This tutorial aims to aid users into setting up JRiver Media Center 21 onto computers running the following Linux operating systems;

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Xenial Xerus
Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS Trusty Tahr
Linux Mint 18 Sarah
Linux Mint 17.3 Rosa

Ubuntu Studio and Linux Mint Debian Edition has not and likely won't be tested! Your mileage may vary.

NOTE: This tutorial does borrow ideas and parts done by InflatableMouse and his excellent Debian Wheezy tutorial found here, so please thank him.

Before we continue, please note the following;

- Media Center 21 for Linux is developed on Debian Wheezy 32-bit and Debian Jessie 64-bit - support for distros other than Wheezy 32-bit and Jessie 64-bit, like Ubuntu and Mint is not officially supported!
- This tutorial will focus on the operating systems above, any others you're on your own with.
- This *should* also apply to Ubuntu/Mint derivatives like Xubuntu, Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Ubuntu GNOME, Linux Mint (MATE), Linux Mint (Xfce), etc. However, extra steps may be required!
- Before installing, please read the outstanding issues topic! Many of the issues noted for Debian also apply to Ubuntu/Mint!


Step 1 - Add the JRiver APT Repository:

The APT repository is required to install Media Center 21 and keep Media Center 21 updated with every new release.

First, open a Terminal (by either pressing CTRL+ALT+T or by searching for the terminal in your desktop environment) and either type the following command or copy and paste the command in and press Enter (you *may* be prompted for your password);

Code: [Select]

wget -q "http://dist.jriver.com/mediacenter@jriver.com.gpg.key" -O- | sudo apt-key add -
Next, with the Terminal still open, we need to download and add the correct mediacenter.list file to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ depending if you're using 32-bit or 64-bit so either type one the following commands or copy and paste the command in and press Enter;

If you're using 64-bit Ubuntu/Linux Mint:

Code: [Select]

sudo wget http://dist.jriver.com/latest/mediacenter/mediacenter21jessie.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mediacenter21.list
Or...

If you're using 32-bit Ubuntu/Linux Mint:

Code: [Select]

sudo wget http://dist.jriver.com/latest/mediacenter/mediacenter21.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mediacenter21.list
Finally, we need to reload the packages list, so with the Terminal still open either type the following command or copy and paste the command in and press Enter;

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get update
NOTE: If you're using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Xenial Xerus you may encounter an error about the repository is insufficiently signed, this is currently just a warning that can be ignored.

That's it! Proceed to step 2!


Step 2 - Installing Media Center 21:

It's finally time to install Media Center 21! First, open a Terminal (by either pressing CTRL+ALT+T or by searching for the Terminal in your desktop environment) or re-use the Terminal from the previous step. Next either type the following command or copy and paste the command in and press Enter (you *may* be prompted for your password);

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get install mediacenter21
During this process it should say something along the following;

Code: [Select]

The following extra packages will be installed:
  lame libcue1 libreplaygain1 musepack-tools vorbis-tools
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  lame libcue1 libreplaygain1 mediacenter21 musepack-tools vorbis-tools
0 upgraded, 6 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
However, if you receive an error like;

Code: [Select]

dependency problems prevent configuration of mediacenter21:
 mediacenter21 depends on ....
This means all dependencies have not been met. Don't fret, this can usually be taken care of by using the following command in the Terminal by either typing the following command or copying and pasting the command in and press Enter;

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get install -f
It'll show you the missing dependencies, after looking them over just press enter to install them. Now assuming all dependencies are met, you've been successful at installing Media Center 21 in Ubuntu/Mint! However, I recommend rebooting since this will allow MC to load up fonts correctly - otherwise if you run MC without rebooting first, fonts may look pretty horrendous!

Now, after rebooting you can start Media Center either go into the Unity dash, Mint menu, etc. and search for Media Center 21 or you can run it from the Terminal by either typing the following command or copying and pasting the command in and press Enter;

Code: [Select]

mediacenter21
Now, we're going to cover installing the license for those who have purchased in step 3!

