We're in transition on licensing, so you may need to use the latest build of MC33, or wait for MC34.  It's coming very soon.

Could you get me a version 33 license if that would solve my probem?

JimH:
No.  Just use MC 33.0.72

Sorry to insist, but I want to get this up and running.

Here's what I did:
./installJRMC --uninstall
then sudo rm -rf /home/erwin.jriver
then sudo ./installJRMC --mcversion 33.0.72

After that, I try to start from terminal, and I first get the empty frame of the pop-up from Media Center.
After a while the 4 buttons appear at the bottom of the still empty frame: Purchase - Find License - Restore License - Extend Trial

And that's it.
No way to enter the license nothing. When I press "Find license" I can input my 34 license. Then it is the same scenario.
The pop-up shows another pop-up mentioning the license is ok and then the pop-up(s) close.

Are there any command line extra's to start verbose or to show the status or interrogate for the version?

Thanks for sticking with me and helping out!

Though it's probably a typo but just in case this one's not correct, it should be...


--- Code: ---sudo rm -rf /home/erwin/.jriver
--- End code ---

However if you're using MC 33.0.72 it'll accept a MC34 license. It may be a weird Debian thing. Honestly, I would recommend switching to Ubuntu instead, much easier to get things up and running. But...

Don't run installJRMC as sudo, it'll prompt you for authentication when it needs it. Running it or mediacenter33 itself as sudo will cause issues with permissions, plugins, etc. This is the command I use on fresh installs of Ubuntu/Debian/Mint for the installJRMC script...


--- Code: ---mkdir installJRMC && cd installJRMC && wget https://git.bryanroessler.com/bryan/installJRMC/raw/master/installJRMC && chmod +x ./installJRMC && ./installJRMC --install repo --mcversion 33.0.72 -d
--- End code ---

This will create a installJRMC folder in your Home directory and put the script it in and run it from there (it can be handy to keep around). It'll also add the repository (good for updates) and download and install the latest MC from the repo (33.0.72) and finally it has the debug output enabled during the install process. If you have the .mjr license file you can also use the --restorefile switch with the above command to auto-install the license, e.g. --restorefile /path/to/license.mjr and it'll take care of it too. You can also switch out --install repo with --mcrepo bookworm if desired.

Alternately you can use mediacenter33 /RestoreFromFile /path/to/license.mjr to register MC with a .mjr license from the Terminal. Of course make sure to adjust the path to the actual .mjr file and make sure are no spaces in the file name (remove them if they're present).
