I have downloaded 32.0.53 on to my raspberry pi 3. Previous to this, I was running version Media Center 24 for many years satisfactorily. The download seemed to go well but just at the end I had  message which said that one file had not installed and that there was more information in the detailed report.....My question is where can I find the detailed report and how do I fix the situation?

Thanks for the link, but I cannot see anything there that might help me find our where the report on the file, which would not install, can be found.

[Awesome Donkey]

If installing from the terminal what error exactly do you see?

You can see debug output by running `./installJRMC --debug`. Which distribution and version are you using?

OK, wasn't sure if you were using native tools or my script.

It looks like your downloaded DEB file is possibly corrupt so you should try redownloading it.

You should probably use the installJRMC script instead of trying to manually install the .deb file in this case.

[bob]

sudo dpkg -i MediaCenter-32.0.53-armhf.deb -debug

Don't add that switch to dpkg.

Also what architecture are you using?
cat /proc/version

You're trying to use the 32-bit armhf build on a 64-bit arm64 (aarch64) OS, which won't work unless multiarch support is enabled, which I would not recommend doing. Instead just download and use the arm64 build of MC32, which should then install and work fine. Make sure you uninstall the partially installed armhf version first (sudo apt remove mediacenter32:armhf).

Do a sudo apt-get install -f or sudo apt install vulkan-icd and that should install the dependency then try the install again.

Now ,I have two media centers on here MC 24 and MC 32....both working....I want to keep MC 24 for the time being ...just in case MC 32 has any problems. I cannot seem to find a StartUp Appliactions App on the RPi where I can switch from MC 24 to MC 32 as the start up option. What am I missing please?

[Awesome Donkey]

Open MC24, go to MC24's Tools menu and select Options. In the Options window go to the Startup section and under Linux Startup if it Run on Linux startup: says Media Center, Media Server or Media Center and Media Server select Nothing then hit OK on the Options window then close MC24 and that should stop it from autostarting. If it already says nothing but it's autostarting try setting it to Media Center and press OK on the Options window then reopen the Options window and go back and set it to Nothing.

OK, I seemed to have it all set up and running (as per MC24), I can see all the songs and the lists....but the darn thing will not play anything...it just refuses to play! I have tried with the hard disk connected directly to the RPi and with it connected through a powered hub. Through the hub I got one song from the playlist and then it would not play anymore....though I could see the songs etc....it just would not play! What am I missing please?

So for example in the screenshot....despite clicking on play all...it only played the one piece and then stopped.....I must be doing something wrong....but this worked on MC 24!!

I would check that your library entries are pointing at the correct file location on your disk and that you have selected a proper Audio Output in the settings.

It appears, Awesome Donkey. that we have been down this path before....(see my latest posting on not being able to play any music).....https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,118444.msg819447.html#msg819447

I am sure I took your advice then (6 years ago) and made a back up disk.....but I have no idea where to even start looking for it.

As I have the same sort of problem now, I guess the answer is to reformulate the sd, download MC again, and compile the library once more.....unless you have any further advice. The sd does not seem to be corrupted as far as I can tell....and I do have a back up somewhere of the library. Awaiting your very useful input (as always) before going down this road. Thank you for all your help over the years.

[MonMul]

Yes that seems to be a problem, thank you for the pointer; as, when I try to play something directly from the Media Centre on the RPI I get the message "Check the filename in the library matches the filename on the disk". I am really not sure what this exactly means and how I go about doing that?

I assume JukeBox11 above is a typo and you meant JukeBox1?

At any rate it looks like it is mounted as the root user.
Since it's an ext4 filesystem you need to change the permissions on mount (and files) to make it readable/writeable as the user or group MC is running under.
What does
ls -l /media/musicpi/JukeBox1
show?
What user are you running MC under (don't use root or sudo).

Because /media/musicpi/Jukebox1 is not accessible by your unprivileged user 'musicpi' the OS or file manager is appending a 1 and mounting it to a new directory. What likely happened is that you had mounted it as root in the past and are now trying to mount as musicpi.

If you want to mount as an unprivileged user (recommended):

• Unmount the existing mount: `sudo umount /media/musicpi/JukeBox11`
• Chown the mount dir: `sudo chown musicpi:musicpi /media/musicpi/JukeBox1`
• Create an entry in /etc/fstab with the `user` option: UUID=0a9923e8-f4f1-414c-b973-3e4ff48b5644 /media/musicpi/JukeBox1 ext4 defaults,x-systemd.device-timeout=0,nofail,user 0 0
• Remount: `mount /media/musicpi/JukeBox1`

Code: [Select]

Depending on the state of the permissions of your files in the /media/musicpi/JukeBox1 directory, you may also want to run `sudo chown musicpi:musicpi -R /media/musicpi/JukeBox1` after the disk has been mounted to set the correct user permissions so they are r/w by musicpi.
