openwrtbuilder

This program will install JRiver Media Center (JRMC) and associated services on most major Linux distros.

Executing

openwrtbuilder [--option [ARGUMENT]]

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 (Fedora/CentOS) using the system package manager (--install repo). If any other option is specified, then the default install method (i.e. --install repo or --install local) will need to be explicitly specified. This makes it possible to install services and containers independent of MC.

Note: As of 1.0b14 major version library migrations are performed if the destination config directory $HOME/.jriver/Media Center XX is missing for major release XX. However, it is still a good idea to create a manual library backup before migrating major versions.
