J River Media Center
I recently purchased J River Media Center 21 master license and I use version 20 64 bit on both of my PCs running Ubuntu 14.04.2 64 bit LTS GNU/Linux. This is a big GNU/Linux port for me this year. Media Center is one of my favorite software applications because it puts Kodi to shame. Version 20 is a work in progress and there are numerous bugs abound, but I am hoping that version 21 will give it more features parity with the Microsoft Windows and Apple Macintosh OS X versions later this Summer. J River Media Center 20 is awesome because it features bit-perfect audio and video playback in theory and it is the only media software application that my Oppo Digital HA-1 works with perfectly. It gets the bit depth and sampling frequency spot on. I have a small and growing number of HD Tracks high resolution PCM music albums and J River Media Center 20 makes each track sing. I will keep paying for new versions at reduced prices each year.
Re: J River Media Center
Do you have a link for this product? I’d like to check it out.
Re: J River Media Center
So, how it works is that you can download and install this software package by navigating to the Support -> Interact (forum) -> J River Media Center for Linux -> and click on the thread that contains the latest version of J River Media Center 20 AMD64 for Debian (Jessie) -> download the .DEB file. Then, you wait to download the file. Next, you’ll open the terminal and cd Downloads along with sudo apt-get install *.deb* followed by sudo apt-get -f install to fix any dependency issues. Launch J River Media Center 20 64 bit and test it out. If you like it, then you can purchase this software product. If you are a new J River customer, then create a free account and verify your e-mail address to activate your account. Once that is done, you have two purchasing options: 1. Master License or 2. Linux only license. The Master License allows you to download updates for J River Media Center 20 and you are entitled to upgrade to version 21 later this Summer for free of charge for Microsoft Windows 7, 8.1, Apple Macintosh OS/X, and GNU/Linux combined. The Linux only license is only good for the GNU/Linux version of J River Media Center 20 and 21, but it’s less expensive.
This is another preferred installation method:
Follow the directions and you’ll add the official J River Media Center software repository and you’ll add the GPG signing key and then you can download and install Media Center 20 64 bit. In the future, Ubuntu’s Software Updater will get future updates for you along with other updates for Ubuntu on each of your PCs too. If you purchase J River Media Center 21 Master License or Linux only license and register your software application, then you will get future upgrades and updates through Ubuntu’s Software Updater too.
Feel free to contact me about this software product if you need tips or tricks. Remember, J River Media Center 20 64 bit is not at the same level of features parity compared to their Microsoft Windows and Apple Macintosh OS X versions yet for GNU/Linux. There are active bugs involved and this is a work in progress. There is no feature to import and organize your digital photographs for the GNU/Linux version and connecting to Amazon Prime, HBO Go, Showtime, Starz, Netflix, are not supported yet, but Hulu is supported. Social media integration is limited as well. If you don’t care about these subscriptions or social media stuff, then J River Media Center 20 will play most of your films, videos, and music just fine, but you got to be patient and expect bugs. Keep your software up to date and it will get better.
J River Media Center 20 beats the pants off of Kodi, VLC, Clementine, etc. period. It’s very advanced and slick to use.
Also, if you purchase J River Media Center 21, then they will send you a special registration file. You will need to save it and back it up. This file will be needed to activate your copy of J River Media Center 20 or 21 to register it. It will also come with a unique product key. You’ll need to save that product key in the future. If you like J River Media Center and you will to purchase new versions every 12 months during the Summer, then you need your unique product key in order to get special repeat business discounts. For example, the Master License costs $79.98 USD, but it is on sale for $69.98 for a limited time period right now. Next year, you can purchase J River Media Center 22 Master License for just $24.99 USD and you can redeem special electronic coupons for additional discounts off of the sale price if you enter your unique product key. This is what I have done myself and it makes this software product invaluable to me at a very affordable price.
I was playing Hilary Hahn’s Bach Violin Concertos and Elgar Violin Concertos and The Lark at 24 bits 192 kHz using my Oppo Digital HA-1 and Sennheiser HD-800 with the CH 800 S balanced 4 pin XLR headphone cable the the sound quality is unbelievable! DeaDBeef doesn’t get the bit depth correct and it does not sound as good as J River Media Center 20. Version 21 is going to be even better. I played The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo Blu-Ray at 1920 X 1080P and J River Media Center 20 played it flawlessly and the picture especially the color accuracy are far superior to VLC. It’s a night and day difference between J River Media Center and FLOSS software packages available for Ubuntu to handle multimedia content.
