Just randomly playing with the UI will make it unresponsive. Opening up the streaming (youtube) makes the CPU 100%.
This player is totally unusable on my minipc.

We support Debian. Other distros may work. Read the threads here on installing them.
Desktops commonly won't work. Try another.

Ouch, should have read it carefully before upgrading my license.
Any idea why it doesn't work on Fedora is it because of the Wayland? If that's the case, then latest Ubuntu is also no go. It's a PITA to keep reinstalling just because one software.

Desktop.

What do you mean with desktop?

Odd, I'm running Media Center 29 in Fedora 36 using GNOME's Wayland session and it's been fine.
You can switch GNOME to use X11 by logging out in Fedora and selecting the Gnome XOrg session from the session picker on the login screen.
-
On Fedora make sure to disable CoW for MC directories if you are using btrfs on /. installJRMC should handle this automatically for you if that is the method you installed MC.
I can't say I've run into similar "freezing" issues on F36, but working with the tag editor or other large database operations will certainly be faster when CoW is disabled.

Thanks, I'll give x11 a try.
Oh I'm using ext4, not really comfortable with btrfs.

on X11, jriver performs much better but the UI freezes once I pause or stop the video.
With VLC, it is also acting weirdly (control gone when fullscreen). Looks like I really need to look for other distros.
edit:
error message when I presse paused on jriver
JRBasicWnd::OnUserMessage - Unhandled User Message! message = 1026, wParam = 0, lParam = 0

So i flashed to Linux Mint Debian Edition 5, it works there. But the bluetooth didn't work, so I flashed back to Fedora 36.
Now suddenly it works OK on my minipc with Fedora 36. Weird stuff.

These can safely be ignored. They are almost always references to functions used in the windows API that don't apply to linux.
