More > JRiver Media Center 21 for Windows
This tool is not available when connected to a server
Mike Foran:
I recently upgraded from v.20 to v.21 on my Windows based network, and an issue has arisen. Prior to the upgrade, I could, from my desktop computer, open the JRiver library hosted from my server, import files, then hit F6 to move them to the server location. My desktop and my server all have the same drive letters assigned. I have several profiles for moving different types of media to the media server's drive this way. However, after this upgrade, as soon as I hit F6 to initiate the Move command, I get an error message "this tool is not available when connected to a server."
Is this a change in v.21? If so, why? I had no problems with the way it was working before. If not, has something broken in the upgrade?
Mike Foran:
Is this really not an issue for anyone? Is my question not clear? This is really a big issue for the way my house is set up. I have a media server that hosts the library, and each family member shares the library on their own computers. Up to now it hasn't been an issue for each member to add their own media to the library but now it's prohibited.
Am I the only one having this issue? Is this not how anyone else uses JRiver? Is there a better way for multiple stations to add media to the shared library? Since this is the only means of getting support on this program I'd appreciate some feedback.

I have thoughts on this, but I need to do more testing and collect more evidence.
The ability to use RMCF and to copy files from clients has absolutely "weakened" in the Media Network setup over time, and now is completely disabled. I haven't had time or energy to go back and reinstall old versions and figure out the exact chain of events that led us here, though.

Still have v20 on my PC and RMCF tool doesn't work on a client either. So it was disabled before version 20. I think Mike F must have had his desktop machine running as the server before. Otherwise he'd have gotten a similar error message prior to his upgrade

Hmm, interesting. Yes, I believe I originally set up the library on my Desktop, but then moved it to the server once I had a better idea how JRiver worked. Would that have influenced things? I am happy to replicate this setup if it meant this functionality would be restored (although it seems a bit ridiculous to have to do so).
