I have just downloaded and installed MC 20.0.50 onto my Linux Mint Debian Edition. The previous versions of MC 19 and MC20 for Linux worked fine. After installing MC20.0.50, when I try to open MC 20, I get a message that my trial has expired. So, I go back to my MC 20 license and install as directed. I get the message that the license is installed into MC 20, and MC 20 opens and plays. But when I close MC20, I cannot re-open it, but instead get the same message that my trial has expired. I am using the license I received from Deanna Manns on 8/11/14 which matches the MC 20 license I received today from buy-button@jriver.com.

To reiterate briefly:
I cannot open MC 20
When I reinstall the proper license, I get the message that the license is installed. And when I go to the hep section the license is installed to me.
MC20 opens and plays
However when I close MC20 I cannot reopen it without reinstalling the license.
I have gone through this routine several times now.
Help, please.
tlcmd

Help, please

Could you try this?

Make a library backup, File, Library, Backup Library.
Close MediaCenter
Open a terminal, rename the '~/.jriver' directory to 'jriver-old' or something similar.
Start MediaCenter. A new .jriver dir will be created and all your settings will be reset.
Restore your license and see if it sticks. Close and start MC a couple of times.
If it sticks, restore your library: File, Library, Restore Library. FInd the backup you made in step one.

See if that works.

Thanks for bringing the hovering mouse back!  Just one nit pick thing on it, the icon for the upper left and lower right has the correct orientation facing "\" .  But the upper right and lower left also face the same direction and actually should face "/" 

Thanks!

Thanks!

I'm using the base X11 cursors. In that set I didn't find one that faces the other way.
I know there are better ones and the various window managers alter them and I suspect the DM may as well.
Probably will play with this a bit when the time permits..

Of interest, when I finally re-entered my original install key for MC20, it finally "took", but reverted my MC 20.0.50 back to MC 20.0.49. Can anyone explain this?? I think I'll await the next update after 20.0.50 before updating again. Or at least wait until after the holidays.

All y'all have a very Merry Christmas!! And enjoy this number by one of the International Barbershop Chorus Champions of 150 men:

When trying to install on Debian XFCE I get the error:

dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting:
 reading files list for package 'libfile-mimeinfo-perl': Input/output error

Any ideas?

[UdoS]

Open a playlist an leave the focus in the action window causes the screen not to refresh. Moving the focus out of the action window refreshes the screen instantly.

Sounds like an I/O error on your hard drive in the apt package lists directory.

Hello,

MC segfaults several times in a day on a track change (manual or not). Issue seems coming from DSP.
In DSP, I only use "Volume Leveling" and "Equalizer" features.

My setup:
-Hard: Intel Nuc + USB V-DAC II
-OS: Debian Wheezy 32bits (no gui)
-Soft: JRiver 20.0.50
-Remotes: jremote (iphone), eos (Nexus HD)

Last 3 segfault are:
[ 4710.799855] mediacenter20[4082]: segfault at 0 ip a7cddb5c sp a5ca06a0 error 4 in libdsp_Main.so[a7c7e000+2f3000]
[ 9018.407876] mediacenter20[4655]: segfault at 0 ip b46aab5c sp bfb9de60 error 4 in libdsp_Main.so[b464b000+2f3000]
[ 2382.564420] mediacenter20[3559]: segfault at 0 ip b46d4b5c sp aa9b76a0 error 4 in libdsp_Main.so[b4675000+2f3000]

Furthermore I noticed DSP profiles are not loading at all with Linux version. So the feature that makes equalizer changing with the DSP tag won't work. Worse, profiles can't be delete from MC. It has to be done manually in the "User Settings.ini" file.

Hi,
MC is getting better and better, but always I see an old guy back: Windows will open in then background. This sucks, especially working with the database and in full screen mode. (Some windows work normal, some don't)

It is better but there is a lot to do...

25 segfaults in one day. See attachement.

About error 4, I think it is related to "Volume Leveling" in DSP because I disabled this feature and now I only meet error 14 that's far less frequently than error 4.

I can't duplicate your issue. You haven't provided much information.
What file types?
What are the audio settings for track change?
What is your Audio device?
Are you running Debian Wheezy i386? (the supported distro)

[cassfras21]

Hi Bob,

Yes I am running the support distro.

My setup:
-Hard: Intel Nuc + USB V-DAC II
-OS: Debian Wheezy 32bits (no gui)
-Soft: JRiver 20.0.50
-Remotes: JRemote (iphone), eos (Nexus HD)

I wrote more info two posts at the top, with MC attached log for error 4.
The file types are primarily flac, and few mp3.
Files are stored in a nas and shared with NFSv4 to the Nuc.
I added screenshots with the audio settings.

Can you change the audio track change settings to "gapless" and uncheck the don't play silence box. This has a subtle effect on how the audio device is opened/closed.

As for the NFS mount, what is the mountpoint?
Does the issue happen with only the flac files or with both flac and mp3?

[cassfras21]

Done!

The mount point is /mnt/music.

I can't say if the issue happens with mp3 file type but it does with flac for sure. Most of my favorites albums are in flac, so I listen more flac files than mp3 files.

Did the track change settings make a difference?

[cassfras21]

Yes error 4 still happens when "volume leveling" is enabled (maybe less often than before the changes). I got error 14 (few times) and 15 (2 times) before and after changes.

I tried something else, I enabled "playing from memory". I read it was not useful when using nas so I stopped using it but when enabled error 14 and 15 don't happen anymore.

In summary:

playing from memory enabled + volume leveling disabled = 0 segfault for 8 hours of playback

playing from memory enabled + volume leveling enabled = segfaults with error 4 in libdspMain.so

playing from memory disabled + volume leveling disabled = few segfaults with error 14 and very few with error 15

Very odd since I can't reproduce your issue.
Have you tried a memory test?

[bob]

Hi,
MC is getting better and better, but always I see an old guy back: Windows will open in then background. This sucks, especially working with the database and in full screen mode. (Some windows work normal, some don't)

Any particular pattern to this?
Particular windows, certain order?

[cassfras21]

Have you tried a memory test?

Yes I did and it's fine. No error to report.

To clarify the situation:
In my case, check "playing from memory" helps. It solves the error 14 and 15, which is fine. But it doesn't explain why it segfaults when playing files directly from the NAS.

If in addition I disable "Volume leveling", then the error 4 stops, making JRiver very stable.

[mwillems]

One window I can always get to "pop under" is the final confirmation dialog for "Sync Library."  If I manually try to sync a linux client, it will show the "sending changes to the server" dialog, but the "Local Library Has Been Synced With the Server" will always pop under (either under the main window, or under the "sending changes" dialog).

Ok, I think I've found something that may solve this. It will be in the next build.

Hi Bob,

after I did a kernel-update, the problem is gone. What ever I did, I can't reproduce it. So I assume it is fixed.

MC20 audio works great on UbunstuStudio! some tweaks and tricks to get the sound right, but since a studio is not a regular setup I suspect it will always be like that. the sound is amazing with audiofiles up to 4-5000kbps, nice work folks! however, when I tick detach display/Ctrl+6 the display-window sticks at center and over the MC20 window, no edges of any type and can't be moved, resized or anything. trying to play video actually works for about 2 seconds (in the small attached display) then crash, segfault. happens with all video files, other programs running/not running, Mplayer plays the same files without problem so at least I know the setup can handle video. any ideas on this?
