JRiver on Android -- Development Discussion, Questions, & Answers
JimH:
JRiver for Android can't currently use another server. It only plays files from the Android device.
You could use Panel to open another server.

I just bought the app and I can't do anything with it (other than look at some photos on my phone). Should I be able to play music from my JRiver server running on my pc while in my house? I have songs physically on my phone that don't show up in the audio window either. I don't see any way to access anything at all other than the photos on my phone.
Maybe I'm missing something, but there aren't many settings available so I'm not sure what to do.
I'm using a Samsung S7,
Thanks

Music files need to be in the default Music directory on the internal storage. JRiver for Android doesn't yet have an option to change to a custom directory (e.g. Music directory on a microSD card/external storage for example).
Also JRiver for Android is accessed/controlled in a web browser via Panel so a web browser needs to be installed on the device (plus setting it as the default browser under Android's settings is probably a good idea too). See if you can access it by navigating to http://localhost:52199/Panel/ in a web browser on the device.

Help! I downloaded JRiver Media Player for Android, thinking that it would be a great player to use with high quality headphones. (Samsung Galaxy Note 8) When the app first installs, it does a scan. It pulled up only one album out of the many that are on my phone. (Other players show every album). I then installed the app on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4. It located no music, only a few pictures. I've looked for a way to do a rescan and I cannot find it. I don't want to ask for a refund because I'd rather get the app to work. Please help. Thank you.

Look above at my last post, music files have to be in the default Music directory on the internal storage of the device. Using external storage (e.g. microSD card) or changing the music directory isn't supported yet.
