Hi,
I have watched JRiver over a number of years and like how 'tweakable' it is (eg. audio DSP).
However I haven't purchased yet as it seems to be missing basic functionality that are essential to any serious media player and now that TMT and WMC are depreciated I want to jump to something different like JRiver but I can't get past the following:
1) OTA TV support. I see the TV support is a focus now that WMC is dead. Although recording functionality would be nice, I can settle for real time TV viewing if JRiver supported DVB-T (Australia) and used the OTA EPG stream (without having to resort to stitching together disparate apps to do this)
2) Blu-ray menus. This is a basic feature that JRiver still doesn't support. I watch a lot of Blu-ray TV series and I can't see how anyone can use JRiver for playback as there are so many files to pick. Also it would be a much nicer experience to show the integrated menus with the menu loop, opening slides etc.
4) Blu-ray 3D support. Like menus this should be a basic requirement of a decent media player. I'm sure I'm not alone with a big 3D movie collection and enjoy watching 3D. Not possible with JRiver.
I can see #1 is being worked on, however #2 and #3 seem to be a blind spot for this otherwise excellent program. Or perhaps I'm not reading the features right, or these are future plans? Let me know, thanks.
Regards
Dean
