in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mediacenter20.list  the entry is :

Code: [Select]
#MC
deb [arch = i386] http://dist.jriver.com/latest/mediacenter/ wheezy main

I think this is not the correct entry

I'll comment out first

Edit:
must only the entry [arch = i386] in [ARCH = AMD64]
be changed?
Normally should the entry of "wheezy main" be changed to "jessie main"

You would just remove the entire arch entry if you want the amd64 version (its only required to get one not matching your system), and switch the wheezy to jessie.
Note that it may not be in the apt repository yet, since it was the first build for jessie, bob prefers to be cautious and post it here first.

Correct, there isn't a jessie in the repository yet.

Hi
I'm running SUSE 13.2 and had the same problem. I downloaded the lib "libgnutls-deb0-28_3.2.16-1ubuntu2_amd64" from the internet and extract it into "/usr/lib64". Now MC is working again, but the main window behavior is very strange and slow.
As soon as I move the cursor into the window, display action is slowing down, but the playback continues flawless.

I'm using the Bose Soundlink as a second device. Now, the remote control via soundlink is working!  8)

Some more things about the remote control:
I checked back to the previous version x.95: no remote action. With this version (x.100), the remote control is possible, but the MC-window must be the active window. As soon as you make a different window the active one, the remote is not functioning any more, 'til you give the control back to the MC-window.
I don't know, whether remote was possible before at other installations. I'm running SUSE 13.2 and it was never working.

I checked all the dependencies and I think they are all there, including gnutls26. When I run it I get a segmentation fault.

No idea if it will run on Arch x64, I'd expect it would be easier to get running since it's based on Jessie.
You might want to check the forum post with the list of required libraries. It's been updated. We no longer use gnutls26. It's guntls28-deb0 or something like that.

I spent a few hours with it both before and after the Jessie switch, and I can't get the 64-bit version running on Arch at all.  I tried ldd and running an strace, but ultimately got nowhere.  So I'll be sticking with the 32-bit version until someone smarter than me figures out how to satisfy the deps.

Arch is on libgnutls30, which may be part of the problem (that seemed to be the hangup in the strace).

Thanks.

I did install gnutls26 from AUR, I didn't know you moved it to 28. I dont think 28 is available though so that might be a problem.

gnutls is being kind of annoying, as Debian uses this special version with debian in the name, which happens to be available on Ubuntu, but not on other distributions really...

Hi bob,

if you use rar libs like libgnutls-deb0-28, isn't it possible to include it "usr/lib/jriver/Media Center 20" dir, since this is searched first for the presents of libs.

Bundling security-relevant libraries is rather ill-advised, as it puts the responsibility on us to keep them updated in case of a security issue, instead of the distributions.

It's true that MC always searches the /usr/lib/jriver/Media Center xx/ directory for libraries first.
If one packages gnutls28 and it's dependencies so that it could be installed in there it would probably take care of the issue.

Other than removing the need for the multiarch libraries there is no particular reason to run the amd64 build as opposed to the i386 build.

Heads up everyone, I upgraded ALSA and Pulse on Ubuntu 15.04 (also using the 4.0.2 kernel) and tested DSD (DoP) output... it seems to be working fine! Awesome!

20.0.108 is in the apt repository as well. See the i386 build announcement for linux specific changes.

The window sizing and placement is much, much better in 108. However, I still notice a couple issues...

- By default for whatever reason the window is at the smallest size possible (e.g. on a clean install). If you don't see the faint window shadow, it's very hard to find the window on a large desktop.

- Still can't size the window to fill the entire window space on Ubuntu without maximizing the window. It seems to be a little glitchy, every time I try to size the window, it tends to 'glitch out' and produce a gap on the opposite side.

- I still randomly encounter the issue where the launcher will create multiple icons, e.g. the media center 20.desktop naming issue. It actually might be an internal issue that could potentially exist on Debian as well at random, not sure. I'll need to download Debian and test in my VM.

- The issues with skins, display of album art and closing the tree causing a libX11 segfault which I described here still exists. My video posted there also shows how to reproduce.

I've just installed Mc 108 (over 100]. The window sizing and placement is working very well.

Some small problems:

The icon is not displayed correctly. (in the tray and in the task bar). In my system, there were about 10 mediacenter20.desktop - files
example:
/home/hans/.local/share/applications/mediacenter20.desktop
/home/hans/.local/share/applications/media center 20.desktop

I think these are still some of the i 386 version left. But deleting was not the solution.
Do you have an idea to fix the icon- problem?

One more request:

Since ages the Mini-View does not work. Is it not possible to send the played tracks to the notifications? That would be a Great. The Mini - View would be almost unnecessary.

There still are some small issues with going between fullscreen/non-full screen.

As for the sizing to almost fullscreen within the desktop with Ubuntu, it appears to me there is something odd going on with the window manager and MC's skin size calculation.
I noticed that you can override this by using the alt-key method of move/resize.

I've never been able to reproduce your startup size issue. As a test you might try removing the Placement settings from the User Settings.ini file and restarting.
Hmm I just did that and reproduced your issue!
However as soon as I moved and expanded the window and exited from MC, it worked the next time.
What is your option setting for startup window mode in MC?

Yes, it saves fine now. My location is last location and the mode is last exit view. I'll keep playing around with it more and see if I can encounter anything else. :) Good work, as always.

Thanks for testing.
I'm trying to implement the checking on window placement that hasn't worked properly in linux to this point.

An update, I installed MC in a fresh Ubuntu 15.04 VM and noticed several issues.

- When first started MC is at the absolute smallest size possible with the very, very tiny window (with shadow) in the upper left corner.

- When trying to resize the window from above, MC will crash with the following in the terminal;

Code: [Select]
*** Error in 'mediacenter20': free(): invalid next size (fast): 0x00000000034afc30 ***
Aborted (core dumped)

On the positive side, it looks like MC can be installed without first installing any other dependencies (other than the ones installed when you install mediacenter20), which is great! :D

Has anyone noticed a graphical issue where dots appear within the skin (doesn't matter which skin - I see them in clean Ubuntu installs too)? They appeared with 108.

Specifically for the amd64 build, the unifonts are now required instead of recommended.

There are several fixes for the linux build in general that apply to the amd64 build. See the general linux MC posting for the changes.

In arch there are these problems:

  libnettle.so.4 => not found
  libhogweed.so.2 => not found
  libgnutls-deb0.so.28 => not found

The last version of nettle in arch has libhogweed.so.4 and libnettle.so.6
The last version of gnutls in arch is libgnutls.so.30

I don't see an easy solution.
