C:\Program Files\J River\Media Center 23\Media Center 23.exe
C:\Program Files\J River\Media Center 23\JRWorker.exe
C:\Program Files\J River\Media Center 23\JRWeb.exe

So I would think those should be the minimum, with the others mentioned optional.

I see no reason to exclude JRWorker / JRWeb, unless someone on the JRiver team tells us otherwise.
And since they're executed via the Media Center 23 process, I'm not sure it would make a difference whether you exclude them or not.

I think you would need to exclude those, too.

Do they do anything more than run the web browser / download podcasts?
If that's all they do, it seems unnecessary - or potentially harmful - to exclude them. A web browser should never be excluded from anti-virus.
 
I always err on the side of caution, so my recommendation is to only set up process exclusions for "C:\Program Files\J River\Media Center 23\Media Center 23.exe" EDIT: and "C:\Program Files\J River\Media Center 23\JRWorker.exe" if you are experiencing problems caused by Defender.


But if you want to exclude everything that Media Center does, it would make more sense to set up folder exclusions than 15+ different processes (if you want to get them all).
"C:\Program Files\J River\" and "%APPDATA%\J River\" - or "%APPDATA%\J River\Media Center 23\Plugins\" if you want to be safer - should do that.
I really don't think it's necessary though.

JRWorkers primary purpose is to perform file analysis on newly imported media files, as well as extract thumbnails. And enumerate handheld devices.
