Hi folks,
I've re-installed my HTPC and decided to give JRiver a try, since it's getting a lot of good feedback on AVS forums.
My initial impressions are somewhat mixed, and I'm still nowhere near having a HTPC setup with JRiver. So let me ask first, because I couldn't find it, is there an install guide for JRiver as a HTPC front-end?
The install process is fairly simple and fool proof, but the setup seems to have endless options. Ideally I'd like to have something as close as Media Browser on 7MC as possible.
So here are my initial questions:
1) How do I get my library to look like the Media Browser one? JRiver picked up my files and created a library, but it's almost 10000 video files, instead of TV Show > Season > Episode type of thing. Same goes for Movies and other videos (music, sports etc)
2) How do you change the aspect ratio, for example for watching old 4:3 videos on 16:9 screen
3) How do you switch audio streams and subtitles, for example when playing Anime to switch to Japanese language and English subtitles
4) How do you get rid of the trial splash screen at startup, or how do you confirm it using a remote? I have to get up off the sofa and use the mouse to click "continue" when the HTPC boots.
I'm sure there will be plenty more, but this should be enough to get me started and see if the solution is wife-proof
