Loading master license into JRiver on QNAP

VR6, are you trying to play the actual albums on the QNAP install of MC?

So far, I'm using the "30 day trial" and I'm only using the QNAP MC to act as a media server.  I'm using the JRemote software on my iPad (and iPhone) to receive the stream from QNAP MC.  So far, this has been working perfectly, and my Hugo DAC is showing the right bitrate, tested from 44.1kHz to 192kHz.

Nachocheese,

I am trying to play the album files that are on the QNAP though the MC that is installed on the QNAP. What are you doing right and me wrong?

When you say you are using it as a media server I thought that is what I am doing also.

JimH:
Take a look at the Media Network topic on our wiki. 

MC can be used directly or it can be used to serve files via DLNA or its own protocol (using another copy of MC on another machine to play).  You can also use a remote control program like Gizmo or JRemote to control playback.

VR6,

Got it.  Here is a quick preview of my setup.  It should work assuming the actual files/albums are all fine.

1) On the QNAP/HD Station/MC, go to Tools->Options.  Then in the left panel select "Media Network".  Select checkbox next to "Use Media Network to share this library and enable DLNA.

Right underneath, there should be a "... Access Key: " and 6 character alphanumeric key.  For my QNAP, I had to click on it, then say yes, to get that 6 character word to pop up.

2) On either my iPhone or iPad, I purchased JRemote (yeah, it sucks you have to pay again, but this is a really easy to use app).  There are other DLNA apps out there but they require a little more setup.  With JRemote, I simply choose "Add a new server", then "Connect with access key", and then type in the 6 character alphanumeric key.

3) Then, on JRemote, at the bottom of the screen, there is the name of the server, and then "Player".  Select this, and then choose "This device".  Basically, you need to set the zone to "This device" which means the output is sent out the lightning connector.

4) I have Apple's official Camera Connector Kit (lightning to USB), that I then connect to a USB->MicroUSB cable, that then connects to my Hugo DAC.

Overall, my QNAP/HDStation/MC is only a server, and does not play any files.  Everything is streamed to my iPhone or iPad.  Hope this gives you an idea of my setup.

Sorry, everybody, this thread is called "Loading master license into JRiver on QNAP". Instead of talking about how to play from JRiver server to Hugo player via iPad, could anybody answer how to install master license on QNAP JRiver.
Thanks