[Awesome Donkey]

Step 3 - Installing A Media Center 21 Linux License Or Master License:

This portion of the tutorial will explain how to manually install your purchased license (either Linux licence or Master licence) in Media Center 21. Thanks for purchasing a license and supporting the development!

First, make sure MC21 is closed and either download the .mjr by either restoring the license here or if you just purchased a Media Center 21 Linux or Master license, then use the .mjr file downloaded with your purchase. After downloading your license file, open a Terminal and either type the following command or copy and paste the command in and press Enter (you *may* be prompted for your password);

If you're using a Linux license:

Code: [Select]

mediacenter21 /RestoreFromFile "Media Center21 Linux-YYYYYY.mjr"
NOTE: Replace the X's and Y's with the correct numbers from your specific .mjr file AND adjust the path to your file.

If you're using a Master license:

Code: [Select]

mediacenter21 /RestoreFromFile "Media Center21 Master-YYYYYY.mjr"
NOTE: Replace the X's and Y's with the correct numbers from your specific .mjr file AND adjust the path to your file.

If your code is located in the default downloads directory, the following command should work (remember to replace the X's and Y's with the correct numbers and change Linux to Master if you're using a Master license!);

Code: [Select]

mediacenter21 /RestoreFromFile ~/Downloads/"Media Center21 Linux-YYYYYY.mjr"
If you do not encounter an error while restoring your license from the file, open Media Center 21 up then go to the Help menu > Registration Info... - if it's registered, congratulations, your MC21 for Linux is now registered!

Additional information and discussion regarding licenses can be found in this topic.

Once you're done, you should be ready to go! Congratulations, you've successfully installed Media Center 21 on your Ubuntu/Linux Mint machine! The next step will aid you in keeping Media Center 21 up-to-date.


Step 4 - Updating Media Center 21:

Okay, so you've got Media Center 21 installed and you might be wondering "how do I keep MC 21 up-to-date?". Well, there's several different ways available to accomplish this.

The easiest method to check for updates and update Media Center 21 if an update is available? Simple! Just open a Terminal and either type the following command or copy and paste the command in and press Enter (you *may* be prompted for your password);

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Let the command run and it should prompt you with a list of updates for your Linux distribution of choice. Just type Y (or yes) and the system should be updated. It's HIGHLY recommended to run this command once a week - not just for MC 21 updates but for keeping up with the latest patches for vulnerabilities and various other potential security concerns.

The other ways to update Media Center 21? Well, if you Have Synaptic Package Manager installed you can update your system from there as well. Or you can just use the built-in update manager, if one is available for your Linux distro of choice!

Okay, what's next? The next post contains various information and tips you may find handy. Enjoy!

Get Pulseaudio Output Working:

If desired, you can also output using Pulseaudio - keep in mind though that ALSA is bit-perfect. I'd highly recommend sticking with ALSA instead of Pulseaudio since Pulseaudio requires resampling to one sample rate, but if you wish to use Pulseaudio for whatever reason you'll need to set it up...

Pulseaudio *should* work out-of-the-box on Ubuntu 14.04+/Linux Mint 17+ 64-bit however if you want to cover all your bases on getting Pulseaudio working try the following commands in a Terminal by either typing the following command or copying and pasting the command in and press Enter (you *may* be prompted for your password);

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get install libasound2-plugins
NOTE: You don't need to use this command in Ubuntu 15.04 Vivid Vervet 64-bit.

Just open Media Center up, go to Tools > Options > Audio > click the Device settings... button and select pulse as the output device but keep in mind you may need to specify the default output device Pulseaudio uses via the pavucontrol utility.


Setting Default Pulseaudio Device Via PulseAudio Volume Control (pavucontrol):

When trying to use the Pulseaudio output in Media Center, you might find yourself with this type of error when trying to play music...



