NEW: Panel -- A Built-in Web App for MC and Engen

(1/88) > >>

JimH:
Note: Instructions are at the bottom of this post.  You need to have MC 23 installed and running (either MC or Media Server).  Media Network must be turned on in MC settings. 

JRiver Media Center runs a web server that you can connect to with Panel.  You connect to it from a browser on port 52199. 

Panel is a very exciting new feature.  Synergy is a great word to describe it.  The whole is greater than the sum of the parts.

[Edit: This feature has been extended and improved in MC23.]

Here's are some screenshots from October, 2017:

Panel on a phone

It works with a computer, a phone, or a tablet.  It uses HTML5 to do some cool stuff.

The web page in the screenshot is generated by MC and it brings together many of the client apps that we've built.  It builds on work we've done over the years, and on a lot of recent work by most members of the team.  It looks simple, but it isn't.

Panel is a suite of apps in one location, a smart web app that's easy to use.  It provides direct access to apps that you may have used or heard about:  WebGizmo, WebPlay, WebRemote, Engen, and MC.

It's friendly.  Point and click (or touch).  Something happens.

The settings icon provides remote access to the JRiver Id settings now and will give you access to some of MC's settings in the future.

The + icon leads to more apps.

Panel will be expanded to include other apps.  It will always be the easy to find launch point.

Demonstration
A demonstration of Panel is here:

Instructions
Media Center 23 (or higher) or Media Server must be installed and running.  Media Network must be turned on in MC settings. 

You can open Panel from a web browser by entering this URL:

http://[IP_Address]:52199  (changing [IP_Address] to your own IP address)  Example: http://192.168.0.13:52199

localhost:52199 will do the same thing when the browser is running on the same machine as MC.

Alternatively

You can access Panel with the Access Key from your server by browsing to this URL:

https://jriver.com/panel.html

Enter your access key, select your playback location, and click connect.

Gotta love cool stuff.

JimH:
This project has its roots in the Pretty Face discussion from last year.

I like the star background it makes em feel the sky's the limit. 8)

You mentioned "It's friendly.  Point and click (or touch)"
I'm curious how remote control friendly fits into that.
Are there any thoughts about how those two world collide?

Thanks
