Title: MC24 on Raspberry Pi?
Post by: rossp on March 14, 2018, 03:01:00 am: So will MC24 be released for the Raspberry PI?
This seems a great feature for the PI.

For Linux, yes, which includes an ARM build that the Pi can run, likely depending on Linux distro used on the Pi.

Post by: verden on March 15, 2018, 02:51:23 pm: I'm running MC 23 on my Pis. Try running this command to bring your Pi up to date:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Post by: Awesome Donkey on March 16, 2018, 05:52:47 am: Have you tried to install the ARM build of 23.0.102 manually using sudo dpkg -i pathtothe.debfile from the Terminal yet? Not sure, but you might need a distro based on Stretch and not Jessie. Not sure if the requirements for MC have increased to Stretch yet or not.

You never mentioned what distro you're using. No doubt this discussion will probably be split off from this topic into its own topic.

Post by: rossp on March 16, 2018, 06:31:25 am: OK that worked but it doesn't get any of the MC22 settings or library. Is there an upgrade option?

you have to do a backup in the old version and then restore into the newer one
Title: Re: MC24 on Raspberry Pi?
Post by: rossp on March 16, 2018, 06:53:50 am: But what about the Xterm with the MC menu items in it. Won't they still control the old MC22 version.

Ross
Title: Re: MC24 on Raspberry Pi?
Post by: rossp on March 16, 2018, 06:58:06 am: I think I will skip MC23 on the Pi and wait for MC24. Silly buying a license for only a few weeks.

Post by: rossp on March 16, 2018, 11:16:08 am: Just a quick one - is there an upgrade price for the Pi version (linux)?

Ross
Title: Re: MC24 on Raspberry Pi?
Post by: JimH on March 16, 2018, 11:51:52 am: Yes. It's the standard Linux license upgrade.
Title: Re: MC24 on Raspberry Pi?

Post by: Abarth on March 23, 2018, 10:44:00 am: If I buy the Id SD Card for Raspberry Pi, planning to run it as a renderer, and the JRiver "server" is on a Windows HTPC, what license do I have to buy? One Linux and one Windows, or this combined, or only Windows?
Title: Re: MC24 on Raspberry Pi?
Post by: JimH on March 23, 2018, 11:57:29 am: The IdPi on a microSD card includes its own license. You would need either a Windows license or a Master license on the Windows machine.

thanks koen
Title: Re: MC24 on Raspberry Pi?
Post by: Awesome Donkey on October 10, 2018, 08:38:21 am: As far as I know, the Raspberry Pi isn't powerful enough to do video. It'll do fine for audio though.

For video you'd probably have to use a NUC or something like that, depending the type(s) of video you're planning to use with it.
Title: Re: MC24 on Raspberry Pi?
Post by: kdwykleingeld on October 10, 2018, 08:40:46 am: thanks ! other experiences are welcome ?

I saw that the pi 3b+ has somewhat more power now ..

It still isn't powerful enough - likely won't be for a couple years. Plus I don't think MC on a Pi supports video either, if I recall correctly.

Like I said, depending on what video content you're intending to use, a NUC might work.

Title: Re: MC24 on Raspberry Pi?
Post by: blgentry on October 10, 2018, 01:04:21 pm: I've been using a Pi3 with MC for a year or so now. It works fine for audio. But it's definitely a low powered box. For instance, you can't really build thumbnails and listen to music at the same time. That will frequently crash MC as the Pi doesn't have enough memory to really do both at once correctly.

So I build thumbnails when I do mass library updates and just let it run for a few hours. Then listen to music for months afterward with few issues.

Building a Pi with Raspbian and MC isn't easy. It's not bad, but it's not simple either. I have a multi-page set of notes on how to do it, mostly copied from AD's great guide he posted on the Linux MC forum, but with a bunch of my own specific stuff that I do for my Pi setup.

Brian.
