I've created a couple of repositories you can try out. You'll first need to get the key. As root do this:
wget -O - http://dist.jriver.com/mediacenter@jriver.com.gpg.key | apt-key add -

Then add the repository of your choice to /etc/apt/sources.list.d.
Create a file in that directory called mediacenter20.list
In that file, for the stable distribution put:
deb [arch=i386] http://dist.jriver.com/stable/mediacenter/ wheezy main
or for the latest:
deb [arch=i386] http://dist.jriver.com/latest/mediacenter/ wheezy main

update your apt and you should be ready to go.

I actually got this working in Ubuntu with some modifications and manual import of the key. Later when I get a little more time I'll post a tutorial on how to do this in the Ubuntu topic.

Worked for me too (Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit). Thanks Bob!

Awesome! Thanks bob!

Update: the repository is working well on Linux Mint 17.1!

mcollier · « **Reply #4 on:** February 27, 2015, 08:43:22 pm »

Brilliant!

I believe the instructions for importing the key should read:

wget -O - http://dist.jriver.com/mediacenter@jriver.com.gpg.key | apt-key add -

Ubuntu users would likely need to do:

wget -O - http://dist.jriver.com/mediacenter@jriver.com.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -

Thanks! Great improvement.

Correct. For some reason my command got truncated...

aoqw76 · « **Reply #6 on:** February 28, 2015, 12:26:16 pm »

Does this mean you can then do "sudo apt-get install mediacenter20"?

imugli · « **Reply #7 on:** February 28, 2015, 04:49:16 pm »

Yes.

Awesome Donkey · « **Reply #8 on:** February 28, 2015, 04:51:19 pm »

And you can update MC via your package manager of choice.

Also you should use this for Ubuntu and Linux Mint to add the key via Terminal;

Code: [Select]

wget -q "http://dist.jriver.com/mediacenter@jriver.com.gpg.key" -O- | sudo apt-key add -

aoqw76 · « **Reply #9 on:** March 01, 2015, 02:24:20 pm »

Thanks; guess that makes my auto-update CRON script slightly redundant, but I'll leave it running as it will still work as long as updates continue to be made available like this:

Code: [Select]

http://files.jriver.com/mediacenter/channels/v20/latest/MediaCenter-20.0.nn.deb

Awesome Donkey · « **Reply #10 on:** March 05, 2015, 06:48:10 pm »

One suggestion, perhaps you guys should host both mediacenter20.list files on the server. Why? It'd only require 4 Terminal commands to add and install Media Center 20. Something like the following for the latest channel;

Code: [Select]

sudo wget http://dist.jriver.com/latest/mediacenter/mediacenter20.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mediacenter20.list
If this was added, for example in Ubuntu this would add the key, list and install MC20;

Code: [Select]

wget -q "http://dist.jriver.com/mediacenter@jriver.com.gpg.key" -O- | sudo apt-key add -
sudo wget http://dist.jriver.com/latest/mediacenter/mediacenter20.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mediacenter20.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mediacenter20

This should work fine for Debian too.

Ok, that's done.
I did list both architectures in the mediacenter20.list. I'm not sure that's the best idea since the amd64 is beta. We'll see...

audiolover · « **Reply #13 on:** March 11, 2015, 09:40:27 am »

I am a little bit lost as there have been changes in which code to use in this topic on how to add key and repositories.
Is it an idea to list the definite changes in code for Debian and Ubuntu in 1 "reply"?

Awesome Donkey · « **Reply #14 on:** March 11, 2015, 11:17:18 am »

If you want to add the repository and install Media Center 20 (in both Debian and Ubuntu), use the following Terminal commands;

Code: [Select]

wget -q "http://dist.jriver.com/mediacenter@jriver.com.gpg.key" -O- | sudo apt-key add -
sudo wget http://dist.jriver.com/latest/mediacenter/mediacenter20.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mediacenter20.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mediacenter20

If you already have Media Center 20 manually installed, use the first three commands.

Question for those of us (well at least me) who are slow on the uptake. What do I have to do to ensure that I direct apt-get to pull down the 32 bit version?

