JR 22 JRemote wont put my pc to Sleep
« on: August 27, 2016, 10:47:27 am »

Hey folks,
Since upgrading to JR22, I no longer can use my JRemote app to put my windows 10 pc to sleep?  Prior to upgrading, it worked perfectly.  Any thoughts?

Nothing else in my setup changed.  This is a dedicated streaming pc, so its pretty bare bones.

MC22 now requires authentication to do some operations like Shutdown and Sleep.  You'll need to enter a username and password in MC and JRemote.  In MC:

Tools > Options > Media Network > Authentication

Then in JRemote, set up a new server with that same username and password.

That should do it.

Good to hear.

I meant to mention:  You need to be aware that with authentication turned on JRemote can make CHANGES to your library.  Ratings can be changed, songs can be altered (maybe deleted, not sure), etc.