This means the correct output device for Pulseaudio isn't being used, thus why this error is encountered. Fortunately, there's a way to fix this. Open up a Terminal window and either type the following command or copy and paste the command in and press Enter (you *may* be prompted for your password);

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get install pavucontrol
After installing, either start PulseAudio Volume Control by typing pavucontrol into the Terminal or by typing in Pulseaudio into the Unity dash until you see PulseAudio Volume Control. Once open, you'll want to go to the Configuration tab like seen here;



Notice how there's multiple output devices listed here? As seen above, what I want to use as the default is my Schiit Modi 2 Uber aka USB Modi Device. In this example, to set this card up I setup the Configuration tab to the following...



And take a look at the Output Devices tab now. See how it's using the USB Modi Device as the default device?



Please setup your device(s) accordingly for your own needs! And if desired setup your input devices via the Input Devices tab! If everything looks good, try playing music through Pulse again in Media Center. If sound works, congrats, you have working sound via Pulse!


How To Remove Media Center 20 and Media Center 21:

If you've updated from Media Center 20 to Media Center 21, you might find yourself with two versions of Media Center installed. If you don't want multiple versions of Media Center installed, you can remove the old Media Center

Step 1: Backup your library and settings. Read the wiki article on how to backup your library and settings.

Step 2: Open a Terminal and input the following (you *may* be prompted for your password - answer yes when it prompts!);

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get remove mediacenter20
Step 3 (Optional): If you want to completely remove Media Center 20's files, with the Terminal open and input the following (you *may* be prompted for your password - answer yes when it prompts!);

Code: [Select]

sudo rm -rf '/usr/lib/jriver/Media Center 20'
And...

Code: [Select]

sudo rm -rf '~/.jriver/Media Center 20'
Now, if you want to remove Media Center 21 (for whatever reason, like a clean install), just repeat step 2 and use this command instead;

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get remove mediacenter21
If all goes well, your Media Center 20/21 installation(s) should be removed.


Enabling Copy And Paste Buffers:

Currently Media Center 21 for Linux supports one copy and paste buffer system (cut buffers) and it can be challenging to use. For further information please read Bob's topic about this here (I HIGHLY suggest you do!). The current downside is I've not found a working way to add these copy and paste commands to the X startup scripts for Ubuntu/Mint. I'll continue looking into this but for those who want copy and paste working only while Media Center 21 is open, this is the best way to do it.

Step 1: Close MC21 if its open and open a Terminal window and input the following (you *may* be prompted for your password);

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get install autocutsel
Step 2: Once this is installed, leave the Terminal open and input the following;

Code: [Select]

autocutsel -fork &
Again, make sure to leave the Terminal open and input the following;

Code: [Select]

autocutsel -selection PRIMARY -fork &
Remember to leave the Terminal with the commands running open for as long as you need copy and paste functionality. If you close the Terminal you'll lose the ability to copy and paste!

Step 3: Open MC21 and you should be able to successfully copy and paste.

Once you're done with copy and paste, close the Terminal window. To re-enable copy and paste, just follow step 2 again.


Adding Additional Skins In Media Center 21:

Media Center 21 for Linux supports additional skins, like the Windows and Mac builds. For Linux, I highly recommend the ModernCards skin!

Now the easiest way to add skins is by doing the following; open the Home folder (using the native file manager on your distro), pressing CTRL+H to show the hidden files then going to the .jriver folder. From there open the Media Center 21 folder and you're met with multiple folders, including a Skins folder. Open Skins then Standard View and the folders inside contain the additional skins. Just drag and drop the skin you want to add (make sure you drag and drop the extracted skin folder from the Skins/Standard View directory inside the downloaded skin's archive) and change the skin within Media Center 21. If you don't see your skin listed, then the skin probably wasn't installed correctly.

I want to know how to retrieve all settings, preferences and libraries from mediacenter20 to mediacenter21: avoid all the settings again would be great! 

I confirm that mediacenter20 as well as mediacenter21 are included in the list of packages referenced in Synaptics; once you add JRiver deposits in your authorized deposit list, you no longer need to go through the Terminal. 

