But they have made installing newer versions of JRiver MC a lot easier and I just did it, but it does mean you would need a new licence, which if you had a previous licence is currently $23.98 for a Linux upgrade - a master licence upgrade is $33.98 I'm guessing you might know this, but just in case you don't and I've just tried it myself, to make sure it's correct.

In fact I'm just about to bin Windows for Linux full time on my main PC, I much prefer it for many reasons.
#Jriver media center linux mint install
I just put the latest version of Mint 21.1 Xfce on the NUC and JRiver 27 would not install from the Terminal, whatever commands I tried - so I downloaded Mint 20.0 Xfce and it went on first time without a hitch. They are written for specific versions of Linux, so if the JRiver guide page for installing MC27 says 'Use the latest Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Debian 10 Buster, Linux Mint 20' you must use one of those versions or it is very likely the install will fail. After an initial failed install attempt I have learnt there is one very important factor - Media Center Linux installs are not as forgiving as Windows installs regarding the OS version. Just some further information for you Damien, as I have been messing around (again) with my JRiver Linux installations and moving the server from my Asus PN50 to the i5NUC as I discovered the NUC uses about 10W less power than the Asus, which as it runs 24/7 is a factor.Īnyhoots, I decided to go back to the Xfce Edition of Linux Mint. No money back guarantees though, but it's all working on my test laptop and the main server with Gnome as the DE is still purring along nicely - I doubt I'll need to touch that at all now, unless I choose too You can then copy and paste the command lines I've posted and as I've just tested it for MC27 on Debian11 Cinnamon, it should be trouble free. So here's a suggestion, assuming you still want to try a Linux JRiver install? Reinstall Debian11 but during the installation process change the default desktop environment from Gnome to Cinnamon, which is a lot more user friendly and Windows like. I've installed JRiver twice now on my laptop test machine using them, for both the Debian Xfce and Cinnamon desktop environments. So the above command lines I posted are correct. So if you copy and paste that line you get a Warning: apt-key is deprecated error message and you can't go any further. The add command shouldn't have a space, add- not add - as they have it. On the JRiver forum they have | sudo apt-key add - it should be | sudo apt-key add. just enjoy the musicĪs per the above edited post (with the command lines), we weren't doing anything wrong Damien, the install instructions have an error for adding the APT repository. I like a music server to act like a piece of music hardware, turn it on and don't mess with it. It's dependable and you're in control, not the other way around. I expect once I've got it running how I want it, it'll sit there sipping around 20W for months. Yes Volumio is based on Debian, a lot describe Debian as the granddaddy of Linux distros, as it's been around a long time. Typing accuracy in Terminal is non-negotiable. Command line instructions MUST be correct or nothing will happen and likely have most people pulling their hair out. One thing that's helpful for a Windows user is an understanding of how Linux maps drives and you really do need to be able to use a Terminal. Linux Mint is a lot easier as it's very Windows like, but it's not as light weight and gets developed more regularly than Debian, Mint is also based on Debian – well Ubuntu, which in turn is based on Debian would be more accurate. But I can find my way around and I quite enjoy the challenge. Debian is a rather dull O/S, there are no bells and whistles and you need a basic understanding of Linux to get the best out of it – and that's my level of knowledge, very basic. I just admin in every now and then to check for updates, but nothing else, it just works. My NAS is DIY and runs OpenMediaVault, also Debian based and that's not skipped a beat during the 3 odd years it's been running. I'd be surprised if there was, especially as it's serving as part of a network bridge, but I'm using it because of the very small footprint and dependability, as I know I can switch it on and leave it running until I decide to change something.
