i am aware. not EVERYONE will have same problems as i do, and don't expect the usual repliers to always reply. But someone has to have same problems as i do. Statistically it just has to be so.
And if not. i would think these are legitimate concerns.
afterall, I'm not coming here and asking hi could you tell me how to play a song in jirver? where is the power button? where do i find my music?
Ive been along time user. i fix pc's on the side. i believe in the geek oath(my, and personal friends oath)... of researching yourself, asking google before wasting others valuable time. (Prove you have tried something, before whining or asking questions.)
These topics i start are genuine, and problems i have researched to exhaustion before posting.
So.... Is WHAT possible? Just one thing at a time...
Glynor come on now please.

what i dont understand is if 15 has been working flawlessly, how can it just stops working on droid phone?
the keys are still the same on server 15 and droid.
is jriver server like a cloud thing? i noticed in another post you guys were having problems with your server today, why would that effect us users who are on home networks? once jriver server key is set and droid key is set? i dont understand how\why i would loose connection/ my home access key?
and if this is cloud based. then that means you guys would have full access to our libraries... someone please elaborate
this thread started out as a issue, and i have asked this exact question 5-6 times in other posts since, i have asked this question in this thread we are on and still no answer!
again... in jriver 15, NEVER EVER did it say attempting to connect, NEVER EVER did it say accessing key on android or clients up until the day i posted issue. « on: May 05, 2011, 03:18:22 pm »
in order for us jriver users to use jriver server,dlna etc.. does jriver 15 - 16 NOW call jrivers servers at head quarters?
if so, how come?
Does anyone else see a problem with this?
if 15 always connected at home network or outside network before above post (can anyone with new version of 16 .81 confirm library server works?)
( and ive not changed any settings on any machines any routers) why am i being told to read the wiki's? It's been known for yrs. check your ports, check windows firewall, make sure access key is registered. (I've not touched this stuff) (I was told to check all those things again, and i did as i was told, and nothing was wrong! Then hours later i get a email topic notification, saying jrivers servers were down, they were having problems.
why are people saying jriver had issues that day? what does that have to do with me being at home with my family and wanting to watch a movie like we always have. why do my clients have to attempt to connect? they should just connect this is my network! Correct?
that post i started, that post never got answered, i got swept under the rug, after tweaking/troubleshooting for 6hours that day. I got frustrated, i gave up. and life went on. I have since then installed newer versions of 16 to see if issue was fixed, and asked about it again. To me this was/is a legitimate post.
to sum this up, Had i gotten an answer if jriver calls home to jriver servers (there headquarters) then that would have saved/does save me time. that should tell me DO NOT TOUCH ANY OF YOUR SETTINGS. it's not you chris. it's them! by doing so. i dont mess up what is setup correctly! But until i get answer then me beingme.. i will troubleshoot till i'm blue in the face. and as jmone mentions make myself nuts.
AND NOW my new issue... i installed 16 had issues as spoke about above (vids not being able to be played on clients) i turned off 16 last night because friends were over and knew they would want to listen to music VIDEOS, so i opened jriver 15. ALL thumbnails EMPTY (this has happened before) so i do some quick thinking. ok lets try jriver 16. it's auto imported all files all thumbs work, music works (just videos won't play on clients) at least i will have some music, and we could watch music videos on server from 16. THOSE THUMBNAILS were empty as well!
SO i re-open JRiver 15. and think maybe i can get away with AT LEAST being able to play music while guests are here, i'll just choose a genre and let it play.. NOPE lockups because no thumbnails were built. so i turn on the trusty satellite dish, and play a music channel. and i begin a auto import. I wake up this morning and it says jriver 15 auto import complete. i open jriver chose a audio playlist to listen to for todays work. and all my files are X'd out. i go to my computer in windows 7. all drives in tact. i go inside folders in drives, all files in tact. i then open jriver 15 again and chose auto import. now it is Adding files to library...it's at 20456. i've had one runtime error so far. And from experince. i KNOW i will be down for about 3 days again. because it has to rebuild over a Million files. and i will have on average 10-20 runtime errors from jriver until she completes in her entirity.
I'm tired of being told i'm complaining. I'm not complaining. but cut me some slack. i'm not coming here asking questions for the first time. these are ongoing issues. search forum for my posts about thumbnails/lost libraries/having to rebuild. this has happened to me many times through the versions. yeah.. not all people are music/video geek collectors like myself.
and most likelly dont have the size libraries that i do.. But i tell you what. HDD's are getting cheaper (AND LARGER 3 TERA on one drive), record/movie labels are moving to HDD based/streaming... peoples libraries will grow. And if it takes me 2-3 days to rebuild my libraries i can assume others will have same time frame/problems as well. If not. then someone enlighten me what might be my problem on why i lost thumbs again and my library, and why my whole house is down again with no media being able to be played!
I THINK i know what may have happened in this case.. By having jriver 15 installed. then installing 16 and running an auto import, and being 16 took 15's settings., i'm assuming when i auto imported with 16 it wiped out all thumbnails in reg location for 15, but then once i relaized 16 wouldnt play videos, and i had imported new files that were not on 15, i did a auto import on 16, and that wiped out all 15 thumbnails. then when i was in 15 and chose auto import that wiped out 16's thumbnails. leaving me with no thumbnails.) this is just a guess. but i'm not for sure.
I'm late for my business meeting.
And yes i ranted again. i just want you to see what i'm going through here.
As it sits. i have people coming over tonight. jriver 15 is adding all files again. i hope the thumbnail auto import from last night sticks, and being i wont be home for hours, i hope she don't runtime error on me again. Adding file 39194 - 960,000 some files to go.
I do have remote desktop on droid. so i will login periodically, to see if there is any new runtime errors, if so re-open 15 and re-autoimport and let it pick up where she left off.
i love jriver.
i love the idea.
i love the support when i get it
but i want to just enjoy it!
Other questions i have i'll get to later. 16 for me has to be put on back burner. I need A working version of jriver i use it for showing clients our Goathead printing stuff ( i cannot afford to keep rebuilding/troubleshooting). and i will be needing it again on Monday.
i do hope my jriver cloud question gets answered, so i can UNDERSTAND what is going on, and what these connecting to accessing mean, and why it just doesnt work!
