Quick Start Guide for Installing JRiver Mediacenter 23 ARM on a Raspberry Pi
astropuppy:
OK, I got running with a master license installed. In a quest to get album artist art working smoothly I ended up with a hybrid kind of configuration. I installed raspbian stretch lite then xFce on top of that. Theater mode is dicey but I'm content with display mode showing playing now the cover art.
I'm not a linux guy, ideally I would like jriver to start in the console on power on. I have linux doing a autologon into xFce already, I'm just missing the boat on how to bring up the jriver app within the console.
Once its running I'm using Panel to control it and ssh to shut it down from a chrome book.
any help would be appreciated, I know very little about linux.
astropuppy:
nevermind I figured it out with autostart
kolia:
@astropupy. Could you tell us how you managed to start MC automatically? Thanks
astropuppy:
Sure, basically I followed these instructions

My autologin user is astropuppy so pi is replaced with astropuppy in the directory structure,
[Desktop Entry]
Name=mediacenter23
Exec=mediacenter23
Type=application
From there I set jriver options to display mode when a song is played.
I am not a linux person, there may be better ways to do this.

Neither do I ;)
Any particular reason why you choose xFce?
