I had an idea this morning.

I have multi movement classical works linked together. However, when volume leveling is enabled, volume changes from track to track.

Can linked tracks be set to use the uniform album volume leveling tag, so they don't jump volumes from track to track?

Hello. One request or a feature if it possible. I'm trying a way to do something but, the limitation is force me to cant do what i desire. Which i come to ask this as a request or feature. It is possible to make the list size on tag window, automatic resize on the size of the image which you included in this https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,121636.0.html, where you can add images, use different size, but it seems that work only on tooltips and not other places. Right now if we use the image(custom) in tag window it show the album of that selected file. Or a way to implemented to add different image file in the way you added in image(custom).
Thanks.

I wish that DSP Parametric Equalizer had an option to import the REW EQ text file. I know there is some option somewhere to generate a WAV file and import it, but having both options would be ideal. I was typing 16 x 3 parameters yesterday... Plus a calculated gain reduction to avoid clipping.

I would like to be able to make "Zoneswitch" automatic in a playlist or "Playing Now" if possible.  I have a few 3.1 files that require their own setup/zone and other files on video/DVD-A/SACD that also have their own setup/zone.  It would be nice if I can put them all in one playlist where they just play one after the other.

As it is now, each is a separate player and can't follow in sequence (At least that's how it works for me).   Would be a nice M26 upgrade.

Dear sir, Please add scheduling backup feature to back up Library automatically~ Thanks!

[RoderickGI]

Dear sir, Please add scheduling backup feature to back up Library automatically~ Thanks!

Already there.

Just set up a daily backup using the MC "Services & Plug-ins > Scheduler" function. See image.

If you want more frequent backups, just use Windows Task Scheduler. See https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,114945.msg794775.html#msg794775

[thescottmclean]

Still no mention/reply of a IPTV option.  Any reason to why, or why not?  Anyone? Even speculation to why or why not,would suffice.

[SkGe]

Hello. I know the MC26 is available now, but i want to see if this has any chance as a feature request. As right now the expression field in window tag is show only one line, and if i add a field with a list mode in that expression field it shows as a string and not as a list mode. It is a way to break this using (&datatype=[ list]) and show that expression in a list view instead. I know i can do it by using the listlimit(), but the problem there, is sometimes it can get more than one value, and the rest of none info it show a white space.

[avpman]

When playing a playlist (any playlist, smart, random or otherwise) if I hear a song I really like it would be cool to *easily* insert the entire album from which that song came from into the playlist; starting at the next track in the playlist.

Would be great if Houseband could support such a command. "Alexa tell Houseband to insert the current album" or something such as that.

Hope that makes sense.

[HyroProto]

In Theater Mode, Pls make a sorting option available to show albums of an artist appear in release Date order.

This is already the default display method of albums of an artist in the standard view. Why change in theater view ?

In a discography, which most of us have, it is pointless to show albums in alphabetical order of an artist. There should be a sort option for albums by release date..

Or is there a way to do this already?

[TorqW]

Can we have support for HEIC format photos please

[RoderickGI]

Yes.

I moved my answer to your thread: https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,123456.0.html

[ssands]

I would like a one-off way to override the "Ignore Articles" setting.
I imagine it would be a tag setting.

[imeric]

This is an important one! It would also need to read the metadata.

Hydroproto,

Make sure release date Tag is good

Create an Expression in the view [date] [album name]

Voila

[mattkhan]

Add a minimum length option to the "create particles for BD/DVD titles" to eliminate the need to manually delete all the superfluous titles that exist on most (all?) BDs

[dabu]

An option so that, when JRiver is in Internal Volume mode, it mirrors the volume setting of the sound device. This would let us more conveniently control volume when using ASIO/WASAPI-X output, especially in combination with the new "Hot Keys (ignore volume)" mode for media keys.

[Mike...]

- Updated UI (I'm using Modern Cards), just some minor tweaks here and there. Increase the size of things that can be dragged and clicked, like volume slider and the triangles that open and close and hide various parts of the interface (such as left pane and now playing queue).

