I am using Linux Mint 17.3 'Rosa' (cinnamon 64-bit)

I have previously installed MC21 and then more recently I uninstalled it and installed MC22 version 22.0.97.
With the latest (MC22) version, I need to double click on many basic functions such as: the play/stop/skip buttons, or accessing various options on drop-down menus. Clicking once as normally done won't activate these functions.
This was not the case with the previous (MC21).

Any ideas how to solve this issue? Thanks

Have you tried the latest (and likely last MC22) build, 22.0.111-5?

[Mantaray]

Thank you for your suggestion.

I have tried to update the MC22 following the instructions given in "Step 4 - Updating Media Center 22".
Therefore, I typed in the terminal the following command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
I received the below error messages and MC22 did not update.
I'm not a Linux expert and your help would be much appreciated.

The error messages shown in the terminal following the above commands are:

W: There is no public key available for the following key IDs:
1397B... (I deleted the rest of this ID in case of personal info?)
W: Failed to fetch http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/dists/stable/Release  Unable to find expected entry 'main/binary-i386/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

That's a Google Chrome repo issue, unrelated to MC.

You can try downloading the .deb file itself and installing it via the terminal or package manager.

Thanks.
I'm not a Linux expert so please excuse my basic questions below.
As mentioned before, I am using Linux Mint 17.3 'Rosa' (cinnamon 64-bit).
I began to download the .deb file from "JRiver Media Center 22.0.111-5 for Debian".
1. Could you please confirm before I continue that this is suitable to be used with Mint 17.3 Rosa?
2. Doing so opened a package installer window and asked to confirm to "install package" . Is this the correct way to proceed?
3. Will MC22 get updated/replaced if I confirm as above?
4. How would I install it via the terminal?

[Awesome Donkey]

Try this from the terminal (not at my main PC at the moment to test this);

Code: [Select]

wget http://files.jriver.com/mediacenter/channels/v22/latest/MediaCenter-22.0.111-5-amd64.deb
Then...

Code: [Select]

sudo dpkg -i ~/MediaCenter-22.0.111-5-amd64.deb
That *should* work. If not, I'll test it here in a bit.

[Mantaray]

Thank you for your suggestion.

I just entered these two commands in the terminal.
It looks that MC22 is now updated to the 22.0.111 build.
Unfortunately, the "double click" issue stayed the same.
Any other suggestion?
Below are the messages shown in the terminal after entering the second command. Also, please note that I am using a 64 bit Intel CPU (not AMD).

sudo dpkg -i ~/MediaCenter-22.0.111-5-amd64.deb

AMD64 refers to the x86_64 (aka 64-bit or x64) extensions of x86 (aka 32-bit or i386), actually. Intel created the x86 architecture but AMD created the x86_64 extension, which Intel uses (they call it Intel 64, but AMD64 is correct too).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64

I can't reproduce the double click issue on Linux Mint 18.2 nor Arch Linux, nor Debian Stretch in my VM.

[Mantaray]

Thanks.

Thinking of uninstalling and then reinstalling MC22.
Could this help?
If yes, what is the best way of doing this given the below history?

[Mantaray]

hi,

Appreciate your input on the two questions I had in my previous post when possible.

Many thanks.

[Mantaray]

Updating that when using the JRemote app on my mobile, there is no sign of the double click issue reported before. This issue is observed only when I'm using the keyboard.
Does this give any hint to the problem behind the issue?

In addition, I experience further problems with several functions which I am not able to activate from the drop-down menus. For example, going to Options-->Audio Device-->any of "Bit Streaming" / "Prebuffering"/ "Memory Playback"/ "Play Silence" - would not be activated even when double clicking on them. Rather I need to click somewhere between 20-30 times and in some of the above  options, a drop down menu will appear. In others, nothing at all will happen, such that the function is inactive.

None of the above issues appear in the Windows version of the software.
Again, I am using Linux Mint 17.3 Rosa.

Any idea how to solve this issue please?

Problem seems to be resolved! - however its source still unknown

All the above issues were observed when I am using a logitech wireless combined keyboard (mousepad built in to keyboard).

However, surprisingly, when using a microsoft wireless mouse or a mouse connected (wired) to the PC, all the above issues disappeared!

It should be noted that the above logitech wireless keyboard/mouse showed no issue with the Linux JRiver MC21 version nor have I ever previously experienced any such problems with any other software while using it.

This was so weird I had to share - go figure!
