Set up JRiver Media Center 24 in Fedora

<< < (3/5) > >>

BryanC:
While my dev machines all run Fedora or CentOS, my cloud VPS's (that could be used to host a fedora repo) are all running Ubuntu. Maybe if my providers update their OS options I would be able to do this in the future.

Edit: Upon further analysis it looks like I can run createrepo on Ubuntu. I'll look into it when I get a chance.

There isn't a Ubuntu repo. There's a Debian repo, which is the only Linux distro JRiver Media Center for Linux officially supports. But it just happens that the Debian repo can also be used in Debian derivatives like Ubuntu and Linux Mint (since they all use apt) but they're not officially supported.

Since JRiver only officially supports Debian, them adding a Fedora repo or providing RPM packages is doubtful. But that's why this topic is here. ;)

I got an error when trying to upgrade to MediaCenter-24.0.64-3-amd64.deb

The content of my SOURCES directory:

--- Code: ----rw-r--r--. 1 id id 37746638 May 14  2018 MediaCenter-24.0.28-amd64.deb
-rw-r--r--. 1 id id 38467378 Aug 10 12:37 MediaCenter-24.0.46-amd64.deb
-rw-r--r--. 1 id id 38638716 Nov  2 12:59 MediaCenter-24.0.61-amd64.deb
-rw-r--r--. 1 id id 38687690 Nov 20 14:07 MediaCenter-24.0.64-3-amd64.deb

--- End code ---

Update failure:

--- Code: --- ./install_MC_fedora.sh 24.0.64-3
Converting DEB to RPM...
Conversion Failed!

--- End code ---

But installing the previous version MediaCenter-24.0.61-amd64.deb still works:

--- Code: ---./install_MC_fedora.sh 24.0.61
Converting DEB to RPM...
Attempting to install RPM...
Last metadata expiration check: 0:18:49 ago on Tue 27 Nov 2018 12:23:24 PM PST.
Package MediaCenter-24-61.fc28.x86_64 is already installed, skipping.
Dependencies resolved.
Nothing to do.
Complete!
JRiver Media Center 24.0.61 installed successfully!

--- End code ---

Could there be a problem in the scripts for a hypen in the argument for the MC version, e.g., "64-3"?

Awesome Donkey:
Download the MediaCenter-24.0.64-3-amd64.deb file and put in the directory the script usually downloads the .deb files. Then rename it and remove the -3 from the file name. Then use ./install_MC_fedora.sh 24.0.64 and see if it'll build it - it should see that renamed MediaCenter-24.0.64-amd64.deb in the directory and use it, instead of re-downloading it then proceed as normal.

I think this was something I noticed a couple times when I was testing Fedora and there was hyphen+numbered (or hotfix/re-release) builds like that. Renaming it and proceeding like normal worked if I recall.

I followed your suggestion. It worked - thanks!

I renamed my previously downloaded version 24.0.64-3 to 24.0.64, and then ran the installer:


--- Quote ---# mv SOURCES/MediaCenter-24.0.64-3-amd64.deb SOURCES/MediaCenter-24.0.64-amd64.deb
# ./install_MC_fedora.sh 24.0.64
....
JRiver Media Center 24.0.64 installed successfully!

In MC Help -> About Media Center shows: "Media Center 24.0.64 (64-bit)". I presume this is MediaCenter-24.0.64-3.
