Unofficial support. The only officially supported distro(s) by JRiver are Debian Jessie (and probably Debian Stretch soon).

It's possible. Could be other possibilities like incorrect file permissions within the ~/.jriver/Media Center 24 folder (or specific files, e.g. Machine Settings.ini in ~/.jriver/Media Center 24/Settings). But something is definitely causing the licensing to be lost.

If it's an issue that affects all Buster installs in general, I'm sure Bob will probably want to look into it before Buster becomes stable.

That means that there is only official support for Debian old stable?
But then you have to say: MC only supports 3 years old machines. Newer ones are not supported because of kernel 3.16.0-4.
That can not be serious.
What would Windows users say if you do not support Windows 10?

Ok.- Here are all the permissions of directory ~ / .jriver / Media Center 24 /

Hendrik:
We support released versions of Debian, that is Jessie and Stretch right now. Pre-release versions like unstable or testing are not supported. This is the same rule that applies to all operating systems, we also don't support Windows Insider builds. If you run them, you're on your own.
The reason for that is simple - they are basically a moving target and change too much.

As I said, right now they still mainly support Jessie because that's the distro they target/build MC24 on right now. They did for a short time move to Stretch last summer, but MC23 would no longer run on certain distros running older, incompatible libraries (e.g. Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Linux Mint 18.x). Ultimately this meant they had stay with targeting and building MC on Jessie for the sake of compatibility (even though they don't officially support those). With the release of Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (and Linux Mint 19 soon) they can finally move on to targeting/building MC on Stretch. This doesn't really have anything to do with the version of the kernel used either - as it stands right now MC24 runs fine in Debian Stretch (even though it's built on Jessie). I'm running it in a Stretch VM right now with no issues.

Windows is not Linux.

geier22:
Again and finally:
Since the first version of MC for Linux I use Debian-Testing.
All versions of MC ran on this system.
MC 23 also runs on all Debian systems without problems.
But MC 24 not.
You have made changes. Not Debian.
