MC 33 with Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS - intermittent file not found error on playback

<< < (5/9) > >>

bob:
When you delete the .jriver/Media Center 33 folder, if you were running on a trial you will lose it and have to install the license.

Okay.  I have successfully reinstalled Media Center with my license key and it appears to run fine.  After importing my music, I tried restoring the library with the platform.jmd file edited before restore to indicate Linux instead of Windows.  I verified in the .jriver/Media Center 33/Library folder that platform.jmd as installed indeed says Linux. 

Attached is a screen shot of what happens when I try to do a find & replace to change the file path.  It looks like the find and replace is insisting on pointing to the default Linux music directory which is not where my music library lives.  I have attached an image of the screenshot since I don't know how to post an image here in this message.  If you look at the Replace With path, you will see it's different than the New file path in the Preview box.  Is this a bug or a feature? :)?

That's just a default, you need to enter whatever you require.

- select "Update Database to point to new location" on the dropdown
- uncheck the "Directories" and "Filename" boxes, leave just "Find and Replace"
- Find What: enter your previous C: folder path, like "C:\Music" or "C:\users\sophie\Music"
- Replace with: enter your new path on that Linux install, like "/media/sophie/music"

Check the Preview panel to make sure it will do the right thing.

You may also need to do another replace of \ to / on all files (not sure if that's needed)

Also, you don't need to import your music before doing a DB restore - the restore will just replace all your imported files anyway. You can do a restore on a blank library, then do the Rename to point the restored files to the new location.

Awesome Donkey:
When doing the find and replace, do it on a few files first then try to play one to see if they function correctly.

I was able to restore the library and change the properties to point to the correct Linux filename.  After I did it, I was able to play songs.  Then, I restarted the machine and restarted MC 33 and got the file not found error again.  I wonder if there is something going on at the system level.  What logs might help me track down what's happening?
