The press and hold to delete function has rarely, if ever worked for me, and causes frustration to the point where  I deleted JRemote from my tablet last night out of frustration. Please advise if it is possible to reinstate JRemote without having to pay for another copy, ideally with advice on how to clear or change the list of servers.  JRemote has showed 3 identically named versions of the same server. Last night, one of those instances 'became' the IP address (and network code) of a different system, the one that I was actually trying to connect to! After half an hour of frustration around the dinner table because we could not get music to play, I removed JRemote because I could not see any other way to clear the data that JRemote was using.  I have had a similar problem with my phone: its  list of servers includes a server I haven't owned for at least 3 years, despite multiple attempts to delete it. Finally, my daughter has baulked at paying for JRemote for her phone because of the cost - until the performance is what it should be, I certainly cannot recommend it to her.

I just tried it in JRemote2 for Android and it works fine there.

I suppose the question is, to be perfectly clear, are you using the original JRemote for Android or the new JRemote2 for Android?

I believe that I was using the original JRemote.

It took me some time, JRemote 2 is working as it should, but it's cost me another £10. Consequently it feels like I've thrown good money after bad. Is it wise for a company to take over a product that is failing then offer a new version (with the same name) to their existing customer base? I don't think so. The experience in setting up both spotify and radio streaming via mpv was  easier, quicker and cost free for this specific device.

Unfortunately because of the 6+ months of full-time development it took to re-write JRemote from scratch, JRiver decided to release JRemote2 for Android as a separate app requiring another purchase instead of just pushing it as an update for the original JRemote for Android to cover those development costs. If they issued JRemote2 as an update to the original JRemote they'd likely would've done it at a loss of revenue because of the lengthy development time that they wouldn't be able to recoup, so it does make sense that they did it that way.

JohnWalker, you could have just cleared the Data for the original JRemote in Android, and all servers would have been deleted, if there was no other method. Then you could just set up JRemote as you wished.

I'm pretty sure the original JRemote on Android was written by JRiver as well. It was the iOS version that was written by a third party and then taken over.

Anyway, now you have a better version of JRemote on Android. The Delete Server function works, and you can edit Server settings as well, if you need to change them in the future, rather than deleting and creating a new server record.

Enjoy!

JRiver hired the original developer and he did the Android development while working for JRiver. Unfortunately, he left JRiver before the Android development was fully finished.  It was a very different development environment than JRiver normally uses, so a rewrite was in order.  At least, that is my understanding.

That's my understanding as well. Same developer, but employed by JRiver. Hence, a JRiver development. I was simplifying.
