Actually that part is a leftover, it doesn't matter anymore as 32-bit/64-bit/ARM was merged into a single .list file for each of the three repos (stable/latest/beta). There's only those three repos now, but a few months ago there was 9 overall but it was reduced to 3. As for choosing the 64-bit over 32-bit, that part is automatic unless you specifically want it to install the 32-bit build (in my opinion, there's no reason to use the 32-bit build on a 64-bit system).

EDIT: Corrected/removed that old part. Thanks for pointing it out! :)

OK, got it figured out i think.  The only other thing is how do i confirm that it is x64?  If i go to Help>About Media Center in Windows it is shown in the title bar as (64-bit).  I am not seeing the (64-bit) on Linux side.  Does this mean I installed the 32-bit version?  I tried uninstalling/reinstalling on Linux to be sure it was grabbing the right one but it is giving me the same info.

Also having an issue connecting to remote library running off of Linux via Windows running MC22...Actually, I'll start a new topic for this.

Linux and Mac lacks the 64-bit title bar (though, IMO, in at least Linux it does make sense but not Mac since by default MC is 64-bit).

Now if you added one of the repos, it'll automatically install MC matching the architecture you're going to be running it on. If you have a 64-bit CPU, it'll install the 64-bit MC. The *only* way to install the 32-bit MC on a 64-bit machine is by forcing it (and any needed multiarch libraries) via a package manager (e.g. Synaptic) or by forcing mediacenter23:i386 via the apt-get install command above. If you install via sudo apt-get install mediacenter23 it's VERY likely you've got the 64-bit build of Media Center if you're running on a 64-bit machine.

Cool..thanks for the info and help.  Look like everything is running and communicating like it should be!  8)

You can do
Help->System Info->Advanced to see if you are running 64 bit or 32 bit.
