Hello
I have MC29 version 29.0.49 running on my RPI4 (version 11 - Bulleyes) Linux raspberrypi 5.15.32-v7l+ #1538 SMP Thu Mar 31 19:39:41 BST 2022 armv7l GNU
The very last version of MC29 is available for updating, but the update fails with the following message:
"Error installing packages - Error while installing package: unable to stat '/usr/lib/jriver/Media Center 29/Skins/Theater View/Glass/Roller/Selection.png' (which was about to be installed)
tie-breaker question : Under usr/lib/jriver/ I have 2 folders : 'MC29' and 'Media Center 29' both fullfiled with the same folders : Data, Plugins, Skins Visualisation. Is this normal ??
Thanks for your help

It is correct to have those two folders.
However MC29 should be a SYMLINK to Media Center 29, not an actual folder.
It kind of sounds to me like you have some sort of filesystem corruption.
You could try:
sudo apt-get purge mediacenter29
then check to see that /usr/lib/jriver/Media Center 29 and MC29 are gone, if not manually remove them. Next:
sudo apt-get install mediacenter29
You won't lose any of your user files, library, etc by deleting the previous build, all of that is in the users home folder.

Thank you Bob for your help , I now have MC version 20.0.54 running without loosing any file or config
Nevertheless I had some warnings during the process (cf the attached file)
(sorry but my RPI4 is speaking French)

Those seem to indicate that your Pi has a broken configuration, and I'd expect some filesystem corruption.
You should at least make a backup of everything you need on it, with regards to MC, your library and any media you only have on that Pi.

Ok I will re-instal from scratch
The RPI4 is a client of my media server running JRiver as well on a intel nuc (Windows) so it I do not have to worry much about the backup.
By the way which Raspberry PI OS do you recommend ? (32 bit desktop, 32 bits desktop+recommended software or 64 bit Desktop, or PI OS legacy with desktop)

It seems like the 64 bit runs just a little faster with MC on the RPI4 and I don't think there are really any downsides to using it at this point so I guess I'd go with that.
