Hi, having spent a lot of time on this now, reading/searching/ more trial/error....I hope someone can poiitn me in the right direction
My case:
I have installed the latest MC on docker in my QNAP , 33.0.61.
I have two zones/players, the default 'player' and my 'denon-avr'
From jriver webpage, selecting a track/album from a lribrary and I can play to both 'player' and ''denon-avr'
However, from an external streamer, I can play to jriver but it always plays on 'player' and I want it to play on 'denon-avr'
I cannot find any option to set a default audio-device/renderer
I tried setting up a zoneswitch but whatever I enter as a rule in 'engage', it always ends-up with the 'player'
The zoneswitch is now:
- Engage: [Media Type]=[Audio]
- Play in this zone: 'denon-avr'
- stop playing in... : 'player'

As I have not yet acquired jriver, this being a test for exactly the above, could it be that zoneswitch is not part of a non-licensed setup?

So can you be more specific about what "external streamer" you're using and how it communicates with JRiver?  Generally, when I look at a JRiver instance on the network I can see the zones independently and choose one to play to; is it possible that your streamer is just set to stream to the Player zone?  You shouldn't need Zoneswitch for this, but it sounds like your streamer may be idiosyncratic.

Also what happens if you manually select the denon zone on the server and then start playback from the external streamer?  Does it switch zones to Player on it's own?
