installJRMC - MC installer for Linux
Awesome Donkey:
I'll probably get Mint 22 and double check it later.
Been meaning to ask but can any sort of script auto-update be implemented? Like it checks for script updates on start then downloads/applies/restarts the script to run the new one sort of deal? I would imagine there's multiple users who are using older versions without knowing there's an update.

Done in 1.3.1. Thanks for the idea, now I can "push" changes to installJRMC service timers like createrepo.
If installJRMC is in a git repo it will pull and run the new version. If it's not in a git repo, it will download, update, and run the latest version. Hopefully this is the last time anyone will need to download installJRMC! ;D
Also fixed Linux Mint issues and tested on Jammy.
Required some larger refactoring so testing would be appreciated.

Using 1.3.1 to install MC33 on Linux Mint 21.3, I got the following problem with the user service that was created:
The service was constantly restarting and showed the following status:
--- Code: ---systemctl --user status jriver-mediacenter
● jriver-mediacenter.service - JRiver Media Center 33
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/user/jriver-mediacenter.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: activating (auto-restart) (Result: core-dump) since Wed 2024-09-18 14:51:17 AEST; 8s ago
Process: 15701 ExecStart=/usr/bin/mediacenter33 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
Process: 15702 ExecStop=/usr/bin/mc33 /MCC 20007 (code=dumped, signal=SEGV)
Main PID: 15701 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
CPU: 101ms
--- End code ---
I looked at the service file and commented out the 'Environment=DISPLAY=' line (file shown below) and then the service started normally.
/usr/lib/systemd/user/jriver-mediacenter.service
--- Code: ---[Unit]

EDIT:
Looking into this a bit more, neither of the Environment statements are required for Linux Mint 21.3 as they are already set:

If Environment=DISPLAY is included, it should be: Environment=DISPLAY=:0 (on my system)

Thanks, that should be fixed now, it was legacy cruft from old Debian systemd.
Also, since installJRMC is now self-updating I'm dropping versioning from the release zips to simplify things.

Thanks, really appreciate the effort you put into this incredibly useful utility.