[Awesome Donkey]

I want to know how to retrieve all settings, preferences and libraries from mediacenter20 to mediacenter21: avoid all the settings again would be great! 

It's already part of step 1 of that section of the tutorial - the backup of your library and settings.

The easy way: Open Media Center 20 and go to File > Library > Back Up Library... and save the backup somewhere (e.g. Desktop). Then open Media Center 21 and go to File > Library > Restore Library and restore from the library backup you did in Media Center 20. That's it.

[El Sliva]

It's already part of step 1 of that section of the tutorial - the backup of your library and settings.

Thank you! The problem is solved on libraries; but recovery of personal settings and preferences is not.
Would it not be possible to make the transition from one version to another is done completely automatically?
Retrieving libraries, and also network preferences, type of reading, etc.

Does the method of copying the contents of the hidden folder home / <user> /. jriver / Media Center 20 in the neighboring Media Center 21 would be effective? 

[mwillems]

Thank you! The problem is solved on libraries; but recovery of personal settings and preferences is not.
Would it not be possible to make the transition from one version to another is done completely automatically?
Retrieving libraries, and also network preferences, type of reading, etc.

The library backup contains all the settings as well (except for skins and a few other odds and ends).

[Belarathon]

I see you have a Xonar Essence there.  Have you been able to set it up for bit perfect playback? I have program material sampled at rates anywhere from 44.1-192Khz and do not wish to resanple.

[Awesome Donkey]

Well, I do but I don't use it anymore. I really need to update those screenshots.

Bit-perfect playback should be pretty straightforward regardless of DAC or sound card when using ALSA - assuming the sample rate(s) and bit-depth(s) are supported by the sound card/DAC. I use DSP Studio's Output Format to setup the sample rates to No change so they're not being resampled.

Keep in mind I really don't recommend Pulse over ALSA... I've read output is locked to 48kHz but I've never tested this.

EDIT: Updated Screenshots.

[Awesome Donkey]

Just tested MC21 in the final beta of Ubuntu 15.10 Wily Werewolf and it functions fine as expected.

That said there's one bit of news to pass along, I've decided to stop using Ubuntu and Linux in general outside of a virtual machine due to a nasty bug in the Linux kernel's USB driver since 3.18.0 where when XHCI will give off device descriptor errors and cause USB devices to malfunction during the boot and after rebooting back into Windows and Mac - even after disabling XHCI and XHCI hand-off! The issue was supposed to be fixed in 4.0 kernel but it still persists in 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 (it got really bad in 4.3-rc3 for some reason). So yeah, I'll be retiring Ubuntu off the main machine for now and just use Ubuntu virtual machines to test. I've been reporting this issue for nearly 8 months now, but not much has been done about it. I've tried different hardware (keyboard, mouse, USB DAC, motherboard, GPU, RAM, etc.) and it doesn't make a difference. It also happens in a VM too, but it doesn't mess with other OSes so it's pretty straightforward to correct.

Also going to retire the Mac portion off the main machine too and just use Windows for the foreseeable future due to multiple annoying issues trying to get the AMD graphics card to function correctly. I'll probably reinstate the Mac once I can save up and get a Nvidia card. I'll likely reinstate Ubuntu if/when they manage to fix that annoying USB issue.

EDIT: Decided to redo the Mac and Ubuntu installs and keep reporting the Linux XHCI issue.

[frederic20100]

Hello, I try to install jriver21 on my 2 PCs/linuxmint, one is 32bits and I made it. it works well both audio and video (yet it says that no internet available on my plateform, is that normal?).
The other Pc is 64bits and I cannot install it properly. At the end of the message, I join a copy of the terminal dialog if it can help diagnosis what is wrong.
When I open JRiver and import a library from my harddisk, it imports well the video files but not all the audio files. Or rather it seems to import all of them, shows a few covers for a short time and then changes to show other covers and when importation is ended it indicates that 4000 files have been imported but only display a dozen of covers when the directory contains much more. after a short while MC eventually says that the library contains no files at all but still displays all the video files and a dozen of audio LPs...


