JRiver on Android -- Development Discussion, Questions, & Answers

Great to see with .108 files will finally play from Movies!
But reading the menu system in Movies on the Shield there are no genres, all the movies are just bunched together in alphabetical order, I have thousands of movies so this wont work.
Also the subtitles for all movies are locked on and I see no way of removing them in the shield.
PQ on 4K movies looks great though and DTS-MA 7.1 is bit-streaming!
We're getting there people!

As it seemed that JRiver for Android TV was getting there, I decided to install it on my Sony KD-65X9300D Android TV.
I was using only the IR Remote Control for the TV, so that added some challenges to loading a MC Server Library. But with the correct button sequence, that worked.
However, the only media that will play is images, and each image takes 15 to 30 seconds to load, and only one image will load at a time.
No Audio or Video media will play, at all.
This leaves a little to be desired.

Just to bump this...
I have the same issue as in this post running on my 2015 4K Sony KD-65X9300D. While it is designated as a 2015 design, but I bought it in December 2016, so no doubt it had some hardware updates along the way. It is an advanced Smart TV running Android TV version 8.0.0 with Kernel version 3.10.79 from March 4th 2020. Very recent.
It doesn't work really, other than menu navigation and loading a remote Library. It can't play anything other than images and does that badly.
I was hoping JRiver for Android TV would run on such a platform. Really, after the Shield and maybe a few lower-end Android TV devices, it should run best on Android TV based Smart TVs, such as the Sony. Those are the primary platforms for Android TV. The current "Xiaomi Mi Box S", which is the only other certified Android TV box apart from the Shield apparently, only runs Android TV 8.1. The Shield is only running Android 9.0 (Pie) powered by Android TV™.
Also, MO 4Media runs on my Sony TV pretty well. It doesn't play all video formats, as I understand it uses the Android playback engine/components, rather than ExoPlayer, but it works for Video, Audio, and Images.
Given that JRemote2 exists for running on mobile phones, I would have thought the most appropriate market for JRiver for Android would be Android TV devices, where a TV could run stand-alone without a NUC or similar small format PC running a MC Client. JRiver for Android TV could be the perfect solution in that situation.

Hi
Just updated my shield to 8.2 and the new nvidia HDR to SDR tone mapping works fantastic.
First time I've tried JRiver android in a while. Its coming along very nicely.
Cheers

Can you use android JRiver to control MC on another PC (much like MC acts as Tremote)?