- Allow easy selection of accent color to change for example volume bar and waveform.

- Add option for subtle rounding of thumbnail corners.

- Sometimes a video thumbnail is a frame that does not look good (like black frame or fade in/out). One can right-click and choose Rebuild Thumbnail, but that builds the same one (x seconds as configured in settings). Please add a second Rebuild Thumbnail context menu item that advances a couple of frames. Or perhaps thumbnail generation could intelligently avoid dark/black frames automatically.

I assume you are aware of the "Toggle List Style" setting under the "More" menu in Theatre View, and none of the list styles meets your needs?

Hi Roderick. My preference is for the horizontally scrolled cover view, 3 rows high. The elastic animation just makes it a bit harder to use when you have lots of media. I think the option to disable it and to have page up/down = left/right would make it more usable.

HALF STAR RATING SYSTEM.

Too often I have songs that sits right between two stars and I have no way of sorting them or creating playlists based on how I really would rate them, and end up having to lump them together with other songs that I actually rate a bit lower or higher, and it's very annoying.

We've been asking for this for years, and I will not upgrade to any future version unless it has this feature (or equivalent of it, such as 1-10 system, or 100% system).

In this day and age, our entire civilization is accustomed to the 5-star with half star rating system populated by Amazon and other online review systems. It is the most ubiquitous and intuitive. It makes perfect sense to have it in the MC rating system. A close second would be movie review systems using the 1-10 (with decimal point) or 100% system, but some movie review systems also use the 5 star (with half star) system.

[Moe]

You can already rate things on a 1-10 scale.

Create a new field, name it whatever you want, and in the edit type section choose "Ten stars".

[maky100]

But can we use it instead of the 5 stars views, I think not. I mean to see and use it on top of JRiver and the same in JRemote

[Lunatique]

You can already rate things on a 1-10 scale.

Create a new field, name it whatever you want, and in the edit type section choose "Ten stars".

Thanks! I just tried it and it works. It would be nice to allow half-stars in a 5-star system though, so it takes up less room in the column width, and look cleaner/more intuitive visually. It much easier to identify a 3.5 star rating than a 7 star rating when you see rows and rows of a bunch of stars in a glance.

Hi. Please let Italian people open music.amazon.it instead of .com,  and let us access to it from theater view. Then let us access to cloudpplay from the theater view.

Provide a simple way to re-rip a CD collection. I ripped my entire collection ages ago and would prefer a higher quality format. I don't want to lose my tags, renamed tracks, # of plays, etc. I just want, for example, the 10 tracks I rip now to overwrite the 10 tracks I ripped before, replacing them even if the format is different.

[orionn]

When searching for a piece/file, jriver shows the coverart of the albums in which the piece exists, but when selecting one of these albums then the search filter is cancelled instead of drilling down.
Example: I go into Rock genre by Artist and do a search for "People are People" of Depeche Mode.  Search result is Depeche Mode showing a specific album cover but when I select it, jriver displays all Depeche Mode albums instead of displaying only the album with "People are People", so I have to run the search again to locate the specific album.

[rbmjr]

1) I applaud the new Stop After choices. Could Stop After also include a stop after "x" number of songs. Stopping at time intervals doesn't provide a clean stopping point for playback. Done

2) When I remote desktop in from my tablet to manage what's playing it would be nice to have a "tablet mode" button in Media Center to make management by touch easy to do

3) Export to iTunes should export ratings and other tags to iTunes. I still use MCiTunesSynchronizer to update the iTunes library

4) this request could possibly be the fault of my stereo equipment, however, during extended playback data from my desktop to my stereo gets out of sync. The song will start, then perhaps a minute into the song the title and cover art will appear. After awhile the song and data become so out of sync that playback fails.

I was trying this, but this URL returns an error:

While the US version works:

So I'm not sure we'll be able to do it unless we can find a work around.