I had a go at this the other week and had a melt down. Sorry, I had too much going on to post but I think the 64 bit repository was grabbed by mistake. I'll make sure I clonezilla the unit before trying again. Fortunately, I was able to do a rebuild but it was an old image and it took a bit of time to get back on the straight and narrow with other priorities that I had to deal with.

To specify the 32 bit version, try

sudo apt-get install mediacenter20:i386

You can also specify the architecture in the place where you put the repository path.

i.e.

Thanks all.

Success on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

Followed Bob's advice at the top and navigated to the directory:
/etc/apt/sources.list.d.

Did a gksu gedit and edited in the dependency as noted with the qualifier ... [arch=i386]

Worked a treat.

All set now. Nice one.

I think I must be in need of a little more linux education.

I used the repository to install media centre (debian v88) in the first place. Now I come to try and get the latest update using sudo apt-get update and I get the following message:

"W: GPG error: http://dist.jriver.com wheezy Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY C30B25C6077765D5"

I thought I had to get a key right at the outset when I followed the instructions above. If I didn't get a key how did it install? Or is this a different key being referred to?

many thanks

Paul

Awesome Donkey · « **Reply #20 on:** April 12, 2015, 11:46:55 am »

Try using these commands;

Code: [Select]

wget -q "http://dist.jriver.com/mediacenter@jriver.com.gpg.key" -O- | sudo apt-key add -
sudo wget http://dist.jriver.com/latest/mediacenter/mediacenter20.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mediacenter20.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mediacenter20

Weedos123 · « **Reply #21 on:** April 12, 2015, 03:00:57 pm »

Awesome

OK I confused now on several counts.

I ran those 4 commands, when I first installed media centre and was under the impression that all of them only needed to be run at the outset as mediacenter 20 would have been added to the "sources list" and I'd have the necessary key to be able to retrieve and install the package. Therefore I'd only need to "apt-get update" to download and install any updates. Do I need to run all of them each time to update?

As you suggested I ran them and the update packages downloaded as before when I ran "apt-get update" which returned done this time, rather than the error, but when running the last command to install, it didn't do it as it says I am already on the latest version. Checking in MC shows I' m on v88, but I thought I'd downloaded v93.

Thanks

Paul

Awesome Donkey · « **Reply #22 on:** April 12, 2015, 05:11:59 pm »

Looks like 20.0.93 hasn't been added to the latest apt repository yet, that's why you're seeing that issue. Manually download the 20.0.93 AMD64 .deb file and install it via dpkg -i in the Terminal.

bob · « **Reply #23 on:** May 05, 2015, 12:30:40 pm »

I added a Jessie apt repository.
It will be amd64 only for now.

It includes gnutls28-deb0. I need feedback on this for the unsupported distros. On Ubuntu 14.10 it just works since gnutls28-deb0 is already in the OS.

You can get the list file following the previous instructions replacing mediacenter20.list with mediacenter20jessie.list

Awesome Donkey · « **Reply #24 on:** May 06, 2015, 07:36:38 am »

FYI guys, it's not recommended to use this new mediacenter20jessie.list on Ubuntu 15.04 as it'll try to update the existing gnutls28-deb0 and it WILL break the system.

That's unfortunate. I wonder if renaming it (and perhaps repackaging it) to a slightly lower version would do the trick.

If so, would it conflict with any existing version, or would it just be used by MC?

Your last post said you were using arch.

If you are using debian wheezy on your bbb make sure dependencies are satisfied (including installing xfonts-75dpi).
You must also be running in 24 bit video mode, not 16.
MC REQUIRES an XServer.

jstruebel · « **Reply #49 on:** July 20, 2015, 08:49:15 pm »

Ok. So I tried just switching to the Jessie repository, but that broke with the dependencies as I suspected it might. I switched back to the Wheezy repository and ran the command:

Code: [Select]

dpkg --add-architecture i386
as recommended in http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=85957.msg604793#msg604793. That did the trick and it updated dependencies and installed mediacenter. Now to see if it works.
