But, the repo does install and it can check for updates. Will check building here in a few once system updates are done.
EDIT: After doing system updates the repo somehow downgraded Media Center 28.0.87 to MC26. It must think it's an older distro or something. :P

I'm using Boxes (libvirtd). I prefer live ISOs for debugging as it is faster than snapshots, so I was messing around with Krypton/Argon as SUSE install media requires a disk install. I can manage that with snapshots but the SUSE installer never seems to complete unfortunately. Edit: Got it working. Not sure why it is being detected as an older version, you can see my logic here (from /etc/os-release):
--- Code: --- _base="buster" # For container method
_boardurl="https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/board,71.0.html"
if [[ "$ID" == "ubuntu" ]]; then

# _base="bullseye"

_base="buster"

_mcversion="26.0.107"

_mcversion="26.0.107"
elif [[ "$ID" == "debian" ]]; then
_base="$VERSION_CODENAME"
[[ $VERSION_ID -eq 10 ]] && \
_base="buster"
[[ $VERSION_ID -le 9 ]] && \
_mcversion="26.0.107" # For 9 and 8
elif [[ "$ID" == "centos" ]]; then
[[ "$VERSION_ID" -eq "8" ]] && \
_base="buster"
[[ "$VERSION_ID" -lt "8" ]] && \
_mcversion="26.0.107" # Doubtful

In the next version I'll also disable the version limits for building (but not installing) RPMs.

--- End quote ---
What prompted this was the inability to install buster MC28 on Ubuntu 18.04 (bionic), itself based on Buster but with out-of-date dependencies. It may be possible to install MC27 if the deb has older dependencies. If the distro is super old (older than buster) the default is to fallback to MC26 (jessie-based).
BryanC:
I added version 1.0b3 that should flesh out SUSE support for the `--install rpm` method. I had to do a lot of package translations for that one!
Currently there is no cross-building allowed and the RPMs built on SUSE are not compatible with Fedora/CentOS and vice versa.
This will also allow a SUSE user to maintain their own repository for other users using the jriver-createrepo service if they are so inclined.

This new version works much better! However, running the script for the first time results in...
--- Code: ---Error: JRiver Media Center installation failed
--- End code ---
Running it again with --debug results in...
--- Code: ---./installJRMC --debug
SUSE support is experimental!

Yikes, yeah, this one has been around for awhile now. It automatically inputs c and fails the install. Anyways libglvnd-glx isn't available in openSUSE but libglvnd is and is installed.

Try using --install rpm and not the default installation method (repo).
The rpms in my repo are built for Fedora/CentOS so they won't work on SUSE. You need to build the SUSE RPM on SUSE using --install rpm (or --build if you want to manually install it later). SUSE users can create their own repository for other users using --createrepo or --service jriver-createrepo to automatically build the latest version. At some point in the future I may add a SUSE repo, but I'll need to enable cross-building first and make sure we get reliable rpms.
BryanC:
I just released a new version with SUSE RPM cross-building. Eventually I may host a SUSE RPM but I'm migrating infra so for now just use the --install rpm method on SUSE.
