Hello,
thank you very much for your work.
it also works on odroid-C2

After days of frustration this is the only one that worked like a freakin charm, thank you!

Now how do I get it to work with MYJdownloader?

Bau250: Install JDownloader as normal. Fire up the gui (export DISPLAY=YOUREMOTEX:0; java -jar path/to/JDownloader.jar) and click the tab in the GUI marked "MyJDownloader" and enter the account settings from the website after your signed up there.. http://my.jdownloader.org

JD will save you settings, and you can exit the program and use it headless again and control it with the android client or the web interface, what have you.

I use this on a raspberry, but JDownloader doesnt start at boot.

@fabme1 add a cronjob

@fabme1 you can also try this script: https://gist.github.com/atiris/34dc670264274b3a472f2a718e4de83a

Thanks for the startup script.
Problem is when the daemon is running on the background I can't start the JDownloader GUI.
How could I be able to run it on background but still open the GUI when needed?

I think is not possible, JDownloader avoids to open multiple windows, so, one process only. Use the web interface or the app of JDownloader.
