Distribution Support
Media Center is built and tested on Debian Jessie in both 32 and 64bit flavours.
However Media Center has been shown to run without issue on numerous other distributions including
Details are available in the Linux interact forum.
Dependencies
X
You must have an XServer to run MC. This can be achieved either by running X on on the machine running MC, via a remote ssh connection with X-Forwarding or by having the display exported to the connecting machine.
Desktop Environment
There is no dependency on any particular desktop environment as MC does not use any desktop code nor GTK or KDE.
Linked Libraries
The following is taken from an installed machine using
ldd $(which mediacenter23)| awk '/=>/{print $(NF-1)}' | while read n; do dpkg-query -S $n; done | sed 's/^\([^:]\+\):.*$/\1/' | uniq|sort
- libbsd0
- libc6
- libgcc1
- libgl1
- libglvnd0
- libglx0
- libstdc++6
- libuuid1
- libx11-6
- libxau6
- libxcb1
- libxdmcp6
- libxext6
- libxrandr2
- libxrender1
Audio Devices
MC requires an ALSA device that supports S32_LE, S24_3LE, S24_LE or S16_LE.
NAS Support
MC has been shown to run in such an environment, see NAS for details
Docker
MC can run in a Docker container providing the host OS has some of the required dependencies, a user has provided such a container for MC21 and MC22, details are in https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=106118.0
