MikeO:
What did I start ?

I have a large , 5000 Album collection, and a smaller video collection, but when it comes down to watching on goes Netflix

I haven’t quite got to using only Tidal but it’s close

I have often considered creating that green milk crate and trimming my library into core and non core. I am not sure I could go as far as deleting stuff but really do I need 27 full sets of Beethoven Piano Sonatas?

If I want a specific performer it’s 99% chance it’s in Tidal

My wife complains the whole system is too complex, we have a media streamer with Netflix and Tidal buttons that’s all she wants !!

I know it’s contentious but streaming is the future . It really is time MC catered for this trend. I find myself more and more in Roon because Tidal is so easy to access.

My rant over

JimH:
As Mark Twain said, "The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated."

Thanks for your concern.

darky:
streaming of music can be the future, but there needs to be done a lot for movies to be of good quality.
( I use jmc for my movie collection mainly/music is a nice extra)

And I need a hobby :D  streaming services only will be boring.

I am having a similar struggle with my video sources.  I have ripped my audio and video to the PC, as well I have a TV tuner, so I can get my ripped audio/video and over the air TV via MC25.  However, now I have a Roku as well as Smart TV's apps for Amazon Prime, Netflix, Hulu, Disney +, etc. 

Would be nice to see these streaming services integrated into Media Center, but understand this may not be practical. 

That said, I am going to try as suggested above to pass the audio from the streaming service through MC using WDM by streaming on the PC within a browser vice using the Roku or Smart TV apps.  The purpose of routing the audio through MC is to be able to use the DSP filters within MC and the video would be passed directly to the TV.

I'm new to JRiver, and this is the way I seem to be setting it up - streaming on a browser, video passed on, audio through JRiver via WDM and the DSP filters. Only difference is I am passing video to an external 24" monitor not TV, that I plan to upgrade to twice the size gaming monitor (so I can use it for computer needs, and for Video (don't do gaming though), so then we sit like 6 feet from it, no more, to watch Netflix or DVD. Ripped our CDs and play audio from JRiver. DVDs collection still hard copy, some favorites we replay like James Bond series, by popping in to computer player.
