Do you know what i dont like Jim?
It's just saying  "its not true".

How can it be that JRiver has those problems on much different Systems even on Blank Windows Systems?
How can it be people starting new Thread JRiver keeps crashing?

Why does an AntiVirus Software prevent jriver at any point? Different Software does not have any interferes with it.
Like Foobar, Media Player HC, Itunes, MediaMonkey, ... to tell you some Software which doesnt have problems there.
Its not a option to not use Antivirus Software.

Why does the Windows Mouse Pointer hang while launching Media Center?
Why does the Windows Mouse Pointer hang if you set a volume limit at MC and you try to slide it up to the right?
Why does it hang up if you just switching between music fast?

Jim, you cant decline the Problems of JRiver and say all of the other Software is the cause.

Im not that type who didnt read all of the Threads regarding my problems. Even tried through the whole FAQ.

MC will crash after importing some terabytes of data in mkv format and trying to switch into the Video section.
Its not able to do TheTVDB tagging.
Its bad at Audio - Online Tagging If you want to try tag Music via Amazon even for more famous albums it just does apply the wrong tags.

The reason i use JRiver for Music is just the GUI and Smartlists. You can't let Foobar look like JRiver, if you could i would not need JRiver anymore. You dont have the tools provided in JRiver for tagging manually.

It doesn't for other people.  These are exactly the kinds of problems that "security" software like antivirus programs can cause.

I understand that you have a problem, but I don't believe you've shown that it is a Media Center problem.

If you'd like to try to solve the problem, start a thread on one and provide complete information.  Versions of MC and your OS, drives, antivirus and so on.

If you continue posting general and aggressive complaints without details, your posting privileges will be suspended or terminated.

Your move.

A bit late in this discussion, but there are some things JRiver can not.

But first, I am using JRiver ever since MC 15, almost 10 TB in the database and it rarely crashes.
Thumbs up!

As far as I know JRiver can not use another TV server as back-end, like TVHeadend or NextPVR.
In the Netherlands and most other European countries this means the cable providers have all (already paid for) channels encrypted. Not available in a HTPC. (Rent another set-topbox please).

With running NextPVR or TVHeadend on a (always on) NAS they can be made available to a client, like Kodi or Plex.
I understand this works via a HTSP protocol for streaming of live TV, channels and (EPG) information.
It would be great to integrate this into JRiver!

Another issue is subtitles to TV series.
I do not see how this is supposed to work in JRiver when the files are auto-imported (from NAS folders).

This are two scenarios which would work in Kodi:

NAS with new content -> Kodi import, check for subtitles -> play on HTPC -> TV screen.
HDHomerune Tuner -> NAS TV server -> Kodi live stream HTPC -> Beamer on big screen.

To get the subtitles improved is probably a never ending hassle, but can Yaobing have a look at the TV server back-end, for recording, planning / EPG and streaming using HTSP?
