PLEASE NOTE -- MC29 is now available (https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,131902.msg914339.html#msg914339)
You can now purchase a JRiver Media Center 28 upgrade license at a discount. All licenses are for MC28 and can also be used with MC27.0.79 or higher. MC28 is available on the Download Page (https://jriver.com/download.html).
MC28 will continue to improve throughout the year. Minor upgrades are free.
We appreciate your support for this wonderful product, team, and forum! We're very proud of what we've done and all the people who have helped. THANK YOU !
Upgrade Prices
You can use an upgrade license from any previous version of JRiver Media Center, even Media Jukebox 8.0, to upgrade.
The special price to order an upgrade for Windows, Mac or Linux is temporarily $19.98. A Master License upgrade for all three OS's is $27.98.
INSTRUCTIONS
To direct you, we need to check a few things.
Have you ever purchased MC?
If not, there is no upgrade price. Sorry. Here's how to download and purchase (https://jriver.com/purchase.html) a license.
Do you have your Registration Code for your older version?
If not, you can email it to yourself Here (https://rover.jriver.com/cgi-bin/restore_email.cgi?displayemail=1).
Now you're ready to purchase, but we need to know what OS you have and what license you want.
Are you planning to use more than one OS?
If so, you will need a Master License, which works with Windows, Mac, and Linux. You can purchase from the Help menu of a current version or you can go here:
Master License Upgrade (https://jriver.com/purchase_29_master_as_upgrade.html) (direct link) $39.98 $34.98.
Or do you only need Windows or only Mac or only Linux?
Then you can get the new license here:
Windows Upgrade (https://jriver.com/purchase_29_as_upgrade.html) (direct link) $27.98 $22.98.
Mac Upgrade (https://www.jriver.com/purchase_29_mac_as_upgrade.html) (direct link) $27.98 $22.98.
Linux Upgrade (https://www.jriver.com/purchase_29_linux_as_upgrade.html) (direct link) $27.98 $22.98.
Problems
Requires MC28 from the Download Page. This MC29 license will also work with the final releases of MC28.
Is your license not accepted when you upgrade?
Make sure you're on the right upgrade page.
Use copy and paste. 0 (zero) and O (letter) look alike. So do 1 (number one) and l or I (letters).
Don't have your license? Visit the Restore Page (https://rover.jriver.com/cgi-bin/restore.cgi) and use option #2 to email yourself your license(s).

I bought my MC license now - to everybody, please support this marvelous MC team.

Hola, buenas tardes, ahora mismo solo tengo el programa de prueba, es decir, no lo he comprado todavía. ¿Entiendo que, para comprar la licencia de la versión 28, antes he tenido que comprar el programa con una versión anterior...??
Muchas gracias y un saludo.

I´m on the upgrade train.
Still hoping for a way of selecting individual stars, directors, producers, writers, and so on and from there drill down to what movies that particular member´s in and from there selecting a movie and so forth.
Keep up the good work! :D

I just pre-ordered MC28. Every time I pre-order I save the .mjr file on my Win10 machine & double click it but can never tell if it is applied to my current install. When I look at the Help->Registration Info it shows my current version (27.27.0.85) is registered but I can't tell if the upgrade is registered. What do I need to do to make sure my new registration code has been applied? Thanks in advance.
-
I accidentally bought the license twice.
Can I get a refund for one?
-
+1 :)

The license was installed and will work when you install MC28.

Yes. You can use your old license to upgrade to a different OS or to a Master license.

I want to fill you in on a possible issue. I upgraded using PayPal as a payment method, however once I finished the transaction, I was redirected to JRiver confirmation page stating that there was a verification error. However, I got the new email with the new product activation key. Is there going to be any issues. I did submit the PayPal Transaction ID and the email address I use with JRiver still stated a Verification error.

Just purchased. Long live JRiver - the best program out there ;D

I appreciate this offer. My version of MC is a few years old. Is there a place where the features/improvements of each of the succeeding upgrades are described so that we may see if this upgrade would meet our needs? Thank you.