I have tried to uninstall, reinstall JR21, uninstall linuxmint, reinstall it an reinstall JR21 but it brought nothing better !!! can you help me ? I dont know what to do next... I am very new on linux and do not handle it very well. here is the historic of my terminal dialog (with some french words to make it easy for you!!! translation between brackets) :

On the 64-bit PC, does Media Center run or not?

[frederic20100]

MC runs audio files but does not run video files. When I start a video, it runs for about 1seconds and then MC closes.

[Awesome Donkey]

What kind of video files?

The easiest method to check for updates and update Media Center 21 if an update is available? Simple! Just open a Terminal and either type the following command or copy and paste the command in and press Enter (you *may* be prompted for your password);

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Let the command run and it should prompt you with a list of updates for your Linux distribution of choice. Just type Y (or yes) and the system should be updated. It's HIGHLY recommended to run this command once a week - not just for MC 21 updates but for keeping up with the latest patches for vulnerabilities and various other potential security concerns.

I think that should be changed to

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
dist-upgrade upgrades the Ubuntu version, a bit of a bigger upgrade than I expect you meant

I don't run Ubuntu, but I do run Debian, and I'm pretty sure that's false.  It's certainly false on Debian (which is where apt comes from).  dist-upgrade just handles package upgrades more intelligently than using plain old upgrade.

The ubuntu documentation seems to suggest that the command string to update versions is

Code: [Select]

sudo do-release-upgrade
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Upgrades

It doesn't mention dist-upgrade.  

Some links reinforcing the point that dist-upgrade won't move you to the next version (unless you manually change your sources.list first):

 I try to run mkv files (video h264,audio ac3)or avi files (mpeg4, mp3). In both case it shuts down JRiver.

I try to run mkv files (video h264,audio ac3)or avi files (mpeg4, mp3). In both case it shuts down JRiver.

I don't use MC for video unfortunately, however I can suggest you start MC from the Terminal by typing mediacenter21 into it and see what the Terminal says after it crashes (e.g a segfault) and post what it says here.

[frederic20100]

hereunder is what the terminal says. the video issue is one thing but there is also a problem with the audio library which does not display all the LP covers of the albums that are in the music directory of my pc and that I have configured to be  auto-imported (sometime JR display 3 covers, sometime 8 covers...I think that all the files have been imported but as long as JR doesnt display their covers I cant play most of my music. On the other hand, when I select and run an audio file by clicking on one cover that is displayed , it works well and does not shut down JR as the video files do.

Thanks a lot for your help.

[Awesome Donkey]

Looks to me like the open-source Nvidia driver (Nouveau) is somehow causing the crashes here. You could try installing and using the proprietary Nvidia driver. You're using Linux Mint, right?

[frederic20100]

gday! yes I am using linuxmint. I did not even notice that nouveau was a driver. I have now changed to the recommended nvidia driver and JR does not crash anymore. Yet when I try to start a video it says "something went wrong with playback" then I have to click "ok" and no crash but no video running .I hope that you will guess what it is and what I shall do...
thanks again...

[frederic20100]

also what about my audio library which doesn't show all the files I have imported ? how can I make sure that all the files have been properly imported ? how can I check if it is a display problem or an importation problem ?

[El Sliva]

If using a soundcard RME 9632: it is not automatically supported by pulseaudio. Do this:
Install ALSA modules

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get install alsa-tools alsa-firmware-loadersThen, open file : /etc/pulse/default.pa

Code: [Select]

sudo gedit /etc/pulse/default.paThen uncomment (remove the #) the line:

Code: [Select]

#load-module module-alsa-sink
Save changes, and close your session.

Before you can run, the card requires hdspmixer be launched at the opening session:

Code: [Select]

/usr/bin/hdspmixer
If clicks and crackles when listening, see here.

