I split out a bunch of posts about accessing Settings in JRemote from the "unable to connect to server" page, and merged them with an already going thread. It's over here: Can't Access Settings in JRemote With Invalid Server(s) Added

If you have any more comments or news about this, please post them in that thread.

Tapping the search icon in JRemote on my iPad mini (IOS9) closes the app?!?

Am I the only one seeing an issue with the search function?

note: I see that the problem is being addressed, sorry for my post.

Confirming that I see this on iPad mini 2..

Would someone with a iPhone 6 and or 6s send some screenshots of JRemote in action to bob (at) jriver (dot) com?
Need a few new ones for the app store and we don't have those models.

I can do this tonight. Do you need any particular screens?

How about pretty much everything?

Let me know if you want iPad versions of the same ones, or anything different.

Also, if needed, I have a few albums by a friend that I could get to release album art permissions for... That will pretty strictly limit the things I can screenshot, but if you want something, I could cough up a few.

Actually that would be kind of cool; see if you can show just albums whose owners are not paranoid about money or lawyers; probably that is quite an eclectic collection; it might even go viral..

I don't think Apple would recognize the distinction, and it won't work without their approval, no matter how silly the process may be.

Trialling an iPhone 6s Plus here... my first ever foray into the i-world...

Does JRemote not rotate into landscape mode?

I'm thinking it should but I've never run on a phablet device.
IIRC it does rotate properly on a mini2 which is about the same resolution.

Thanks Bob,

There must be either a bug, or a setting I'm missing, because mine is locked in portrait orientation?

Hilton · « **Reply #63 on:** November 20, 2015, 04:23:14 pm »

JRemote definitely supports landscape mode on iPhone 6+ and 6S+. I just tested it.

marko · « **Reply #64 on:** November 20, 2015, 05:20:24 pm »

Any ideas why mine won't enter landscape mode?

You don't have rotation locked on the device do you?

JRemote rotates on my iPad and iPad Mini. It does not on my iPhone 6 (which is fine with me, it would be too hard to use in that orientation). I don't know about the Plus sized phones, as I don't have one and haven't tried it, but Hilton says yes, so...

But, you can lock rotation on iOS devices in control center:

It's not locked, no. Other apps rotate just fine. I removed and replaced jremote, and then the first time I launched it, I held in landscape and it opened correctly, but then refused to rotate into portrait mode. I rebooted the phone, launched it again to have it locked in portrait mode again.

I'm stumped.

marko · « **Reply #67 on:** November 21, 2015, 02:35:44 am »

Google has the answer

Seems to be an iOS bug.
Messing some more with JRemote this morning, it would still not auto rotate, but from portrait with playing now open, if I rotated the phone, the app remained in portrait, but if I then closed playing now, the reappeared in landscape, and if I then opened playing now again, it too was in landscape. Wierd and horrible.

I later noticed my home screen was not rotating either...
I had my display set to "Zoomed".
Returning that back to "Standard" has fixed everything, so, I guess for now "Standard" stays.

Thanks again for the replies.

I'm also having rotation issues on an iPhone 6s with iOS9.1 (latest build 13B143). All other apps on my phone that support rotation work fine, with only JRemote having a problem.

Although I can get the app to rotate the screen to landscape when I open the "playing now" window with the phone already in landscape orientation, the app never rotates any screen to landscape when I have the app open in portrait orientation and rotate the phone to landscape, and never rotates any screen other than "playing now" when opened when the phone is in landscape orientation.

The only screen that appears to support landscape is "playing now", and then only when the phone is already in landscape orientation when that screen is opened.

I'd really like the app to enable rotation switching as the phone is rotated, and to allow all windows to rotate, not just "playing now".

Hilton · « **Reply #69 on:** November 27, 2015, 05:31:51 pm »

I'm pretty sure it's only supposed to work in landscape on 6+ or 6s+ or iPads. The 6 and 6s don't landscape home screen do they?

marko · « **Reply #70 on:** November 27, 2015, 08:42:11 pm »

I'm not sure, being an i-tech newbie, but, the behaviour described by David is exactly the behavior I was experiencing on the 6s+.

David, is your view set to "Zoomed" or "Standard"?
If it is "Zoomed" try setting it to Standard and see if that corrects things.

If it does, I don't know how you determine if that is an Apple bug, or a JRemote bug. I decided not to go there and just leave it on "Standard".

David R. Williams · « **Reply #71 on:** November 28, 2015, 03:37:23 pm »

It's set to standard and rotation is not locked.

Ahh, of course. I didn't think of that.

That's not a bug, Marko. That's by design. When you set it to Zoomed, then the screen real-estate you have on a Plus sized device is identical to the non-Plus phones in Standard mode. So, it switches rotation to behave like a standard sized device. Some apps do rotate on 6/6s sized devices. But others (like JRemote) only rotate on Plus or iPad sized devices.

Correct. And if you put your Plus into Zoomed mode, then it (effectively) is a 6/6s sized device.

The rule of thumb is: JRemote will rotate if your home screen icons rotate. Otherwise, it is locked to portrait, just like the home screen.

marko · « **Reply #73 on:** December 02, 2015, 02:01:21 am »

Thanks Glynor.

Thing is, if the home is not rotating, JRemote does (on this 6s+, zoomed), but in a wierd way...

To replicate:
JRemote, main interface on show, turn screen to landscape, JRemote does not rotate, as expected, right?
Now bring up the playing now screen. It displays in landscape mode. Not expected?
Now close playing now, and the main interface appears in landscape mode. Not expected?

It makes it feel broken.