Best way is to scour the release notes for each major Media Center version. You can also scroll down to the bottom of the forums (on the main forums page) to Old Versions and look at each specific old Media Center section, and each should have a New in MCXX topic listing some of the changes.

Hi! I have a MAC license for JRiver MC 27 and would like to take advantage of the pre-order for MC 28. But I'd like to play around with MC 28 for Windows. Can I pre-order upgrade to a Master License?
Thanks for everything.

Are there any plans to include Qobuz streaming as part of the package or an enhanced package at extra charge?
I have been continuing with my MC upgrades because I appreciate and respect the community involvement and help in development. I think the MC interface with its multitude of user options is fabulous and it would be my preferred choice, but I stopped using it because I cannot stream Qobuz via DLNA/ethernet.
So I've switched to Audirvana, but I'd go back to MC in a heartbeat if I could get Qobuz.
-

Do a search of the forums, Jim (JRiver's CEO) has said multiple times they have no plans on doing any integrations of streaming services like Qobuz, Tidal, etc. Their stance on that likely hasn't changed.

Is this ending 5/20 or as it says with master license...
"Master License Upgrade (direct link) $27.98 through July 1."
Or is master date upgrade different?

Continue enjoying JRiver so to help with support purchased a Master License for MC28.

Just purchased MC28 because JimH did a solid last year for me regarding the MC27 update.

Hello,
Gentleman and Lady’s.
When will JRiver have up to 16xDSD Native ASIO support?
I’m very curious to try that out for my usb dac as soon
As it is availlable.
I hope it’s coming soon :D
With greetings from,
Richard Kroes.
-
ASIO is a driver that comes from the manufacturer of the sound device, not from JRiver. JRiver usually supports whatever it can do.
-
Is there even any 16xDSD content out there? Seems a bit pointless to me, to be perfectly honest.
-
I'm planning to upgraded to MC28 immediately.
I've always had the Windows version but in the past year purchased by first idPi with MC. Do I need a master license to include upgrades for the Pi or are those included? Another thread I saw mentioned Option 12 for upgrading but I wasn't sure if a license was needed. Thanks!

I bought a Master link for MC28 and intended to change my email at the same time, but when I clicked on the link I received a message saying I was using MC27 for Windows and to use the correct link instead (or something to that effect). I always buy Master Link upgrades, so I thought the problem occurred because I was trying to change my email address and at the time I was using a Windows version of MC27. I assumed that was causing what caused the problem. I decided to repurchased the Master link for MC28 using my old email address and that seems to be working or at least I think it is. When I opened MC27 I see at the top a message: "Moving to MC28 From An Older Version." Now, how do I go about receiving a refund for my first purchase? The Link I'm not using is Media Center28 Master-530761. The one I am using is Media Center28 Master-530763. Thanks for your help. Karl

Correct.

Thanks Jim.
Done, upgraded from MC 22 to 28.
I have an issue with the time remaining on a playlist. How do I rectify this?
In MC 22 I could see the total time a playlist had remaining but I can't see that in MC 28.
Many thanks

Is it possible to downgrade a master license 27 to a Windows 28 with buying a Windows version update?
-
Yes.

Hi, just purchased MC28 and I now have downloaded file: Media Center28 Master-532434.mjr.
If I double click on this file I get a message that says -- Your license is for a different product. WHAT?
I wish your installation instructions were more specific and clear.
What am I to do with this mjr file?
How do I get MC28 installed over my MC25?
Thank you.
Zaro

Install MC28 first. https://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Restoring_a_License

I think i just paid for the upgrade to 27 due to being off the grid/moving across the country for the past year, so is there a way to avoid paying again?? i literally got it like a month ago i think.
if i have to , i will, but couldnt hurt to ask! ive also bought licenses regularly since like...v16 or something.

Hello!
I have an MC 27 but I can't upgrade to 28 using the same License Code. Does it mean that, even as a MC 27 owner, I have to pay for the new version?
Thanks!!

That's correct, but please read the first post in this thread to see the reduced price.

