JRiver Media Center 20.0.131 for Debian (Jessie) AMD64

<< < (9/20) > >>

geier22:
I've just installed Mc 108 (over 100]. The window sizing and placement is working very well.

Some small problems:

The icon is not displayed correctly. (in the tray and in the task bar). In my system, there were about 10 mediacenter20.desktop - files
example:
/home/hans/.local/share/applications/mediacenter20.desktop
/home/hans/.local/share/applications/media center 20.desktop

I think these are still some of the i 386 version left. But deleting was not the solution.
Do you have an idea to fix the icon- problem?

One more request:

Since ages the Mini-View does not work. Is it not possible to send the played tracks to the notifications? That would be a Great. The Mini - View would be almost unnecessary.

- By default for whatever reason the window is at the smallest size possible (e.g. on a clean install). If you don't see the faint window shadow, it's very hard to find the window on a large desktop.

- Still can't size the window to fill the entire window space on Ubuntu without maximizing the window. It seems to be a little glitchy, every time I try to size the window, it tends to 'glitch out' and produce a gap on the opposite side.

- I still randomly encounter the issue where the launcher will create multiple icons, e.g. the media center 20.desktop naming issue. It actually might be an internal issue that could potentially exist on Debian as well at random, not sure. I'll need to download Debian and test in my VM.

- The issues with skins, display of album art and closing the tree causing a libX11 segfault which I described here still exists. My video posted there also shows how to reproduce.

There still are some small issues with going between fullscreen/non-full screen.

As for the sizing to almost fullscreen within the desktop with Ubuntu, it appears to me there is something odd going on with the window manager and MC's skin size calculation.
I noticed that you can override this by using the alt-key method of move/resize.

I've never been able to reproduce your startup size issue. As a test you might try removing the Placement settings from the User Settings.ini file and restarting.
Hmm I just did that and reproduced your issue!
However as soon as I moved and expanded the window and exited from MC, it worked the next time.
What is your option setting for startup window mode in MC?

Yes, it saves fine now. My location is last location and the mode is last exit view. I'll keep playing around with it more and see if I can encounter anything else. :) Good work, as always.

Thanks for testing.
I'm trying to implement the checking on window placement that hasn't worked properly in linux to this point.

Awesome Donkey:
An update, I installed MC in a fresh Ubuntu 15.04 VM and noticed several issues.

- When first started MC is at the absolute smallest size possible with the very, very tiny window (with shadow) in the upper left corner.

- When trying to resize the window from above, MC will crash with the following in the terminal;


--- Code: ---*** Error in 'mediacenter20': free(): invalid next size (fast): 0x00000000034afc30 ***
Aborted (core dumped)
--- End code ---

On the positive side, it looks like MC can be installed without first installing any other dependencies (other than the ones installed when you install mediacenter20), which is great! :D
