MC 33 with Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS - intermittent file not found error on playback
Awesome Donkey:
There shouldn't be a MC33 folder, but then again I've never done an library backup from Windows to Linux.
One tip I have is to make sure you have hidden files enabled in the Files app in Ubuntu, otherwise you may not see some files. My only other tip would be to make sure to never start mediacenter33 with sudo or su or anything like that, as that can and will cause issues.
The platform.jmd file should be located here:
If you're not opposed to starting over with MC, you could clear the existing library and re-import the library backup. Instead this time open the library backup .zip file, open the platform.jmd file in a text editor and change the contents from [Platform]=Windows to [Platform]=Linux and save it and make sure it's in the .zip file and then import that. If you're unable to do that, you could upload your library backup here and I can make the platform modification for you.

Yes, Awesome Donkey & Zybex, I am starting to think I should uninstall MC33 and start over. What's the best way to thoroughly uninstall MC 33 fully so that all of these files are properly deleted including these multiple program files? I'm thinking about how messy and incomplete uninstall can be in Windows.

The MC33 "folder" in /usr/lib/jriver is not a folder, it's a symlink to the Media Center 33 folder. It's necessary for the main program and the libraries to find each other. You should NOT remove it!

I edited platform.jmd to Linux and restarted the machine. Now, I am getting the file not found error. What's the best way to uninstall MC 33 and start over?
Awesome Donkey:
Delete the .jriver folder in the Home directory, though you could move it to another directory like Downloads so it's backed up, just in case.
