trouble with license

<< < (2/3) > >>

JimH:
You need to use 27.0.85 or higher.  Anything else won't take an MC28 license.

Dr_Hoon:
Where do I find an MC27.0.85 or higher docker for ARM?

Dr_Hoon:
I've managed to give myself a couple of weeks to figure this out, by extending the trial license.

If possible, I would greatly appreciate any suggestions toward a solution, other than wait for an ARM version of MC28 (or 27.0.85+) to appear on the Docker Hub, especially as it appears to be one of the lesser-supported routes to enjoying MC.

With the benefit of hindsight, I can now see there was no option to purchase a working license for what I believe is the latest version of MC (27.0.22) that will work on my NAS. It also seems there is no option to refund or exchange what I purchased in favour of a license that works. Is there at least any chance of being given an MC27 license as a stop-gap measure, please?

Right now, the only solution I have is to purchase a HDD large enough to backup my library, initialise my NAS in a couple of weeks, rebuild the system, transfer the backup of my library, rinse and repeat every 45 days until somebody hopefully builds a licensable ARM version of MC and uploads it to Docker Hub.

Awesome Donkey:
Unless you're wanting video playback (and doing audio only), getting a Raspberry Pi and installing Raspberry Pi OS (which is available as ARM64) and connecting that to your NAS or getting one of JRiver's Id solutions might be a better solution instead of trying to running it on your NAS in a Docker container. At least with it running on a Raspberry Pi you can update Media Center when using the repository. It's also worth pointing out that a) using the Docker image is considered unsupported by JRiver (and they also don't support in general running Media Center on a NAS) and b) once licenses for a new Media Center (MC28 in this case) are being issued there's no way to get a license for an older Media Center version, JRiver doesn't offer them anymore to customers.

For my audio only setup, the Raspberry Pi + NAS combo works rather well actually. I use the latest ARM64 build of Raspberry Pi OS along with Media Center 27 ARM64 and it works fine with a MC28 license and I'm so glad that I don't have to mess around with Docker because it's a pain.

Dr_Hoon:
I have it set up perfectly running on my NAS, streaming directly to my receiver, controlled by JRemote2. Licensing issue aside, it's my dream music server. I can't for the life of me see any point adding another device to the pipeline.
