I got this output:

Last few lines...

Any Archlinux users with similar/same output?  I'm not having any issues with my O/S at all.

Any response would be appreciated.

The package maintainer likely forgot to update the SHA256 checksum in the PKGBUILD.

Should be fine now.

Yes, thanks.

I'm on Arch (Linux 5.13.4-arch1-1 x86_64) which is fully updated, and have noticed that 28.0.42, although functional, occasionally loses the ability to expand window size and also the ability for the window to be moved on the desktop.  I have a new Samsung SSD on /dev/sdb1 mounted as /Music, and wonder whether this behavior is related to the fact that JRiver 28's executable is on /dev/sda1 in /usr/bin (and /usr/lib).  Sometime it works, sometimes not.  I wonder whether there is something buggy with the O/S or my hardware as opposed to MC's code.  MC43 beta is not in the Aur repo and I don't like using "alien" to install .deb files.  If the next iteration fixes things, then we'll know it was the code.

The window-related stuff has been a known issue with Media Center. You could try manually building (by editing the AUR PKGBUILD and building yourself) the latest 28.0.43 beta to see if it's any better as it has updated drawing code for Linux. Maybe it'd improve the window stuff?

Thanks for your response.  I'll try what you suggest.  I'll build the latest beta manually and see if that eliminates the issues.
