# installJRMC
|
|
|
|
This program will install [JRiver Media Center](https://www.jriver.com/) and associated helper services on Fedora (>=29), CentOS (>=8), Ubuntu (>=16.04), and Debian (>=9).
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
|
|
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. Doing so may lead to permissions issues. `installJRMC` will prompt you for your `sudo` password as necessary to install dependencies and services.
|
|
|
|
## 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. If any other option is specified then the default install method will need to be specified using `--install-repo` (or `--install-rpmbuild`). This makes it possible to create services, containers, repos, etc. separate from installing Media Center.
|
|
|
|
Here is a list of additional options that can be passed to the script. You can always find the latest supported options by running `installJRMC --help`.

|
|
|
|
|
|
### 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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
```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-mediacenter
|
|
Enable and start x11vnc for the local desktop (requires an existing X server)
|
|
--vncpass 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 x11vnc/Xvnc (Default: The current display (x11vnc) or the
|
|
current display incremented by 1 (Xvnc))
|
|
jriver-xvnc-mediacenter
|
|
Enable and start an Xvnc session running JRiver Media Center
|
|
--vncpass and --display are also valid options (see above)
|
|
jriver-createrepo
|
|
Install hourly service to build latest MC RPM and run createrepo
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
##### `jriver-x11vnc-mediaserver` versus `jriver-xvnc-mediacenter`
|
|
`x11vnc` shares your existing X display via vnc and starts a minimized JRiver Media Center service. Conversely, `xvnc` creates a new VNC display and starts a JRiver Media Center service in the foreground. The requisite firewall rules will also be added to the system firewall to enable remote access.
|
|
|
|
**Note**: If `jriver-xvnc-mediacenter` finds an existing display it will attempt to increment the display number by 1. This should work fine in 99% of cases, but if you have multiple running X servers on your host machine you should use the `--display` option to specify a free display.
