I wonder, have you also 'improved your licensing' in this version? It seems like the license dialog now pops up in CI pipelines. That didn't ever happen happen (yet).  ?

Guess I gotta activate that one too then. Didn't really intend to do that as it only exists for a minute and then is gone. Would have preferred to 'not set it up'. Ofc I activate the jriver instances I actually use but with this one I did not really intend to do that.

Internal volume for TV is working nicely this build.  Thanks Yaobing for the quick fix!

Well.. I managed to work around it. By activating a jriver instance where the gitlab runner runs and re-using that jriver directory in builds that run on that machine. Bit annoying but it's ok.

It's obvious you changed something about how you detect "a machine". It seems that you no longer check for the mac address. Which is good, because that would mean we no longer have to assign static mac addresses in virtual environments. Was that the plan here?
