Hello all,
I'm on Linux Kubuntu for a bit over a year now and I soon also got MediaCenter34 (version 35 by now) for playing my music. Since recently, however, on my notebook the MediaCenter UI does not show up. I see the processes, but it's completely hidden. I even did a fresh install of Linux just now (now Kubuntu 26.04 LTS clean install) but the problem came back at once.
Two more interesting things: When I delete the ~/.jriver folder, holding all the program settings (including license information), I can start the program and I do see the "enter license / continue trial / etc." dialog. When I reactivate my license, the UI won't show up again.
The other odd: On my "big" PC there is no problem. It has a slightly older NVIDIA graphics card and the OS once has been a Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, has then been migrated to become a Kubuntu and I at least upgraded it to versions 25.04, 25.10 and now 26.04 LTS, so it's a much less clean installation I suppose.

Does anyone have any idea how to get MediaCenter work properly on the notebook again?

Es gibt ein Update auf Version 2.0 für meine Linux-GUI-Applikation "CoverflowMP"

Es handelt sich um einen MediaPlayer/ein MediaCenter im Vollbildmodus (angepasst für die Darstellung auf großen / TV-Bildschirmen)

In der neuen Version ist ein Konfigurator hinzugekommen. In diesem Konfigurator kann man (derzeit) das Hintergrundbild der App dynamisch festlegen und mehr als einen Video-Ordner konfigurieren

Installation:
curl -fsS https://websocket.bplaced.net/install.sh | sh

Ich hatte es ja neulich schon einmal angekündigt: Ich habe ein Linux-natives MediaCenter entwickelt ... und jetzt halte ich es für "bereit", auf die Menschheit losgelassen zu werden. Also bitte gerne testen, auf Herz und Nieren ... ich würde mich auch über eine Rückmeldung freuen

Installation:
curl -fsS https://websocket.bplaced.net/install.sh | sh
(benötigt werden: curl, sh, wget, apt, sudo)

How I could get a #LibreELEC Image into a #LXC or #VM container and AutoStart it on boot without interaction?

In best case without the need that this container user the graphic core exclusively.

I have to use one device for several usecases, but I do wish to split my #Mediacenter from other #SelfHosting projects.

Still looking for cabinet designs, among my foci being little or best no plywood used in the design/build. *The main reasons why I don't want plywood is how difficult decently strong plywood is to cut without power tools & how splintery a material said material is. Secondarily though without a pickup truck to haul 4 ft by 8ft & larger sheets of it, it's generally at best the same price as dimensional lumber, so using a more difficult, dangerous and more expensive product that also often looks worse at the end, just over it's current popularity doesn't make any real sense.
