If you get this working on the IPod Touch, I just might have to buy one

One other note, I assume you are currently working on this with MC12?  Make sure you test it out with MC13 beta and report any issues to the JRiver team.

I will personally guarantee it will work with the iPod Touch as I test on both an iPhone and iPod Touch.  I have been writing my code against 12 but ZXSIX also recommended getting on the BETA13 list but I have no idea what that entails??? I am new to JRiver but I love what I am seeing so far from both the application and API.  I will have screenshots for you guys by Friday....

It seems the XBMC camp now also has a remote app for Iphone/Ipod Touch, maybe good to get some inspiration from...

Don't worry mine will look very similar but completely tailored to the features of JRiver MC.

At that time, version 13 was closed beta and hush hush.
Now it's available for you under the new MC13 forum.  You're logged in and not a guest so you should be able to see it.  It's a post near the top that has the download link.
I'm running version 13 exclusively now and no longer use version 12 on my main computer.

Looking good to me.  Waiting for email from you for beta copy.  I have 2.1 firmware running on device now.

I will email you or PM you a BETA tonight!!! I just wanted to make sure it was pretty stable for BETA1 so it wouldn't waste your time crashing.  But I will definitely send you your first build tonight.  Also I have you as the only tester for now...just because i think early on its easier to get feedback from one power user than it is to get flooded from 5 or 10 people all wanting different things or seeing different bugs etc. 

[zxsix]

Cool.  I'm not going in to work tomorrow and will have time to play.  Good timing!

[Fred1]

Very  !

Can't wait to have it on my iPod.

[jeroen020]

Wow, those screenshots sure are promising!

[neFAST]

Can't wait to be beta tester #2

[Melloware]

zxsix and I are working through the bugs right now.  So far we have made GREAT progress and I will give an update on Monday on how things are going.  Or zxsix will post his review if he wants since he has been beta testing it.  I think you guys will be happy with the 1.0 product.

[Melloware]

Just thought you guys would like an update and more screenshots...

Sounds cool. It would be awesome if could price it just like iMonkey. Was just my 2 cents.

[Lasse_Lus]

can't find it in appstore...or how do i try it ?

This hasn't been posted to the AppStore yet.  Hopefully tonight or tomorrow but then it takes Apple at least 7 days to review an approve any applications before they appear in the AppStore.  I just wantedto keep everyone updated on progress....

[Lasse_Lus]

ok i see 

[Fred1]

Very, very cool!

Only the colorful buttons don't match the nice design.
It should not be impossible to find some fine photoshopped equivalents.

I knew someone would complain about the buttons!  Personally I like them because they are rounded and give you visual cue that Green means Play, Yellow means Pause, and Red means Stop.   If someone has nicer ones I would be more than happy to replace them!  I would need 32x32 and 64x64 PNG files....

[neFAST]

Do you have a psd version of your buttons?
Removing the colored bacground (and maybe the circle too) should be enough.

Thanks for your work on this.  Looks great.

Could you make sure you use the correct name of the product?

JRiver Media Center

JimH,

I will immediately correct this everywhere.  also I give credit in my readme.txt encouraging people to purchase MC and in the Info page of the iPhone app  I say "JRiver Media Center is Copyright 2008  2008, JRiver, Inc".  Is that OK with you?

I actually use this icon collection and it comes with tons of variations as you can see....

Thanks.  I don't think you should put our copyright there.  It's your software.  If you wanted to, you could say "Requires JRiver Media Center", but as long as your instructions and your web page say that, you probably don't need to say it on the screen.

[Melloware]

Thanks.  I don't think you should put our copyright there. 

OK I will pull it then.  I just didn't want to piss you guys off.  It's always tricky when writing code that controls someone else's software.

[neFAST]

Those gray icons would fit lovely on a black background? What do you think Fred1?

[melkiades]

Hi Mello,

I just read this whole thread after you emailed me the link and I must say I'm very impressed!
I will certainly purchase the app as soon as it's ready.

Guys, do you define a multi-zone system like this: the ability to play different music simultaneously in different rooms?
If yes, I don't want to troll this great thread but if you could point me towards threads or solutions to build this I'd really appreciate. 

I'm assuming that you are:

- adding one soundcard in your PC for each room
- connecting that soundcard to your amp
- wiring from your amp to each room

That must require an advanced amp with a lot of RCA inputs and a lot of Speaker outputs, mustn't it?

Another solution I was looking at is Cambridge Audio's multiroom system but it's really expensive.  Would Mello's app in conjunction with MC help reduce the overall cost of setting up an independent multiroom system by some other method?

Cheers,
Melkiades (Alain)

I don't play the same music in each room.  With pc soundcards it's near impossible to play each stream in sync with each other.  There will undoubtedly be some milliseconds of lag between each channel of speakers.
I use it to route music to different locations.
Zone 1 is desktop speakers
Zone 2 is SPDIF output to stereo in living room
Zone 3 drives an external amplifier feeding speakers by the pool
Zone 4 is soon to be added and will drive and external amplifier feeding speakers in the garage

I use a 7 channel sound card.
When you add a zone in MC, you define for each zone which set of outputs on the soundcard belong to that zone.
Player > Playback Options > Zone Manager is where you set them up.
Front L&R output goes to zone 1.
Rear L&R output goes to zone 3.
etc.
You can use multiple sound cards, either internal or USB.

RiverMote in store now

RiverMote in store now 

AWESOME!!!!   I will stand by my code and if there are any bugs I promise you I will work them out and once you buy an iPhone app once you get all future updates for free.  we can make this thing something special together as a community!

Special thanks to ZXSIX for testing efforts!

Melloware:
Thanks for making the app. It looks nice from the screenshots and the description.
Is there any chance you might release a demo version?

I didn't make a "Lite" version for RiverMote as it is a huge pain in the butt to manage both on the AppStore.  All I can say is ZXSIX tested it and he is as power JRiver user as their comes and he gave it his seal of approval.
