SACD from Win11 JRiver server to MacOS JRiver client always plays first track

SACD playback should be flawless on an enthusiast media player like jriver since it isn't too much of an obscure format anymore and more and more people have equipment capable of playing it.

Like I said, it works either way for me.
We'd need to figure out what you are doing differently.
LilyAarseth:
To clarify;
I use a m1 mac mini most of the day when I am not playing games on my windows 11 pc, i run media center as a server on a third computer that runs windows 10, headless
I connect to the windows 10 pc's library via remote library on my mac like i have many years now, aside from some minor shortcomings like not being able to add album art, this in combination with gigabit ethernet feels like MC and the files are local.
But now that I can play DSD after an upgrade to my system, a couple of SACD ISOs I had laying around only plays the beginning of the CD as if it was one big file and whatever track i try to play from it, it starts from the beginning of the cd aka track 1 no matter how much i try. Maybe if you insist this isn't a bug, I request the ability to split SACD ISOs into DSF files in future releases of MC which would make things easier in the long run.
I really wish there was an alternative way of getting DSF files instead of third party software that are gatekeeped behind extensive computer knownledge and understanding

I'm not saying that wouldn't be a bug.
I AM saying I can't reproduce the behavior.
On my system, trying to duplicate your setup, I don't get the same results.
In the screen shot below, I've connected my M1 to a Win10 PC with media network (selecting donnas-PC (Library Server))
Playing a SACD ISO on the Mac. Tracks transition as expected. Here you can see it playing the second track.
I'm playing to my Mac. Are you playing to something other than your Mac or attached USB DAC?

Edit: I should have chosen a different album! The track transitions but not the audio. Checking into it.

Huh, I see.
I'm playing to a DAC directly connected through one of the two usb ports of the mac mini with DoP, exclusive and integer enabled. To make sure there is no confusion, i can doubleclick on any of the tracks of the ISO and waveform loads and everything but the audio always start at the start of the ISO, track 1 even if i play track 2 or 10.
