MELCO N1A with JRiver
blgentry:
I think that's a terrible idea. But if you really want to do that, then you need to enable DLNA support on your Melco and use MC as a DLNA controller, with the Melco acting as both a DLNA server and renderer.
I don't know if the Melco supports DLNA in this way. But that's the only way that MC can do what you're asking as far as I know.

Melco supports DLNA, and works both as a server and player. I can connect a USB-DAC directly to the Melco and control it through a UPnP control point. In JRiver when I load the library in MC, I can select Melco which shows up as a DLNA device. Works perfectly, the library on Melco loads within seconds and clicking on Album view I see my 200 albums that are encoded in FLAC. I can select the Mytek DAC which shows up as a player, select an album/song and music starts playing. Very Happy. Why does MC not load the DSD albums in a similar way?
suser:
Linn Kinsky desktop app is working perfectly. I can see all the DSD albums and can even play Quad DSD through it. If guys at JRiver can sort this out I would be very happy. Thanks
suser:
Can a member of JRiver team please explain why my DSD albums are not being populated over DLNA? Is this a bug and can I expect the team to look into it. I spent £40 on a software and the alternative free one works perfectly. Does sting a little bit. Oh and before anyone comes along and tells me about the free trial I only tested it with 24/192 files and not DSD. I just presumed that if its working with 24/192 it will work with DSD also.
btully:
I also have a Melco N1 - I want to control it, but am not a big fan of the newish Melco app - I like JR's format and info better and also want to use my big PC screen; so like suser, I would like to use JR to control the Melco; but unlike suser, I can't get JR to see even my Melco's redbook files. Could somebody provide me a more detailed explanation of how to do this: JR doesn't seem to see the IP address of the Melco, although I have the Melco's drive successfully mapped onto my PC; also I don't see an access key in the Melco's settings; so I can't "add library," which is what intuition (often a poor guide) is telling me to do. But like suser, I only want to use JR as control device; not as a renderer.
Blgentry; why do you say this is a terrible idea?; and do you have a better idea for controlling the Melco from a PC?
Am using Windows 10, which was and may still be a bit sketchy on this kind of network file sharing.
Thanks for any thoughts!
