More > JRiver Media Center 23 for Linux
NEW: Theater View on Linux
Leeuwerik:
Hello,
Happy to see the Linux developments. I'm adding a Linux based JRiver Media Center to my multimedia solution. I'm choosing Linux because it has built-in kernel support for my Hiface Evo. This is a critical component in my digital audio chain (A windows 10 update last year caused a BSOD with the WASAPI Hiface driver).
Unfortunately I have an issue with the Display and Theater view (see below).
Did someone see this behavior on his system or know how to resolve?
Issue
When I switch from Standard to Theater or Display view, the gnome display manager starts writing messages to logfiles (messages, syslog etc) constantly. These logfiles grow about 1TB in total every day resulting in disk space issues. When I switch back to Standard view, this behavior stops.
Messages are like: /usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-x-session[573]: (II) modeset(0): Modeline "1440x240"x0.0 27.00 1440 1478 1602 1716 240 244 247 262 -hsync -vsync (15.7 kHz e)
System details
Motherboard: ASRock J4205 - Mini-ITX
Processor: Intel Apollo Lake - Pentium QuadCore - 4x2,6GHz (14nm)
Video (onboard): Intel HD Graphics 500 - 750GHz
Memory: 8 GB
SSD: 60 GB
OS: Debian Stretch (Jessie does not support this hardware)
Any suggestions are welcome.
Kind regards,
Erik

What's your desktop size?
Do you have multiple monitors and if so which is MC on?
Leeuwerik:
I've only one 55 Inch OLED 4K TV attached to the system. I've tried resolutions 1920x1080 (HD) and 3840x2160 (Ultra HD). Both show the same behavior.

This looks weird:
modeset(0): Modeline "1440x240"x0.0
The only references I could find to this made it look like either a gdm bug or installation issue. The 0.0 is supposedly the frame rate. Maybe you shouldn't be using modsetting?
Unfortunately this is where linux becomes problematic, the variety of XServer drivers, vendor dependent stuff, etc.
Leeuwerik:
Modeline settings are generated dynamically by the kernel using EDID data from TV. It's not a manual config file. Videos are played well. The problem is the hundreds thousands of modeset messages that are generated in logfiles when I switch to Theater/Display View. When I use the Gnome player Totem in full screen mode, these messages are not generated. So the problem is very specific to JRiver MC Theater/Display view.
