Hi,

I've been using JRiver for some time at home, first with Gizmo as a remote, recently with JRemote3 and it's working great. At home I'm using it to stream via DLNA to my streamer. Outside of local network I use JRemote as a bluetooth player in my car, it's a great app and it's working flawlessly!

Recently I bought JRiver for Android to use as Android Auto app, because when I use Android Auto (wireless), bluetooth connectivity to my phone is not available, it's used for Android Auto I guess.

When connected remotely to my local library (outside of my local network), JRiver for Android works great, but after some time (next day at the latest), when I start Android Auto, it defaults to local (empty) library on the phone. Then I have to go to settings and repeat the process of connecting to remote library. I have a large library so it also lasts couple of minutes, which is not a problem if I don't have to do it almost every time I want to use JRiver in my car.

Is there any way for you to enable an option to set remote library as default or enable option to delete local library so the only available library is the remote one, or anything else to solve this issue? Also, another way to solve this for me would be to enable JRemote3 as an Android Auto app, it just works and is much quicker because it doesn't have to load remote library, but I understand if that's not possible.

Thanks!

I'm using both JRemote3 and JRiver for Android in my car, and I don't see the problem you describe, but it's definitely possible.

My connection is wireless in the car, but I think that Bluetooth still works.

I wonder if the size of your library is a factor, and it's still loading, or it times out before it loads.  Could you test a smaller library?

I tried using Android Auto with bluetooth for audio, but it says that I can't use bluetooth while using wireless Android Auto.

Started JRiver for Android right now, I'm not in my car and not using Android Auto and it just starts with local library, loading time of a few seconds.

I can create a smaller library and try with that, but seems unlikely because it just starts with local library after some time regardless of loading time. If I set it up right now and start in a few hours it will load (after a few minutes) remote library without any problems, but if it's a longer period of time it defaults to local.

It should just load the last library used unless there is a problem loading.  In that case, it would then default to the local library.

Is it possible that the server is going to sleep?  Or that drives are slow to spin up?

Is the JRiver database located on a fast drive (SSD, for example)?  It should not be on a NAS.

Thank you for your answers!

Media server PC is always on, sleep/hibernate disabled. Drive is standard HDD, it's on media server PC, it spins up fast and power saving for HDD's (turn off after xx minutes) is turned off. JRiver media server service is always on, I use it for JRemote3, or panel outside of local network it always works without any problem.. Access is via Access key.

Should I try anyway with a smaller library?

Thanks!

Yes, to see if the load is timing out somehow.
