Yes,already checked.
On the same computer,foobar2000 remote is OK using port 19372.
So ,I think the firewall is no problem.Maybe the MC17 need other setup?

mmote · « **Reply #51 on:** March 03, 2012, 06:21:10 am »

You can check if the server is up and running by opening a command prompt and entering 'netstat -a', it should show the configured port as 'listening'.
Since you mentioned foobar2000 - the foobar remote app is not compatible with the MC plugin, you'll need to use the other one.

Thank you mmote!

I use both foobar an jriver's plugin of monkeymote,both installed to the right directory.

I try the command "netstat -a" ,the port(19373) I use ,it shows "LISTENING" .

Weird!

mmote · « **Reply #53 on:** March 03, 2012, 09:00:00 am »

In case I wasn't quite clear, there are two different apps:
MonkeyMote Music Remote which supports MC, Winamp and AIMP
and
MonkeyMote 4 foobar2000 which only supports foobar2000.
If you wish to control MC, you need to use the first app, for foobar2000 you need to use the second one.

Hi mmote

Haha,I realized the mistake I made,it's exactly what you said.I use the wrong software on the IPOD touch,
'cause I thought monkeymote can remote MC too. Now I bought the monkeymote for MC,and everything is OK.

By the way,the monkeymote for foobar and MC is the same file name on the screen of IPOD,and the icons are much alike
with eachother.

Thank you very much.

Great app but I cannot find the "play to" feature like it exists on webgizmo. I use that feature to play the song either on my PC running JRiver, my iphone or even my denon AVR3312 that has DLNA and that is recognized by the Media Center.

Do you plan to add such feature soon?

mmote · « **Reply #56 on:** April 02, 2012, 09:56:20 am »

I'm currently not planning to add streaming functionality, sorry.

A dedicated iPad version is now available on the app store.

Hi MMote....

a couple of questions or things to look for...

First... I've installed the latest version about 1 week ago. Great stuff!! I love to have the covers!

First.... not sure if it is my setup or what but when JRiver reaches the end of an album (and stop playing the music) I cant reach the server anymore from my iPod. Config or bug?

Also, when browsing through the "Album" with the covers, if I try to go too quickly, the app simply "turns off" ie just like when I leave the app on my iPod. Maybe this is normal... dunno.

Any answers for me?

Thanks

Yo

What do you mean exactly? Do you get disconnected or does the server simply not react to commands anymore? Also, are you running MC 16 or 17?

That would be a crash, which shouldn't happen, of course. This only happens when scrolling very quickly?

Yosemithe · « **Reply #60 on:** September 07, 2012, 10:00:42 am »

I guess I can call it a disconnection. Example: I use MMote to pause an album because the phone rings (I know I should not answer but.!!!) and when coming back, I can't resume listening. I am still in MMote but nothing happens... the conection is gone. If the break is not too long, connection is still there and the app respond. After approx 1 minute, I get the "Connection attemp failed" popup. Even if I close the app and get back, I get the same message. I then have to get to the laptop to have the music resume and then the app starts responding without having to close it.

For the crash, it only happens when scrolling in albums (with the covers). It happens wether I am scrolling fast of slow but seems to be more prone when changing scrolling direction (when the album I am looking for just went by and I scroll the other way to get at it...).

I am using an older iPod 2G so... that could a performance issue with the iPod.

Thanks for your kind help.

Yosemithe · « **Reply #61 on:** September 08, 2012, 07:05:53 pm »

Forgot to mention... I am using MC17.

mmote · « **Reply #62 on:** September 09, 2012, 09:31:11 am »

Are you using the latest plugin version? If not, please update and see if that resolves the connection issue.

Yosemithe · « **Reply #63 on:** September 10, 2012, 03:57:28 pm »

I've installed the plug-in available on the web site. Will make some test but... What I got from now:

Opened JRiver and did not start any music. Opened MMote and it connected quickly. I had an album to play and paused the song. After a minute or so (short time)... when trying to resume, it would not connect anymore. The popup message is:

Connection attempt failer. Please review your connection and/or network settings.

When clicking "Ok", it brings me back to the "Connections" window. I click on the "server" to get reconnected and then I get this popup message:

Connection rejected by server. Pls make sure that your audio player is running and another remote isn't already connected.

I can garantee that no other remotes are connected (only my iPod has the apps!).

Once again... thks for your help!

What did you do in the meantime? Just leave the app running? Lock the iPod?

ogi · « **Reply #66 on:** October 12, 2012, 03:18:14 pm »

I use the full iphone version with jriver mc16 & winxp. if i added some new songs to my current playlist with enqueue button, the current playlist is not refreshed until i go back to connections page in the monkeymote program. i can not see the new added songs in my playlist. What can be the reason of this problem? thanks for your helps.

Sorry for being so late responding. I am kind of busy lately!!! I sincerely don't remember... I'll do the tests again and come up with more details.

Once again, I really appreciate your time!

Hello,
I use the Ipad version, (just baught it because the last version of Myriver freeze JRiver after a few minutes...) and I have the same problem than another user (don't remember your name, sorry), the current playlist is not refreshed until i go back to connections page in the monkeymote program.

Except this problem, I think your app. is the best one...

Thanks...

mmote · « **Reply #69 on:** November 07, 2012, 07:30:04 am »

I'll look into it.

mmote · « **Reply #70 on:** November 07, 2012, 07:27:13 pm »

Looks like Media Center does not notify plug-ins about playlist changes, contrary to the documentation.
I implemented a workaround, please install the new plug-in version and see if that resolves the issue for you.

Poulou · « **Reply #71 on:** November 08, 2012, 01:35:20 pm »

I'm testing the new release of your plugin for half an hour, and the playlist is refreshed without any problem !!! fantastic
Thanks

Cannot install the latest version 1.3.4. It shows error message. Even uninstall monkeymote 1.3.3, the 1.3.4 still cannot be installed. I ran Windows 8.

mmote · « **Reply #73 on:** December 14, 2012, 08:53:18 am »

And if I click skip, it will show successful installation. But when I open JRiver, the version of Monkeymote is still 1.3.3.

mmote · « **Reply #75 on:** December 15, 2012, 12:20:15 pm »

Did you exit Media Center before trying to install the plugin?

Thanks, mmote. I exit Media Center and use system administrator to install the plug-in. It worked.

Porting the app to android would basically mean rewriting it from scratch. That's just not feasible for me, sorry

Afrosheen · « **Reply #79 on:** April 01, 2013, 06:46:23 pm »

What about for J-Mac?

mmote · « **Reply #80 on:** April 01, 2013, 07:07:51 pm »

What's that?

uncola · « **Reply #81 on:** April 02, 2013, 08:12:17 pm »

I think he means the mac os x version of jriver. I'd also like an android port. Take my money

mmote · « **Reply #82 on:** April 03, 2013, 07:18:36 am »

That would depend on whether or not the Mac version supports plug-ins.

Poulou · « **Reply #83 on:** July 03, 2013, 04:35:40 am »

Hi, I have a problem with the new Ipad version. When I try to add only one track to the current playlist, the app shut down. When I add an album it works...
Thanks

mmote · « **Reply #84 on:** July 03, 2013, 04:52:42 am »

That's a know bug that unfortunately got introduced with the last app update. A fix has already been submitted and should hopefully become available very soon.

Did you upgrade JRiver from a previous version? Sometimes stuff gets left behind in the registry.
