JRiver Media Center 23.0.51 for Debian STRETCH AMD64 Beta
Rizlaw:
As I stated in my post, I opened a terminal IN THE FOLDER where the deb file was located, so there is no need for a "path". And yes, I did download the file thank you.
Awesome Donkey:
Do this from the Terminal (skip the first step if you've already downloaded the .deb file)...
--- Code: ---wget http://files.jriver.com/mediacenter/test/MediaCenter-23.0.51-amd64.deb
--- End code ---
Then try this (if you've already downloaded the .deb file, look to the instructions under this command) - I haven't tested this, as I don't have any Ubuntu installs at the moment (waiting for 17.10)...
--- Code: ---sudo dpkg -i 'MediaCenter-23.0.51-amd64.deb'
--- End code ---
If the above fails or you've already downloaded the .deb file, instead of 'MediaCenter-23.0.51-amd64.deb' simply drag and drop the downloaded .deb file into the Terminal so it posts the full path to the .deb file. Also always make sure there's a space between -i and the 'pathtothe.deb'. Then press Enter to install (and input your password when prompted).
Otherwise if you encounter an error about unresolved dependencies, try this...
--- Code: ---sudo apt-get install -f
--- End code ---
That *should* do it. Hopefully. ;)
P.S. If you're using Debian Wheezy/Jessie, Ubuntu 16.04 LTS or Linux Mint 18.x, this Stretch AMD64 build of 23.0.51 will NOT function correctly for you. Those OSes have libraries that are older than the increased minimum versions of libraries. If you try to install this build on an older OS, it *may* install and it *may* even function after installing, but the package manager (e.g. Synaptic) will freak out about the newer lib requirements and it will flag MC 23 as a broken package! If you're using these older OSes, it's *highly* recommended to use the i386 build instead!
Rizlaw:
AD,
That completely borked my MC23 install. It's totally gone. Here's most of the terminal info after step 1 of 3 as suggested:

Awesome Donkey:
Looks like you're installing it on an older OS that doesn't have the newer lib requirements these Stretch AMD64 builds have. Is it the 16.04 LTS in your sig? This build won't work there. I don't have a 17.04 VM right now, so I can't test 23.0.51 there. if it's breaking in 17.04 make sure your OS is up-to-date with all updates. If so and it's still breaking, it's possible all Ubuntu releases are currently incompatible with the Stretch AMD64 build.
The giveaway is this part of the log;
--- Code: ---pkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of mediacenter23:
mediacenter23 depends on libxcb1 (>= 1.12); however:
Version of libxcb1:amd64 on system is 1.11.1-1ubuntu1.
--- End code ---
MC23 depends on 1.12 or higher libxcb1 but the system only has 1.11.1 so the package manager is flagging MC as a broken package and is removing it.
You *might* have to use the i386 build. Look at my edited post above with the P.S. ;)
Rizlaw:
AD,
Bob's post seemed to state that it would work in 17.04. Obviously it doesn't. So, I guess I have to try and fix the errors and reinstall the last version of MC that worked until 17.10 is released.
