Title: Custom Resources Folder location on Raspberry Pi
Post by: HaWi on January 25, 2024, 11:18:00 am

I have recently updated from MC31 to MC32 on my Raspberry Pi4 and it seems the Custom Resources folder didn't make it. Can someone please tell me where to put it. I'm running Debian Bullseye on the Pi
many thanks,
Hans

Next to Resources.  Same level.

Thanks Jim,

I put the Custom Resources folder with the correct Resource.xml file into the /usr/lib/jriver/Media Center 32/Data folder but I am not getting my custom keyboard short-cuts. Is this the correct location?
many thanks,

Hans

Custom Resources are user based, not system based so they go in the user app data area which on linux is
~/.jriver/Media\ Center\ 32/Data/Custom\ Resources

That should probably get added to the library copy on initial installation.

Edit: It probably was copied, with a trailing backslash. Some old legacy windows code made it in. I blame microsoft for not using the normal slash convention. It's been a very long cursed legacy of DOS.

Thanks Bob,
I wonder whether the latest Windows versions still have some DOS kernel (based on CP/M) left. I don't understand enough of this but someone told me once that Windows is like an onion with many new layers added to the original DOS-CP/M kernel as it evolved.

It seems I'm unable to find the .jriver folder anywhere on my Pi4. I suspect the leading dot may have something to do with that? Is it a hidden folder?
EDIT: I was able to find the folder. Removing the trailing \ solved the problem.

Yes. `ls -a` in terminal or Ctrl-H in Nautilus.

Thank you Bryan!
I remembered I could show hidden files and was then able to remove the trailing \ from the Custom Resources folder and all is working now.
