+Services use a sane default [tt]--service-type[/tt] listed next to the service name in the Services description. 
+User services can be manipulated as an unprivileged user, for example: [tt]systemctl --user stop jriver-mediacenter[/tt] and begin at user login.
+System services are manipulable as root, for example: [tt]sudo systemctl stop jriver-servicename@username.service[/tt] and begin at system boot.

+
+Multiple services (but not [tt]--service-types[/tt]) can be installed at one time using multiple [tt]--service[/tt] blocks:

+
+[size=14pt][tt]jriver-x11vnc[/tt] versus [tt]jriver-xvnc[/tt][/size]
+
+[url=http://www.karlrunge.com/x11vnc/]jriver-x11vnc[/url] shares your existing X display via VNC and can be combined with additional services to start Media Center or Media Server. Conversely, [url=https://tigervnc.org/doc/Xvnc.html]jriver-xvnc[/url] creates a new Xvnc display and starts a JRiver Media Center service in the foreground of the new VNC display.

+[size=18pt]Containers[/size]
+
+[b]Coming soon![/b]
+
+[size=18pt]Firewall[/size]
+
+installJRMC automatically creates port forwarding firewall rules for remote access to Media Network (52100-52200/tcp, 1900/udp DLNA) and Xvnc/x11vnc (if selected), using firewall-cmd or ufw (if available).

 # installJRMC
 
-This script will help install [JRiver Media Center](https://www.jriver.com/) and associated services on Fedora (>=29), CentOS (>=8), Ubuntu (>=16.04), and Debian (>=9).
+Installs [JRiver Media Center](https://www.jriver.com/) and associated services on most Linux distributions.
 
-## Notes
+You can find the latest version of installJRMC, changelog, and documentation in [my repository](https://git.bryanroessler.com/bryan/installJRMC).
 
-1.  This script will not point major upgrades (i.e. from v25 to v26) to your old library. You should **first perform a library backup**, install the new major version, and then restore the library backup in the new version.
-2.  In **most** cases `installJRMC` should be **executed as your normal user** (i.e. don't run it with `sudo`). Services are installed for the user that executes the script so do not execute as root unless you want to install system-wide services like `createrepo` (see services section below for more information). Doing so may lead to permissions issues.
-3.  I do my best to test on Fedora/CentOS/Ubuntu/Debian but there are a lot of quirks to support
+## Usage
+
+`installJRMC [--option [ARGUMENT]]`
+
+`installJRMC` defaults to `--install=repo` on distros with Media Center repositories and `--install=local` on others.
+Specifying `--build`, `--createrepo`, `--service`, or `--uninstall` disables the default install method.
+
+### tl;dr
+
+`curl https://git.bryanroessler.com/bryan/installJRMC/raw/branch/master/installJRMC|bash`
 
 ## Options
 
-Running `installJRMC` without any options will install the latest version of JRiver Media Center from the official JRiver repository (Ubuntu/Debian) or my [unofficial repository](https://repos.bryanroessler.com/jriver/) (Fedora/CentOS) using the system package manager.

 ```
-**Some options are incompatible**, for example it is not possible to install the `mediaserver` service on Ubuntu/Debian when using `--rpmbuild` or `--createrepo` since those options do not actually install Media Center. `installJRMC` does perform sanity checks to automatically fix conflicting options, but it may not catch all edge cases.
 
+### `--service=`
 
-
-#### services
-When installing systemd services it is important to execute `installJRMC` as the user you wish to run the services. Typically this is your normal user account but for some server installations it may be necessary to execute the script as root.
-
-It is possible to specify multiple services: `installJRMC --service x11vnc --service mediacenter`
 ```text
-jriver-mediaserver
-    Enable and start a mediaserver systemd service (requires an existing X server)
-jriver-mediacenter
-    Enable and start a mediacenter systemd service (requires an existing X server)
-jriver-x11vnc
-    Enable and start x11vnc for the local desktop (requires an existing X server)
-    --vncpass and --display are also valid options (see below)
-jriver-vnc-mediacenter
-    Enable and start a vncserver running JRiver Media Center
+jriver-mediaserver [--service-type=user]
+    Enable and start a mediaserver systemd service (requires an existing X server).
+jriver-mediacenter [--service-type=user]
+    Enable and start a mediacenter systemd service (requires an existing X server).
+jriver-x11vnc [--service-type=user]
+    Enable and start x11vnc for the local desktop (requires an existing X server, does NOT support Wayland).
+  --vncpass and --display are also valid options (see below).
+jriver-xvnc [--service-type=system]
+    Enable and start a new Xvnc session running JRiver Media Center.
   --vncpass PASSWORD
-        Set vnc password for x11vnc/vncserver access. If no password is set, the script
-        will either use existing password stored in ~/.vnc/jrmc_passwd or use no password
+    Set vnc password for x11vnc/Xvnc access. If no password is set, the script will either use existing password stored in ~/.vnc/jrmc_passwd or use no password.
   --display DISPLAY
-        Display to start vncserver/x11vnc (Default: The current display (x11vnc) or next
-        available display (vncserver))
-jriver-createrepo
-    Install hourly service to build latest MC RPM and run createrepo
+    Manually specify display to use for x11vnc/Xvnc (ex. ':1').
+jriver-createrepo [--service-type=system]
+    Install hourly service to build latest MC RPM and run createrepo.
 ```
 
-#### containers
+#### `--service-type=`
+
+Services use a sane default `--service-type` listed next to the service name in the [`--service=`](#--service) section. User services begin at user login and are managed by the unprivileged user, for example: `systemctl --user stop jriver-mediacenter`. System services begin at boot and are managed by root, for example: `sudo systemctl stop jriver-servicename@username.service`. It is possible to run all services of a particular user at boot using [`sudo loginctl enable-linger username`](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/loginctl.html).
+
+Multiple services (but not `--service-types`) can be installed at one time using multiple `--service` blocks: `installJRMC --install=repo --service=jriver-x11vnc --service=jriver-mediacenter`
+
+#### `jriver-x11vnc` versus `jriver-xvnc`
+
+[jriver-x11vnc](http://www.karlrunge.com/x11vnc/) shares the existing X display via VNC and can be combined with additional services to start Media Center or Media Server. Conversely, [jriver-xvnc](https://tigervnc.org/doc/Xvnc.html) creates a new Xvnc display and starts a JRiver Media Center service in the foreground of the new VNC display.
+
+### Containers
 
 **Coming soon!**
 
-### Examples
+## Firewall
+

+
+## Other Nicities
+
+* Automatically updates `installJRMC` to the latest release.
+* Activates external third-party repositories for improved media playback (hardware decoding, etc.).
+* Adds temporary legacy repositories to provide deprecated libraries.
+* Links non-standard SSL certs.
+* Activates MC if a valid license file is found in common locations.
