Problems running MC on Audiolinux

Hi,

I need help. I tried out JRiver built 21.0.23 under trial status at Audiolinux but unfortunately it was running very slow and didn't give any response for mouse clicks when music started to play. It took me multiple clicks and waiting for it to work, open any menu items or stop the music.

I run Audiolinux OS with headless setup at this computer:
Intel NUC BLKDE3815TYKH0E with one 4GB DDR3 SODIMM RAM :

One Cursair 4GB SODIMM Ram is added to the NUC to total of 8GB.

I controlled JRiver via VNC viewer from another tablet.
I have tried out other player under similar condition and they played with no issue. So I don't think it is Audiolinux issue.

Is the version not yet stable and I should try out other version?

Thank you.

JimH:
We build for Debian.  What is yours based on?  I did a quick search and looks like Arch.  It says Audiolinux is "real time", which is of questionable value for something intended to play music.

Awesome Donkey:
I can attest that Media Center is stable on Debian, Ubuntu and Linux Mint.

Media center is stable on actual Arch too (at least at my house).  At least one other user had serious problems trying to run audiolinux due to their kernel tweaks, so I would recommend using a mainstream distro.  Take it for what it's worth, but my view is that distros like audiolinux don't really provide added value in this application over something nice and stable like Debian.  Debian's easy to install, easy to maintain, and just works with MC.  If you're planning to use the device as a music playing appliance driven by MC, it's literally the best option.  If you're planning on using the computer as a general purpose computer as well, you'd be better off with something like Ubuntu or Mint.

Hi,

I found out to have smooth interaction with Audiolinux, should use JRemote or GIZMO client accessing JRiver running in server mode only at the batckground of Audiolinux, not in GUI mode. The million dollar question is how to turn on media server mode only at JRiver which will only run in server mode at the background when Audiolinux start up?

Could you guys tell me what to change in settings to enable server mode? Thank you very much.