They use a different node ID in different countries, try this one:

The ID is different in every country, can't just change the domain only

Would be great if there was a setting to play the highest resolution audio file when there are duplicates.  My collection has many duplicates as I use mp3s for portable devices due to storage but prefer hi res at home.  MM has this feature which I thought was cool and avoided rearranging all my folders or libraries.  If this is a current feature, my apologies...couldnt find in a search.

Also would be great to have a link or integration with discogs.  I have a huge collection of vinyl and reels, so it would be cool to access everything in one hub.

Thanks for all the great work.  This is by far the best program I've tried.   

[stevenjw]

I like the ability to edit / modify / rename the following tags (for video):

Last Played
Dimensions
Sample Rate
FPS
Date Imported
Date Created

Some of these are blank for imported .iso files and I'd like the ability to populate them with meaningful data.

Hi, I posted this in MC23 and again in MC26 https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,123580.msg855976.html#msg855976

I don't use playlists. My main use is similar to my LP or CD collection - to browse albums as the artist intended, by artist in alphabetic order. WMP has a view which let's me do just this with an identification (artist name) and a separator (new line) between each artist. I'd like this in JRiver as per the referenced post. Would have posted in Feature Requests back in MC23 but only just found it tonight. Hence this post. Now I have setup a media PC with big SSD, installed JRiver on tablet & PC & Phone, this is my last hurdle to ditching WMP entirely.

It's a browse GUI thing. I tend to think "hmm, what do I want to listen to next" rather than know exactly which artist or album I want. Then scan through my collection until I go "ah yes, that one". When I do the same with JRiver in Artist/Album view, the order is indeed correct but, unlike WMP, there is no marker for when one artist ends and another begins. I would be content (I think) with a thumbnail with "Artist Name" between each Artist listing if a line feed between Artists was a pain.

WMP does this as per:

Thanks for the suggestion in the earlier post to Request a Feature (which I only found just now).Thanks for your consideration.

[Buldarged]

I would like to propose a feature request for adaptive depth in views. What do I mean with that? I have following problem:

My Audiobooks are currently categorized like this:
Genre --> Series --> Album

E.g.
Fantasy --> Lord of the Rings --> 1 - The Fellowship of the Ring
Fantasy --> Lord of the Rings --> 2 - The Two Towers
...

However, in some cases this kind of categorization is suboptimal and I would need a categorization scheme like this:
Genre --> Universe --> Series --> Album
(Universe is my term for franchise)

E.g.
Sci-Fi --> Star Wars --> The Old Republic --> 1 - Fatal Alliance
Sci-Fi --> Star Wars --> The Old Republic --> 2 - Deceived
...
Sci-Fi --> Star Wars --> Thrawn Trilogy --> 1 - Heir to the Empire
Sci-Fi --> Star Wars --> Thrawn Trilogy --> 2 - Dark Force Rising
...

Well currently you have three options:
- Make two views
- Use the second scheme with the universe category in which case you have to do an empty descend step for all audiobooks without universe
- Flatten all the audiobooks with a universe into a three level tree (Universe becomes Series and Album becomes the concatenation of Series and Album)

The last options is what I currently use, since I think it is the best option. However, since these universes tend to get bigger and bigger as time moves on and as I complete my collection, this makes more and more problems. E.g. the Perry Rhodan universe has 1000+ audiobooks. If i owned them all, the according view would have 1000+ entries.

This is also not the only place where I have this problem. E.g. in movies I have a similar problem.
Many movies are standalone and do not belong to a series or even a universe. Some are part of a series. Some are part of a series and a universe. And some are standalones in a universe.
E.g
Standalone:                        Inception
Series:                               Pirates of The Caribbean --> 1,2, ...
Universe + Series:               Marvel                          --> X-Men     --> 1,2, ...
Universe + Standalone:        Marvel                          --> Venom

A standalone movie only needs a view with depth 1, while a movie that is part of a universe and a series needs three levels of depth.

