MC29 Won't Connect
JimH:
Thanks for reporting what you found. Good to hear.
Edge is required to be able to play protected streaming content.
The TLS problem may be a product of Win7 being no longer supported. Security continues to evolve and get tighter. Microsoft no longer keeps Win7 up to date.

I don't think needing to change one setting that already exists in the original options of Windows 7 qualifies to make it outdated. Everything else works as it should once that change is applied.
Windows 7 still remains the smoothest & least bloated Windows OS and I'm not giving in to an upgrade yet. (Once I do I'll probably have to go Linux though)
JimH:
Yeah, well ...

I think Microsoft already made it "outdated" when extended support ended two years ago.

Be that as it may, you can't expect software developers/companies in general to keep supporting Windows 7, at some point they (and everyone else) needs to fact the truth that Windows 7 is a dead operating system that no longer receives security updates and it's time to move on. In fact, a lot of software (and more importantly drivers) has already dropped support for Windows 7 some time ago. So JRiver supporting Windows 7 for two additional years after Microsoft ended extended support was pretty generous if you ask me.
So, it might be time to consider your next move sooner than later, because running Windows 7 on anything is very insecure and if you have it connected to the internet, hopefully you're aware of the risks (which I don't think is worth it at all).

I don't expect anything from software developers. If they want to not support Windows 7 then just state it so that it's known. But MC still works perfectly fine in all other ways on Windows 7. Just because you decided to change the TLS version required to connect to your server without stating that fact anywhere, and not even making Administrators aware of the change so that they can offer troubleshooting suggestions to anyone affected by that, doesn't make Windows 7 suddenly incompatible. The needed setting was there in the OS to be changed, it just required the knowledge that the change was necessary. Seems like a very forward-looking design for a 13-year-old OS to me.
(And I still get monthly security updates. Weekly I think for Security Essentials definitions. So that's not a concern.)
