New to JRiver - what features functions are available in the Linux version?
roadkil401:
I re-installed my Debian just to make sure and this time didn't bother to select Gnome. And got the same error. It turns out that Debian 9.3 does not install the 'sudo' command by default. so you get the error '-bash: sudo: command not found'. to fix this you need to run 'apt install sudo' to get debian to load the sudo command and then the instructions given will work.
There is quite the learning curve to get this software to run. For example, by default it wants to use the Pulse Audio that with my Anthem Pre-Amp will force all speakers to play rather than just giving me the stereo format that the audio flac file is recorded in. The software is very dificult to navigate as most of the setting are done with a pop out window, and move the mouse pointer the wrong way and the window gets shoved to the background that sometimes is impossible to get back to the front. But I will say that it does seem to play my music a bit more reliably than I was getting with my FooBar2000 install, So it will be a project over the next few days to see if I can tame this to work for me. Guess I will need to spend the $14 for JRmote, but might give the MonkeyMote a try as its far cheeper and I was using that with my FooBar.
Awesome Donkey:
Yeah, Debian is annoying like that. I tend to recommend to Linux first timers to avoid using Debian and instead use Ubuntu or Linux Mint unless you've got the basic grasp of Linux down.
Nonetheless, I added a note to the Debian/Ubuntu/Linux Mint tutorial about likely needing to install sudo and add your user account to the sudo group, along with a link to a simple and easy tutorial in step 0.

that is quite cool actually (to my mind) if by "JRiver remote" you mean mobile app? I assumed so but want to clarify you are not talking about some kind of physical remote. there is no physical remote, right?
JimH:
Physical or software, any remote that works with JRiver will work for all versions.