I already have and use MC28. For some unknown reason when I play one file it plays on MC27. This is not my preference but I don't mind either. If this is a problem, let me know and advise me what to do about it and I will. Thanks.

File associations. Check your settings in MC's options for File Types. Disable all for MC27.

Hello. Trying to upgrade from MC22 to 28 via the upgrade pricing. When I click the link from the email and enter my registration from MC22, I go to a page which says that product is no longer available. Therefore, I am not able to purchase using the upgrade price or the special upgrade price. Any suggestions?
-
Download and install MC28.0.103 or higher.

This is the same issue I am having as mentioned above but I am just trying to upgrades from MC22 to MC28 for Windows. Would I just download from the download page and install as well? How do I confirm, I am able to get the 'special' upgrade pricing?
-
Please try again. Yes, you can download and install. Use MC28.0.103 or higher.

Impressive support team!
I bought a new license for MC28 right now just to thanks you all for the quality of your support!

Hi. I thought I had MC28 and went ahead and bought the upgrade to MC29. But I had MC27, and I can't find any way to buy MC27 -> MC28 upgrade now to rectify the situation. What do I do?

Download and install the latest build of MC28 from the Download Page. It will work with an MC29 license.

I'm traveling and trying to do the upgrade from mobile device and don't get any screen to enter the 28 registration code. I've clicked a hundred times on different upgrade links and cannot purchase. Driving me crazy!

Not working for my android 9. This is what I see. Is it possible to purchase an upgrade with my mobile phone? Or, must the upgrade be.done from the computer where it is installed?
-
Question:
1. Will v28 still offer 32 bit builds?
2. Will v28 still offer Internet Explorer as the "Web Browser"?
I am stuck on the 32 bit builds due to my use of the "PlayingNow" plugin which is critical as it notifies my HomeAutomation system of track changes.
I cannot use the other browser options... as anything other than Internet Explorer causes MediaCenter to blank my screen periodically for unknown reasons.

I would like to upgrade but have no access to my computer. How can I upgrade using my Android phone? The Purchase page is not providing an option and no one has responded to my email or previous two posts. Seems to me this should not be so difficult.

Hello,
I just successfully converted my Windows install from MBR to GPT (to enable UEFI, secure boot, nvidia REBAR and all that). There was one error message that a lot of people get when doing that but I don't think it matters for JRiver MC : "failed to update reagent.xml" (fixed it afterwards by disable/enabling Windows recovery feature)
But there was one interesting and unintended consequence: it broke my JRiver license 🙂
So, I first tried to restore the license I already had, and it kept saying successful but without doing anything. Still in trial mode.
So, since I was on a very old version (MC25) and there are some cool new features that I want in JRiver MC28/29 - I upgraded my licence and downloaded the latest JRiver MC28 installer.
Installed in normal mode (not portable) and tried the new licence I got: it says successful everytime and yet... remains in trial mode. Tried rebooting Windows and all but makes no difference.
Tried both the .mjr file and the "online way" through the JRiver application, same result.
Any ideas?
Thanks
-
It's probably security related. Something is preventing MC from finishing the license installation or from checking.
Possibly Windows Defender. There is a thread on it here.
But it's also possible that MC25 and not MC28 is installing the license. Uninstall MC25 or rename the folder it's in.
I may move this to a new thread.
-
Ok I have resolved the issue and got MC28 to work.
I am using the "Defer feature updates" in Windows since I usually like to wait a little while before receiving major and potentially buggy updates (this machine is not very exposed so security isn't a huge deal). I forced the latest Windows feature update (21H2), rebooted and reinstalled MC25 and applied the license, this "worked" but every time I closed the application it would "lose" the license and ask for it again. Weird.
Ok whatever - I figured I would try MC28. And... it works totally fine! So I simply imported my MC25 library into MC28 and all is well now.
(I don't know why my MC25 is broken, I have tried to fully uninstall and reset the license (before messing around with MC28 I mean) but well I don't care since I have MC28 up and running I have no need for it anymore)
-
Thanks for reporting what you found.