[frederic20100]

Magical ! it works... I don't know what type of soundcard I have got but I tried to install Alsa modules as you suggest and the sound is good, no crackles, no noise, just fine. now JR runs audio files and video files well. Thank you very much.
It still remains that only a few of my audio files are shown by JR. I think that they have been imported in the library yet since sometime it shows a dozen of covers, and after a while it shows only 3 and then changes again at random... Any one has a hint of what causes this weird behaviour of JR ?

Many thanks for your support
Frédéric

[Awesome Donkey]

What type(s) of audio files are missing? Do they have metadata? Have you setup auto-import to import those type(s) of music files?

[frederic20100]

Yes I have set up auto import to import my music mainly Flac files a few MP3. I run the autoimport and it says that about 17 000 files have been imported in the library. during the importation, JR shows covers of some albums (up to 20 covers) and then shows other covers. At the end of the importation, it displays  between 4 and 10 covers

Also when I open the library manager, it mentions a library called "main library" and indicates its size :  it also varies from 1800 to 5000 files !
The library manager indicates the location of the library: home/frederic/.jriver/...  so I tried to have a look at this directory but I cannot find it in home/frederic !!!

as you can see I am not very gifted with computers. By the way, what is metadata ?

[Awesome Donkey]

Hmm. Metadata is the ID3 tag data embedded within the files. Is there any present?

Also make sure you have LAME and FLAC installed.

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get install lame flac

[frederic20100]

I have installed lame and flac but unfortunately nothing has changed. I dont know how to check the metadata inside a flac file but when JR shows an album cover, it also indictates all its song titles, artist, duration, year...
After installing lame and flac, I opened JR and the number of album cover shown changed from 4 to 8 and then 12 and then 17... I thought it would finally display all my album but no ! it came back to only 7 covers and after changing several times it now stay still. At the bottom of the screen, it indicates 123 files (3.7GB - 14:26:30) but it used to indicate up to 1200 files and about 25GB -2 days).

There seems to be an issue in the current build involving the JRWorker that does this parsing.
When the next build comes out will you check to see if that fixes your issue?

[Jay Fora]

Hi, I have just tried to install MC 21 in linux mint cinnamon 17.2 64 bit. All seemed to go ok.No error messages. Restarted. JRiver repository has been added to software sources, but no sign of media center in menu. In terminal entered command    mediacenter21     as you suggested, but got error message 'no such command. What do I do now? Am new to Linux, and Mint, but have some experience of installing software successfully.

An entirely separate question, nothing related to the one above, and which I should have asked before I installed.... any advice on the version of Media center which has the least glitches when run in the version of mint I am using?
Thanks

[Awesome Donkey]

After adding the repository did you install Media Center? Try this in a Terminal;

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install mediacenter21

[Jay Fora]

Hi, yes, I did install Media Center, I saw the packages being downloaded, and installed. If I do it again, will I land up with duplicate packages, or will the system recognise ones that don't need to be added again?

[Awesome Donkey]

It'll recognise them being installed and won't re-install them unless you tell it to.

Also look for any errors during the process.

[Jay Fora]

Hi,  MC 21 is now installed. Am now having awful problems trying to get the auto import working. I manged to stop it from automatically going to the wrong place, and direct it to the folders to watch, but ino media shows up in that library. Library says it has a few KB of data. I have tried several times (because I always doubt myself first) to set up a new library following the guide on this site. It asks for an empty folder in which to save the library data, which I created, I set up the paths library should be sourced from, it scans, and seems to be adding files. Then it says 0 new files added. There is also nothing to play. What could be the cause of this? Files are on a drive external to the Mint OS. Drive is mounted, and I have no problem reading/writing to it or accessing it with other programs.
I am still wondering which version of MC is currently the least glitchy and the most functional for playback, tagging, copy paste etc.I only use wired connections and don't have a DAC, with Mint cinnamon 17.2.
 Thanks

Did you edit the auto import settings?  You may need to specify the file types you want imported.

