I can drop the requirement level on the next build since Hendrik thinks the ABI hasn't changed.

In the meantime I've added a workaround to remove the libxcb minimum version requirement for Fedora/CentOS to my dev branch. Beginning with 31.0.13 RPMs using the workaround are also available from my repo.

BryanC:
rc9 fixes a few service file issues on Fedora between reboots and temporarily switches to the stub for terminating the jriver-mediacenter service more gracefully via systemd to prevent data loss. To update service files just run installJRMC --service jriver-mediacenter.

Hi. Sorry to bother, but I'm trying to install MC 30 on an Ubuntu box, Intel i7. Obviously I'm doing something wrong, but cannot figure out what. Please advise.

Awesome Donkey:
Generally speaking, Ubuntu 20.04 might be too old to run MC30 (or MC31) and I wouldn't personally recommend doing so. Ubuntu 22.04 would be my personal recommendation as the bare minimum. That said, you can try using the --install local option with the --compat flag to install MC30. Something like this...


--- Code: ---sudo ./installJRMC --install local --compat --restorefile /home/allan/Documents/Media\ Center30\ Master-573853.mjr --mcversion 30.0.96
--- End code ---

The public key issue is odd and could be an indication that Ubuntu 20.04 is too old when trying to use/install from the MC bullseye repo. Using the --install local option *should* workaround this and download/build the package locally, and using the --compat flag ensures it uses the bare minimum needed for dependencies (and is helpful with some distros and older distros). If it still fails to install using the --install local option with --compat flag that's likely confirmation Ubuntu 20.04 is too old.
