Bob, is there a switch to switch to the Chromiun engine like the built-in? Because when testing on Ubuntu (Wayland) MC wouldn't start correctly for me to switch the browser engine back to Chromiun and I ended up having to restore User Settings.ini to fix it. Might be handy for those situations if one doesn't already exist.

No, but of course I figured that'd be coming

Adding a /ChromiumBrowser command line arg.

Also, for the systems with XWayland, you can work around the issue with GTKWebKit by doing the following:
GDK_BACKEND=x11 mediacenter34 /BuiltInBrowser

it's a bug in XWayland, not sure when/if they'll fix it.

[bob]

Here is a new package that fixes the WebKitGTK engine startup on XWayland and adds a /ChromiumBrowser startup switch:
https://files.jriver.com/mediacenter/test/MediaCenter-33.0.72-4-amd64.deb
Please test, especially on non-bookworm distros, thanks!

Because of the way Wayland is constructed it doesn't appear likely that XWayland will fix the issue so we work around it.

It runs now on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. But it doesn't load web pages, seeing this in the terminal...

Oooof, WebKit bugs. But switching to Chromium does work so it's an option.

I'll see if I can work around that one. Thanks for checking.

Testing the Debian 12 VM that uses X11.

WebKit doesn't appear to load pages there either, can't tell. There's no errors in the terminal though, other than this related to gstreamer...

Code: [Select]

** (WebKitWebProcess:10570): WARNING **: 12:13:36.760: The GStreamer FDK AAC plugin is missing, AAC playback is unlikely to work.

I have a feeling this may be related to the VM itself and VMware, which honestly these days is kinda bad, but VirtualBox is worse so I guess pick the ol' poison. Only other thing in the terminal this run was this (but can probably ignore it too like the gstreamer stuff)...

Code: [Select]

JRBasicWnd::OnUserMessage - Unhandled User Message! message = 41943072, wParam = 83886081, lParam = 0

JRBasicWnd::OnUserMessage - Unhandled User Message! message = 41943072, wParam = 0, lParam = 0

Moving on to /ChromiumBrowser on the Debian 12 X11 VM has an interesting result too. It doesn't load pages, in fact trying to click on one of the pages under Streaming seems to lock MC up completely with a few errors...

Not sure what to think about that one, and there is one Chromium-related message there so maybe it didn't download the plugin. Will check the folder.

Regardless, progress!

Chromium is broken on some platforms WRT gpu acceleration. There is no way to fix it as it is unfortunately. Perhaps a newer build of the plugin might fix the error, we'll have to wait to see when Hendrik does another build.

installJRMC 1.5.0 now supports the release specifier for --mcversion when using --install=local i.e. ./installJRMC --install=local --mcversion=33.0.72-4
For MC34 my fedora repos will adopt release specifiers as well.
Cleaned up installation issues on RHEL, SUSE, and Arch for newer dependencies.
And a few general bug fixes.

Using installJRMC 1.5.0 I was able to test 33.0.72-4 on the following distros:

RHEL 9.5 (AlmaLinux)
Failed installation, unmet dependencies.

Code: [Select]

Error:
 Problem: conflicting requests
  - nothing provides freetype >= 2.11 needed by mediacenter33-33.0.72-4.x86_64 from @commandline
  - nothing provides glibc >= 2.35 needed by mediacenter33-33.0.72-4.x86_64 from @commandline
  - nothing provides pango >= 1.50 needed by mediacenter33-33.0.72-4.x86_64 from @commandline
  - nothing provides webkit2gtk4.1 needed by mediacenter33-33.0.72-4.x86_64 from @commandline

glibc is at 2.34, pango at 1.48.7, freetype 2.10.4, no webkit2gtk4 (only webkit2gtk3).
I have not tested --compat, I'm guessing glibc will nerf it, maybe the next point release will bump it.
