How To Download and Install MC28
« on: June 21, 2021, 06:45:59 am »

We're happy to announce that JRiver Media Center is now available.  You'll find it on our Download Page

Download it, install it and if needed, restore your MC28 license.

On Windows, MC will find your library and settings from your previous version and use them.  Improvements to this process have been made, so thumbnails and custom skins, etc. are transferred.

On Mac and Linux, you can restore a backup from your previous version.  MC makes backups automatically.  Search for *.zip files.

You can leave your old version installed until you're satisfied the new version works well, then uninstall the old version.

Wrote in earlier about win 64 MC28 download not working as got corrupt file message on download when I tried to open it. Was advised by adim JimH to uninstall Norton so I did but, that didn't work either. So I have bypassed the windows block and the defenders block and it still gives "corrupt file message". I used winzip app and it did unzip the file but, when I tried to open it I got corrupt file message. Tried win zip several times and get the same message, but one time got message could not set up temp folder? Was also advised to try google search. On google there was a reference to an older  MC version with a similar problem where another download site was provided to get the download to work? At this point do not know why I would be the only person having this problem? I could use some help before I run out of license back ups. thks ?

Use a different browser to download from the link in the message above.
Install and license from the help menu->registration info to avoid burning codes on unsuccessful installs.

I purchased MC27 on 6/18, and received a license that is supposed to work with both MC27 and MC28.  I installed both, but cannot get the registration code to work with either one of them.  The error message is:  We could not find that license.

If one has installed MC 28.026 and wants to upgrade to 28.027 one has to do this manually - the check for updates function seems not to work ?

If you're typing out the registration code you might be making a typo. Try copying and pasting the registration code and make sure there's no empty spaces or anything when doing so.

Something is wrong on your end, no one else is having these issues.
If you are using a VPN, disable it.
Reboot your router.

Thanks, did that but, you got me on the right track. With everything disabled and JRiver allowed it still did not work so tried in safe mode and it worked!!!! Now have to find out why with everything that could block was disabled or uninstalled I still had the problem nobody else had???  Thanks again

I downloaded jriver and restored the licence. I got an Media Center27 Windows-501116.mjr which still refers to MC27. If I try to restore I am told 'your license file is not valid blah blah'
how can I fix this?

That's an MC27 Install Key.  It won't work with MC28.  Go to the Restore Page and email yourself your Registration Codes.

Re-read the first post if necessary.

Thanks it works now. FYI gmail removed 'unnecessary page break'(?) from the email so it hidden the key (this may be of some help gmail users)

Hi, I have a normal version installed.

- Can I install a Portable version on the same disk?
- Can I later remove the normal installation and keep only the Portable version?

Thanks

I am having the exact same problem.  One user said he was successful with 'safe  mode.' Anybody know how I do that?
