Can I launch JRiver from Kodi?

well i just bought a license for JRiver 22 but find myself back to kodi for two reasons only
1: Kodi MVC fork has flawless 3D mvc mkv playback on my intel chipset. jr just crashes after several mins. i know it's madVR and/or lav but you should note the limitation somewhere.
2: JRemote is weak sauce currently. i like it but the Kodi remote app is slick
i actually am in the same boat. JRiver is better for audio for my needs. Kodi is better for video. could not care less about the GUI as honestly JRemote is good enough though buggy.
tagging and library flexibility in jremote is superior and once you get the hang of settings things up it is just darn powerful.
i also use it as a DMC for my oppo but gapless playback killed my usage since i have a lot of classical, art and prog rock.
hope you guys fix the 3D. if kodi can do it certainly JR can too. i have been considering building a cheap nvidia solution because 3D seems to work fine there but unfortunately NVidia does not support 88.2 or 176.4 audio and i have a lot of music in 88.2. prefer not to resample. it's always some compromise......
cheers - happy to fund :). doing same for Plex. on of you guys will finally make the perfect htpc solution!

A better answer to the original question would probably be that there are several ways to launch MC from kodi because it is a simple executable. You would probably get a more specific answer from the kodi forums.

JRiver won't be fixing 3D for Intel, that would require the developer(s) of madVR.
I don't know about Nvidia but why not an AMD video card?

Before I had JRiver, I had kodi with DS player but I had nothing but problems from my video card driver crashing. My solution was to do this, and it worked. I wasn't concerned so much with having a graphics card as much as getting away from intel graphics driver problems. I found an open box amd silent card online, and got it for about thirty bucks.
