Setup JRiver Media Center 21 In Ubuntu/Linux Mint
lobo85:
Will this install a build higher than 21.0.39? Because that is what got installed when I followed the instructions in this tutorial. Though previously when I have followed this tutorial the latest build got installed. Am I correct in guessing that there is now a "Stable" repository channel for linux. If that is so I would need to add the "Latest" repository channel in order for build 21.0.48-3 to install. I just need to know the proper terminal command to do this. Any help would be appreciated.

No, because the newer builds haven't been pushed to the repository yet as they're in need of testing first. You can see this by reading the latest comments by Bob in the release topics.
To install the newer builds you'll need to download them manually and install them via the Terminal.

I managed to follow the guide and installed MediaCenter 21 to intel NUC 3815 computer. Thank you. :)
If I want to use the music server as headless DLNA server, how do I auto start MediaCenter once turning on Linux and so that I could control it with JRemote Samsung Android tablet?
In addition, is it required to install vnc program X11Vnc to gain control of the desktop for samba file copy and management and how to do it?

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Xenial Xerus
Ubuntu 15.10 Wily Werewolf
Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS Trusty Tahr
Linux Mint 17.3 Rosa
NOTE: This tutorial does borrow ideas and parts done by InflatableMouse and his excellent Debian Wheezy tutorial found here, so please thank him.
Before we continue, please note the following;
- Media Center 21 for Linux is developed on Debian Wheezy 32-bit and Debian Jessie 64-bit - support for distros other than Wheezy 32-bit and Jessie 64-bit, like Ubuntu and Mint is not officially supported!
- This tutorial will focus on the operating systems above, any others you're on your own with.
- This *should* also apply to Ubuntu/Mint derivatives like Xubuntu, Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Ubuntu GNOME, Linux Mint (MATE), Linux Mint (Xfce), etc. However, extra steps may be required!
- Before installing, please read the outstanding issues topic! Many of the issues noted for Debian also apply to Ubuntu/Mint!
Step 1 - Add the JRiver APT Repository:
The APT repository is required to install Media Center 21 and keep Media Center 21 updated with every new release.
First, open a Terminal (by either pressing CTRL+ALT+T or by searching for the terminal in your desktop environment) and either type the following command or copy and paste the command in and press Enter (you *may* be prompted for your password);
--- Code: ---wget -q "http://dist.jriver.com/mediacenter@jriver.com.gpg.key" -O- | sudo apt-key add -
--- End code ---
Next, with the Terminal still open, we need to download and add the correct mediacenter.list file to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ depending if you're using 32-bit or 64-bit so either type one the following commands or copy and paste the command in and press Enter;
If you're using 64-bit Ubuntu/Linux Mint:
--- Code: ---sudo wget http://dist.jriver.com/latest/mediacenter/mediacenter21jessie.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mediacenter21.list
--- End code ---
Or...
If you're using 32-bit Ubuntu/Linux Mint:
--- Code: ---sudo wget http://dist.jriver.com/latest/mediacenter/mediacenter21.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mediacenter21.list
--- End code ---
Finally, we need to reload the packages list, so with the Terminal still open either type the following command or copy and paste the command in and press Enter;
--- Code: ---sudo apt-get update
--- End code ---
NOTE: If you're using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Xenial Xerus you may encounter an error about the repository is insufficiently signed, this is currently just a warning that can be ignored.
That's it! Proceed to step 2!
Step 2 - Installing Media Center 21:
It's finally time to install Media Center 21! First, open a Terminal (by either pressing CTRL+ALT+T or by searching for the Terminal in your desktop environment) or re-use the Terminal from the previous step. Next either type the following command or copy and paste the command in and press Enter (you *may* be prompted for your password);
--- Code: ---sudo apt-get install mediacenter21
--- End code ---
During this process it should say something along the following;
--- Code: ---The following extra packages will be installed:
lame libcue1 libreplaygain1 musepack-tools vorbis-tools
The following NEW packages will be installed:
lame libcue1 libreplaygain1 mediacenter21 musepack-tools vorbis-tools
0 upgraded, 6 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
--- End code ---
However, if you receive an error like;
--- Code: ---dependency problems prevent configuration of mediacenter21:
mediacenter21 depends on ....
--- End code ---
This means all dependencies have not been met. Don't fret, this can usually be taken care of by using the following command in the Terminal by either typing the following command or copying and pasting the command in and press Enter;
--- Code: ---sudo apt-get install -f
--- End code ---
It'll show you the missing dependencies, after looking them over just press enter to install them. Now assuming all dependencies are met, you've been successful at installing Media Center 21 in Ubuntu/Mint! However, I recommend rebooting since this will allow MC to load up fonts correctly - otherwise if you run MC without rebooting first, fonts may look pretty horrendous!
Now, after rebooting you can start Media Center either go into the Unity dash, Mint menu, etc. and search for Media Center 21 or you can run it from the Terminal by either typing the following command or copying and pasting the command in and press Enter;
--- Code: ---mediacenter21
--- End code ---
Now, we're going to cover installing the license for those who have purchased in step 3!
