Also in the latest and BETA repos.

24.0.52 (9/20/2018)

1. Changed: Only the 64 bit version uses Chromium now, the i386 and arm builds use webkit libraries from the users OS.
2. Changes from the main build.

24.0.46 (8/10/2018)

1. Fixed: Crash under some DM's (Cinnamon, perhaps others) when the file select dialog is closed.
2. Fixed: MC would leave around some files in /run/shm which could cause unexplained behavior and crashes when they accumulated and the process numbers recycled and MC reused them.
3. Fixed: Changes to make the running of the Chromium browser more stable.
4. Fixed: The wavepack plugin was missing from some builds which resulted in unexplained crashes.
5. Changed: Added the libnss3 dependency and removed the webkit dependency for the Chromium builds.

24.0.45 (7/27/2018)

1. NEW: The web browser uses chromium now (except for ARM). A chromium plugin is downloaded and installed on first run (MC will take a while to come up depending on your connection speed, it's 45 megs to DL).

24.0.42 (7/10/2018)

1. Changed: Improved internal web browser operation.

24.0.39 (6/29/2018)

1. Changes from the main branch mainly dealing with JRiver Radio.

24.0.37 (6/26/2018)

1. NEW: Linux implement key release handling. Detect whether a key is being held down (key repeat).
2. Fixed: Crash on right-click release in some context menus.
3. Fixed: A key sending function in MC was sending 2 keypresses instead of a press/release.

24.0.36 (6/22/2018)

1. Fixed: In some cases, converting an audio file would leave the file type set to the old file's type.
2. Fixed: OpenGL Theater View could use more CPU then expected since 24.0.34.
3. Fixed: SRT subtitles with non-breaking spaces did not render properly.
4. Changed: DLNA, change SetNext controller option disabling so that device errors don't disable SetNext only disable it if the renderer reports that it's not implemented.
5. Changed: DLNA. Want to make sure that if a resubscribe fails we clear and do a subscribe. Have seen http error codes of 412 on resubscribe.
6. Changed: DLNA, Add a code that will do a manual transport state update if we look frozen at the end of a track (missed an event..)
7. Changed: Radio JRiver playlists will end after playing for two hours without any Media Center user interaction.

24.0.35 (6/15/2018)

1. Fixed: Licensing on i386/amd64 builds. Hopefully for the last time, will require re-entering your registration code.
2. Changed: Implemented some missing low level windowing functions.

24.0.34 (6/12/2018)

1. Fixed: A couple of memory leaks in ALSA and in the Windowing code.
2. Changed: Removed the Register function from the desktop entry because it was preventing mime type associations from working.
3. Changed: The internal web browser is more resiliant and should work better with some desktops.

24.0.32-4 (6/5/2018)

1. Fixed: On some systems we couldn't open the ALSA hardware devices.

24.0.32-2 (6/3/2018)

1. Fixed: Covert art thumbnails were not working on some platforms.

24.0.32 (6/1/2018)

1. Changed: Licensing on Intel platforms. Will require re-entering license key again.
2. Fixed: ALSA, the audio device descriptions would not line up with the device name when there was a default device in the list (no description).
3. Changed: ALSA change the order of hardware parameter settings when opening the device.

24.0.31 (5/29/2018)

1. NEW: Implemented the startup options for linux. Works with any desktop manager.
2. Fixed: A memory leak in the ALSA driver.
3. NEW: Implemented the internal browser. Needs testing.

24.0.28 ( 5/14/2018)

1. NEW: Added info to the Reporter Advanced Information showing the system memory and free memory.
2. Changed: For Linux ARM, disable multithreaded drawfast code (used in resizing) until neon is fully implemented.
3. Changed: For Linux ARM, cap maximum threads and weight for thumbnailing until neon is fully implemented.
4. Fixed: Linux ALSA output device, wasn't configuring local zones other than the default zone properly.
5. Changed: Updated the gtk dependencies from libgtk2.0 to libgtk-3-0

24.0.26-2 (5/10/2018)

1. Changed: Switched the default skin to Modern Cards: Grey Edition.
2. NEW: Implemented support for direct DSD for devices that support DSD_U32_BE (i.e. iFi iDSD and other xmos based devices). See the device options under the Audio device config.

24.0.26 (5/10/2018)

1. Fixed: The file browser wasn't working in a few places (i.e. Languages->Browse Translations Folder)
2. Changed: Another tweak to registration. Will require re-entering the license key on intel based linux platforms.
3. NEW: Work on the integrated browser (not implemented yet) requires the addition of webkit2 library dependencies to the .deb
4. Fixed: Added the libgomp dependency to the .deb

24.0.19 (4/29/2018)

1. Fixed: Tooltip box shadows were offsetting the text below the shadow.
2. NEW: Text edit boxes now have a more convenient way to add Latin characters with diacritics.  Press and hold a letter key and a list of choices with diacritical versions for that letter is shown to choose from.
3. Fixed: On ARM the non-sse bilinear rendering wasn't properly handling the alpha channel resulting in some see through icons.

24.0.18 (4/24/2018)

1. Changed: Updated FFmpeg to version 4.0, used for file analysis, transcoding and video playback.
2. Changed: Optimized Video rendering image uploading for better performance and reliability.

24.0.16 (4/17/2018)

1. FIXED: A significant memory leak.

24.0.15 (4/13/2018)

1. NEW: Added support for bilinear image resizing (on ARM which didn't have it before) so that images in the program will look much better.
2. Fixed: A segfault upon startup with systems that have non-standard /dev tree.

24.0.12 (4/10/2018)

1. Fixed: Non-Root users on linux couldn't send WOL packets.
2. Fixed: Removed unsupported print commands from menus.
3. NEW: Much faster FFT code for places where spectrum analysis is used.
4. Changed: Some licensing code. Registration code will need to be re-entered.

24.0.2 (02/03/2018)

1. NEW: First MC24 build for linux

[Awesome Donkey]

The links are wrong (they point to 24.0.46).

The links are wrong (they point to 24.0.46).

Thanks, too much copy and paste!

[Awesome Donkey]

Now all the links have access denied errors.

[bob]

Ok, got it this time.

[Awesome Donkey]

Just updated to MediaCenter-24.0.52-armhf on my Raspberry Pi... and it installs 24.0.46 instead. Might need to double check that one.

Using the repo?

[Awesome Donkey]

Yep, both the stable and beta repos added (not sure which one would server the update if both repos have the same build) but Synaptic says 24.0.52 is installed, but once started it's 24.0.46. I'll do some experimenting later.

[bob]

I messed up the packaging.
It's updated now to 24.0.52-2

Thanks.

[Awesome Donkey]

All good now!

[laerm]

Hmm, I keep on getting

Code: [Select]

Gtk-Message: 12:29:21.011: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This is discouraged.
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

with this and the previous version (which was the first MC Linux I ever used, so...). Linux Mint 19 Tara.

Thanks!

Any reproducible steps you're using to get it to crash? I'm also assuming you're using the Cinnamon desktop environment? There was some crash issues with Linux Mint's default Cinnamon desktop environment a few builds ago, but it was fixed in 24.0.46 beta. Maybe it's a new crash issue...

P.S. You can ignore the Gtk-Message warning part.

[laerm]

It seems to crash entirely randomly with no input from the user needed. Yep, I'm on Cinnamon.

In previous stable versions of MC I was no longer experiencing any micro dropouts with my rpi after upgrading to Stretch.  However with version 52 the random micro audio drop outs are back.  Is this version more intensive on memory?
Yes, because of the browsing capabilities.

Did you try setting thread priorities?
