This is a BETA version of MC24 for Linux. Please post bugs here. Please start a new thread for anything requiring discussion. Non-bug posts will be deleted.
Download:
amd64 http://files.jriver.com/mediacenter/test/MediaCenter-24.0.24-amd64.deb
Also in the beta repo.
24.0.24 (5/3/2018)
1. Fixed: The file browser wasn't working in a few places (i.e. Languages->Browse Translations Folder)
2. Changed: Another tweak to registration. Will require re-entering the license key on intel based linux platforms.
3. NEW: Work on the integrated browser (not implemented yet) requires the addition of webkit2 library dependencies to the .deb
4. Fixed: Added the libgomp dependency to the .deb
24.0.19 (4/29/2018)
1. Fixed: Tooltip box shadows were offsetting the text below the shadow.
2. NEW: Text edit boxes now have a more convenient way to add Latin characters with diacritics. Press and hold a letter key and a list of choices with diacritical versions for that letter is shown to choose from.
3. Fixed: On ARM the non-sse bilinear rendering wasn't properly handling the alpha channel resulting in some see through icons.
24.0.18 (4/24/2018)
1. Changed: Updated FFmpeg to version 4.0, used for file analysis, transcoding and video playback.
2. Changed: Optimized Video rendering image uploading for better performance and reliability.
24.0.16 (4/17/2018)
1. FIXED: A significant memory leak.
24.0.15 (4/13/2018)
1. NEW: Added support for bilinear image resizing (on ARM which didn't have it before) so that images in the program will look much better.
2. Fixed: A segfault upon startup with systems that have non-standard /dev tree.
24.0.12 (4/10/2018)
1. Fixed: Non-Root users on linux couldn't send WOL packets.
2. Fixed: Removed unsupported print commands from menus.
3. NEW: Much faster FFT code for places where spectrum analysis is used.
4. Changed: Some licensing code. Registration code will need to be re-entered.
24.0.2 (02/03/2018)
1. NEW: First MC24 build for linux

Sorry about the registration change, hopefully the last time..
Because of the dependency changes it will be useful to know how this works on other distros.
I tried it successfully on ubuntu 17.10 and 16.10

For Arch Linux would the correct webkit2 to use be webkit2gtk (https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/webkit2gtk/)?
-
That sounds right.
We should probably be switching the GTK2 dep to GTK3 (after code changes), because Webkit2Gtk is for GTK3 as well.

After a quick run-through, seems okay here on TumbleWeed after I restored the license.

Looks like it's working fine on Arch Linux too (after adding webkit2gtk to the dependencies list).

First: MC no longer forgets license. Very good and thanks again Bob. ;D
The problem:
I have not saved my collection of Web Radio channels in Connected Media. I organized the collection via the Genre field. For this I have created an extra database view. I'm not sure if it can be related to that, that's why I mention it.

An example: I hear a web radio station
DI Radio Digital Impulse - Jazz
http://5.39.71.159:8950/stream (http://5.39.71.159:8950/stream)
The station is tagged as in Bild1
After some time, The name of the radio station disappears, and the track being played is displayed instead of the name.
This happens at laest when I click on another station in MC.
Bild 2
When I finish playing, the tag field "name" is empty
When I try to enter the correct name in the tag window something very strange happens:
If I try to write the word jazz, the second "z,, it appears a selection with different accents, from which I can select an item. But the right "z" does not exist in the selection. This happens with all double letters. And is very annoying.
See Bild 3
Can you understand that or explain it?
