Jim,
I don't manage to control my Popcorn Hour C200 with MC (build 137).
I have updated the firmaware of my Popcorn.
I can use MC as a DLNA server though. I can see and play all the playlist/smartlist I set up in MC on my PCH C200.
In brief, MC works well as a server but not as a controller.
I want to play (stream) my music which is on my laptop PC to the PCH C200 (DLNA renderer) with MC (DLNA controller).
Laptop (with MC) == Wifi ==> PCH C200 == Optical ==> Audio Receiver ==> Loudspeaker
I understand that this configuration is possible with DLNA technology. Could you please confirm. Thanks.
I was finally able to control my Popcorn C200 with Media Center.
For that, I upgraded to MC15 and updated the firmware on my Popcorn.
I experience some lag (about 5 seconds) when I click on play (or next song) which I think is quite long yet acceptable.
What I think less acceptable is when one song finished, the following on my playlist starts after 5 seconds as well.
Is there any way for the buffer to start a few seconds before one song ends in order to have no gap between songs?
Otherwise, I can pause and play again with no lag at all.
The capability to play to multiple zones / devices at the same time is very nice. Now I can play music on my home theater system for my girlfriend when I listen to my own music on my pc with my headspeakers. Very cool indeed
Well, except for the lag between the songs I'm satisfied with the dlna/upnp capabilities of MC. Thank you very much to JRiver team.
Request for JRiver team (yes, one more) : could you make a webOS application for my Palm Pre? Like this, my smartphone can control my PC, which in its turn can control my media box which is connected to my home theater sound system. Wooooah!!!
