+
+[code]jriver-mediaserver (user)
+    Enable and start a mediaserver systemd service (requires an existing X server).
+jriver-mediacenter (user)
+    Enable and start a mediacenter systemd service (requires an existing X server).
+jriver-x11vnc (user)
+    Enable and start x11vnc for the local desktop (requires an existing X server, does NOT support Wayland).

+    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 else no password.
+  --display DISPLAY
+    Manually specify display to use for x11vnc/Xvnc (ex. ':1').
+jriver-createrepo (system)
+    Install hourly service to build latest MC RPM and run createrepo.
+[/code]
+
+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.
+Note that it is possible to run all services of a particular user at boot using [tt][url=https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/loginctl.html]sudo loginctl enable-linger username[/url][/tt].
+
+Multiple services (but not [tt]--service-types[/tt]) can be installed at one time using multiple [tt]--service[/tt] blocks:

+
+[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).

-## Executing
+## Usage

 `installJRMC [--option [ARGUMENT]]`

-Running `installJRMC` without any options implies `--install repo` and will install the latest version of JRiver Media Center (MC) from the official JRiver repository (Ubuntu/Debian) or my [unofficial repository](https://repos.bryanroessler.com/jriver/) (Fedora/CentOS) using the system package manager. If any other option is passed, then the default install method (i.e. `--install repo` or `--install local`) must be specified (to allow services and containers to be installed independent of MC).
+`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.

 #### `--service-type=`

-By default, MC services use a sane `--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).
