More > JRiver Media Center 25 for Linux
MC25 via VNC
Scobie:
This is more of a VNC query than a MC query but thought I would ask in case anyone has seen anything similar.
I access my MC25 server via VNC viewer (the Docker image spoken about in this forum) and it works well but I find that some Console Windows cannot be closed once open.
For example if I do Help -> About Media Center, the Splash Screen comes up but there is absoutely no way to get rid of it short of a restart. There are no ok/Close options and nowhere to click to clear it. I get the same with some windows within the DSP.
Anyone seen this?
Cheers

ESC key?

I tried that on 25.0.44 and it changed nothing. I tried both the physical ESC key as well as the VNC Viewer virtual keyboard key. Not only that but I can't get the MC to respond to ANY other interactions. For me at least, my only option is to terminate and restart the container.
EDIT: I take that back, I can run docker exec -it jrivermc25-latest /bin/bash to get in to the container then kill the mediacenter process. It'll respawn and things are once OK again.

Something is eating the escape key.

That's a reasonable hypothesis. And with so many things in the way between the keyboard and the application (VNC client, VNC server, not to mention docker itself) it could be difficult to sort out. I've got a fair bit of experience with the various components and can't imagine what might be in the way but I'll maybe try and start the VNC server in debug mode so I can see what sort of key sequences are being passed in.
JimH, have you and your team considered starting a docker distribution of MC for Linux? It might stop hacks like me from hacking other hack's Dockerfiles to get it working on our systems? Not to mention that it would remove vagaries associated with Fedora vs CentOS vs Ubuntu vs Alpine vs Mint, etc