The fix this problem I would like the views to behave adaptive depending on if a tag is empty or not. When adding a category in a view there should be a checkbox "Skip if empty", which does exactly what it says.

E.g. lets say we have the view
[Universe] --> [Series] --> Movie                         (where the square brackets indicate optional (=skipped) categories)

This view would display all universes + all series without universes + all movies without series and without universes in the top level.
It would look like this:
- Inception
- Pirates of the Caribbean
- Marvel

The first entry would directly start the movie ("" --> "" --> Inception). The second entry would show the series subview ("" --> "Pirates of the Caribbean). The last entry
would show the universe subview (Marvel).

From the point of view of a user that would make MC not more complex (only one additional checkbox in a rarely visited submenu), but much more versatile and also more natural to use.

[RoderickGI]

An easy request to make sorting in Views easier to manage:

When setting up or viewing a custom sort, please make the dialogue box wide enough to show the longest standard or custom fields being shown, as well as the direction of the sort, ascending or descending (a-z or z-a). Perhaps make the dialogue box adjustable, or make it automatically as wide as the widest field it is showing. Currently, I have to look at the column header to see if a sort if ascending or descending, which sometimes means temporarily adding the field to a column if it isn't already there, or moving it so can see it when managing sort order Presets.

See attached image.
My custom "Album Artist (auto)" sort (Yellow) is ascending, but when I view the Preset definition I can't see that (Red). I can see it in the column header (Green).

Done

[Gretschguy]

I'm having trouble with re-sync on Handheld Sync on MC25 on Mac, I'm hoping that MC26 will address this issue. 

JRiver wants to re-sync ALL my song files each time I want to update the device with new songs -- If I go forward with the resync it will add a second copy of every song that is already there and will append the name with (1). 

Therefore I have to completely erase the device and fully re-sync my handheld whenever I want to update the device.  This complete re-sync takes hours since my device holds 500GB (FiiO M11 with external card).

I've seen some posts about this issue and it apparently has to do with special characters in the audio path.   The workaround is quite messy and involves removing special characters, I feel that this should unnecessary and JRiver should be able to handle the range of the Mac characters that are allowed in a pathname.

Please let me know if there are plans to address this issue.
Thanks!

[Moe]

Buldarged, I think I can help you with what you are trying to do.  I sent you a PM so that we don't muddy the waters of this thread.

[Ashfall]

I'd love to see these display settings split as shown below.  I'm in the US, and my plasma display handles 25p video the same as it would 24p, treating it as film and displaying it at 25p.  But it won't do the same for 50i or 50p.  I have some 25p and some 50i video in my library, so splitting 25/50 into two settings would allow me to better control how each is displayed.

[Marty3d]

I would love to be able to disable/remove Burn and Rip disc options in Action window. I haven't had a physical disc drive since the early '00 so these options are just in the way. It would be perfect to be able to disable it in Options > CD, DVD, BD

Done

[Marty3d]

Oh, and another: Being able to use forward slashes when exporting playlists in Handheld sync. This would increase Android compability since version 10 implemented a more strict policy (basically just ignoring everything with backslashes ).

sci-fi     Star Wars     Old Republic   (book name)

Not sure if that is what your trying to do or not.
And I'm still sorting things out.

Adding "Fill Track numbers from List order" to the Customise Toolbar options is excellent.

Another that would be an excellent shortcut is to be able to go

in the same way, or via an F key (are there any available?).

Hello, I have 3 requests:

1. I would like "view audio mode" to be  a pure audio mode, where only audio files can be loaded in the playlist (no pictures, no m3u files, no videos - I haven't selected them in JRiver's supported files, but they still add themselves in the playlist).

2. I would like to be able to lock JRiver's position on the screen when it is not maximized, because many times I try to move the progress bar and accidentally I move the JRiver beyond the edges of the screen, or under under windows.

3. I would like some customization of the sox filter.

Thank you.
