Setup JRiver Media Center 21 in Fedora 64-bit

(1/5) > >>

BryanC:
Here is an update to RemyJ's install script for Media Center 21 64-bit on Fedora 22-23. I've changed a few things to my own liking.

To run:

In mediacenter-21/SPECS:


--- Code: ---./rpmbuild 21.0.83
--- End code ---

(where 21.0.83 is the current version)

(note: the following is not required in latest mediacenter-21-experimental, script will install rpm automatically):

--- Code: ---sudo dnf install ../RPMs/x86_64/MediaCenter-21.0.83-23.fc23.x86_64.rpm
--- End code ---


This will upgrade your current MC21 installation in the package manager but will not point the new installation to your old library. I suggest that you make a library backup and do a library restore in the new install.

To install your .mjr license:


--- Code: ---mediacenter21 /RestoreFromFile YOURMEDIACENTER21MJRFILE.mjr
--- End code ---


Cheers and thanks again to RemyJ for the initial work on the script.

Update (8/27/15): Fixed the comment version
Update (8/29/15): Updated to include new MIME type handling and gnutls support introduced in MC 21.0.5 (mediacenter-21.zip)
Update (12/17/15): Simplified build script (experimental, for fc20+ only). Raised rpmbuild version requirements to >= 4.12.0 (mediacenter-21-experimental.zip)
Update (2/16/16): Streamlined installation following rpmbuild (requires sudo permissions to install) (mediacenter-21-experimental.zip)

Thank you for this.

RemyJ:
Hey Bryan,

Thanks for updating the script.  I'm giving 21 another chance under Linux.

iNeedHelp:
I am a long time JRiver user under Windows but just went away from Windows and am brand new to Fedora 23 and liking it so far. I down loaded the MediaCenter-21.0.2.deb package and am interested in learning how to install it hopefully with an automated package manager, but if not would like to see links that will get a new to Linux person as myself to be able to install and use JRiver on my now only computer running Fedora 23. I know this is not your issue, I am willing to take the time to learn I just need pointed in the right direction, keeping in mind I have only a few days experience with Fedora and just learning the basic commands.

Awesome Donkey:
I've not tried installing MC on Fedora, but looking at the RemyJ/BryanC's script (that's attached to the first post) you'll need to change the first command to match to the latest 20.0.16 version available. Other than that, the script should do all the work for you.

Try this, does it work?


--- Code: ---./rpmbuild 21.0.16
--- End code ---

Then install using the second command - make sure you modify the .rpm filename to whatever the script creates.

I might have to download Fedora and create a virtual machine to test this.

P.S. You don't need to download the .deb file - the script will automatically do this for you.
