MC24 wont run on startup in Debian stretch

(1/4) > >>

mogman:
I have MediaCenter 24 installed on Debian 9 Stretch. In Options I have selected in Linux Startup to have Media Center run. Media Center does not run on Startup. Anyone else have this issue?

Awesome Donkey:
The startup options in MC don't work under Linux, only Windows and Mac. In my opinion, these options should be hidden on Linux since they don't do anything. It may be difficult to supporting startup options within MC on Linux due to the differences in desktop environments, X or Wayland being used, systemd being used (or not being used), might/likely would require root/sudo to add/enable things like systemd scripts, etc.

If you're using GNOME, the easiest way to start MC on Linux startup is to install the Tweak Tool (gnome-tweak-tool), open it and go to Startup Applications and manually add MC there.

geier22:
You can create a desktop file and copy it to the folder.
~ / .config / autostart /
That should work in all surfaces.
The delay can be a bit shorter. In any case, the desktop should be fully charged first.
For Xfce ~/.config/autostart/Mediacenter 24.desktop:

--- Code: ---[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=0.9.4
Type=Application
Name=Mediacenter 24
Comment=
Exec=sh -c "sleep 20; /usr/bin/mediacenter24"
StartupNotify=false
Terminal=false
Hidden=false
--- End code ---

Agreed. I'll remove them.

You could also create a systemd service, something like mwillems posted here: https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,115514.0.html