[Jay Fora]

So are you saying that if I point auto import to import the contents of a folder containing only videos, it needs to be told the specific file types to import? Same with a folder containing only audio?

[JimH]

It needs to include the file types you want.

Hi,  MC 21 is now installed. Am now having awful problems trying to get the auto import working. I manged to stop it from automatically going to the wrong place, and direct it to the folders to watch, but ino media shows up in that library. Library says it has a few KB of data. I have tried several times (because I always doubt myself first) to set up a new library following the guide on this site.

Are you certain the drive is MOUNTED?
Go to a terminal window and do a df -k and see if the mount shows up.

There seems to be an issue in the current build involving the JRWorker that does this parsing.
When the next build comes out will you check to see if that fixes your issue?

how do I know when a new build comes out ? do I receive an Email ? If so my mailbox has been hacked and I cannot access it anymore!!! so I can not open all the emails received so far by JRiver like the one with the key to install JRiver...and I need it since I reinstalled JRiver and I have only a few days left to enter the key code.

gratefull if you can advise new build at this adress and send again key code to register.

Many thanks
Frédéric Vincent

I changed your e-mail address.  Please read about licensing and how you can retrieve your license.  See "Purchase" on jriver.com.

Regarding how to know when an update comes out... there's a pinned topic on this section of the forums describing the latest updates for Media Center 21. Also if you followed my tutorial above there's a section describing how to update Media Center once an update is out (there was one a few days ago so update!).

[Jay Fora]

Hi, I did a reality check by uninstalling 21 and installing 20 instead. Library import worked perfectly. I have a volume issue, so will check for solution on thread for 20. thanks.

Hi,  I have updated jriver once a week and my issue is still here... I will inform you as soon as a future upgrade fix it.
by the way, I would like to sort my movies by genre but I don't know how to do it. I think that it was done automatically on Jriver16/windows that I used so far.
also when I try to open a connected media it says that" webpage viewing is not supported by this platform". what does that means ?

A new build with the fixed JRWorker hasn't been done yet because of other issues.

The linux version of MC doesn't have an integrated webpage engine yet which is the message you are seeing.

Greetings:
Using Ubuntu 15.10 64 bit server or desktop?

Does this instruction refer to the server or desktop of Ubuntu?

The desktop 64 bit Ubuntu "live mode failed to load. I was able to install the server version.
 
A few days ago, I tried to play with installing Ubuntu. I tried the server mode, but could not get it to  update the Gnome per your instruction. I am just testing the waters by installing on a Windows 10 All in one Asus PC.
I used your sample code to try to get Gnome on the 64 bit server.
Can you help with the code for use on the server mode of Ubuntu?

My experience with this setup will carry me over to two fresh  home built PCs.

Unrelated or related to the Linux - Ubuntu, I played with Fedora 22 64 bit, both Live and  non live versions installed with ease.
I would prefer to use Ubuntu 64 bit server , if this is what your tutorial is about.

Thanks
George

The desktop version is what it's tested upon.

[Ekpen]

The desktop version is what it's tested upon.

Thanks , my friend.
I will stick with this version then.

Ubuntu 14.04.3 - 3.19.0-39-generic on x86_64

Was running MC21 just fine with the exception of an occasional crash and now it will not run at all.  Have clean installed the OS with the latest updates via apt-get update, upgrade, and dist-upgrade.  Any time i try to start MC now i get a "segmentation fault (core dumped)" message.  At first it started under a user account, so i move to running it under root which worked ok for a while; now both are showing the same "segmentation fault (core dumped)" message.  I have reviewed the syslog and grepped out the following:

Any ideas or suggestions?  TIA  

EDIT-- I think i found the problem. I was using the nouveau display driver. Once i changed it to a video card specific driver it seems to be working.  Will keep an eye on it see if it acts up again.  For now it is good.

[Awesome Donkey]

Yeah, it's the second time Nouveau has been the cause of segfaults. Personally I don't use it (I actually can't use it, no real support for my Maxwell-based 970) and just use the proprietary drivers off this ppa.
