JRiver Media Center 27 for Linux

[musicnut23]

Hi,

27 is new, so it's not fully supported yet. Also you'll need to manually upgrade Snakeoil PC to Ubuntu 18.04LTS before this will work. I will probably create a wiki to walk you guys through this (as various attempts at automating this failed).

Will create a ticket to monitor this: Link.

Hello Agent Kith - Appreciate your assistance, and please read through carefully as I added a few things as I did further research.


I installed JRiver27 after upgrading SnakeOil to the latest Firmware and ran into problems.  Wasn't sure where to post, so I'm just tagging onto this thread.

Edit:  Tried using the VNCViewer after installing JRiver27, and the player didn't auto launch.  I went to the command line and tried to manually launch Jriver27 and was given a message about glibc6 not being up-to-date (see below).

Seems there are dependency issues that I do not know how to work with.  Ubuntu 18.04 says that the latest version of libc6 is installed, but JRiver is asking for a newer version.  I've tried a system update/upgrade.  That didn't help.  





After further research - It seems I must do a distro-upgrade to 19x for glibc2.28 or higher.  Will I break SnakeOil if I do this?




Anyway - I'm going back to JRiver26 for now until I know whether or not you feel I can do a distro upgrade without breaking things.

Thanks!
