JRemote Not Playing Files With MC 25 & Allo Sparky

(1/3) > >>

Hello

I had a recent post about MC25 not starting on an Allo Sparky which has been resolved.
https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,121653.0.html

Tonight I had my first chance to actually listen to some music played through the Sparky and I couldn't get JRemote to play music. I entered the updated access key and JRemote connects to the Sparky, allows me to scroll through music options and "play" something but nothing plays. The app indicates that the track is current but there is no progress. Remoted into the Sparky, there is no indication that the track has been selected or queued. I've tried killing the app then retrying and accessing through another (android) device and the result was the same.

I can remote into the device and play audio from JRiver. I can also play music via Panel. When I play music from JRiver or via panel, the JRemote app does not indicate that anything is playing other than the last track I attempted to play using the app.

I am able to play music using JRemote on my to pi's just fine. I've done my best to double check that the Sparky is setup the same way as the pi's. MC24 worked just fine.

Any suggestions?

Check to make sure your MC user on the Sparky has audio device access and check the audio device selected by MC on the Sparky...

Hi Bob

Thanks for the suggestions. I was able to verify that my user is in the audio group and the appropriate sound device is selected. I'll also point out that I am able to play music on the sparky via panels or MediaCenter when remoted in to the sparky.

bob:
You are using JRemote (Android?) to play music on JRemote OR the Sparky?
Same test on the Pi's?
Music format?
Did you at some point in time copy the MC Settings files from a Pi to the Sparky perhaps (that would cause issues).

Send me a PM with the access key for the Sparky and one of the Pi's that works.

Hi Bob

I use JRemote (android) to play music on the Sparky (as well as my pi's, windows box, etc.). Most of my music is two channel apple lossless. I'll point out that with MC24 playback worked just fine from the sparky.

I have not copied any files from the pis to the sparky.

I'll PM you the access keys.

Thanks for your help
Matt
