Quick Start Guide for Installing JRiver Mediacenter 24 ARM on a Raspberry Pi
Awesome Donkey:
Do you have auto-import enabled? If so, try disabling it and see if it stops closing. If it does, there's a chance you might have bad files.

It generally works ok but on the odd day i'll try to connect and as jriver has unexpected close i can't access through gizmo or panel unless i go to the pi and start up jriver again. anyone else experience something similar? I am definitely only using for music now. (after thought.... although the films are still in the library im just not playing them via the pi any more, thinking i should probably in the first instance remove those folders from the library will try that tonight, also could try reinstalling j river)

I used to have that occasionally, and I setup a systemd service to auto-restart (stickied at the top of the MC24 forum, but not in the MC25 forum for some reason).
A.D.'s right though, if you have auto-import enabled, I'd bet on a bad file crashing things. Also make sure the thumbnailing priority is set to low.
If it's a client system rather than a server system, try turning off "auto-sync with server" just to test, as I sometimes see a memory leak with that setting that eventually crashes MC.

thanks for the advice. So far so good with auto import off...
brains4eva:
just an update, i was actually still having the same problem with it closing unexpectly, what has now solved the problem for me is putting the library on an external drive and plugging it into the pi's USB (the drive is plugged into a usb extension cable with a dedicated power supply so it doesn't drain any power from the pi.). I then imported those files into jriver as opposed to from a network mapped drive from my NAS drive. So using the external drive files i get no problems with it crashing so my problem must have been something relating to accessing music from a mapped via jriver.
Mr. Anderson:
Hi,
Thank you very much for the brilliant post. I have however unfortunately hit a snag. It seems that the JRiver repo is not available at the moment. I get the errors below

E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?
Can you please help with this ?
Thank you
