Hey guys, Robert from JRemote here.
I have been on vacation for the last month, so sorry about not being active on the forum.
From now on I will be handling this new board for all remote apps related to JRiver.
Please post any new questions and comments regarding JRemote, Gizmo and other third party remotes in this new forum area. These kind of threads are currently spread out all over the place, so the idea is to get them all in a centralized location.
All existing threads related to remotes will eventually be moved over here.
I am currently working on a few sticky threads for basic setup, connection issues and commonly asked questions.
Anyway, I would also like to take this opportunity to properly introduce myself now that I am part of the JRiver team. I am actually in Minneapolis visiting the guys right at this moment.
First I`d like to say that I am really happy to be in this position where I get to work closely with such talented guys.
A few words about myself. I am 37 years old and live in Norway, Europe. I live with my girlfriend and 4 year old boy just outside of Oslo.
For the last 20 years I have worked mainly on Web development using .NET and SQL servers.
However, through those years I have done a lot of other stuff including 3D, Video, Design and more recently, App development.
I consider myself a right/left brain kind of guy. I am not the most hardcore programmer, but I am equally interested in design and UX.
Initially at JRiver I will continue working on JRemote for iOS as well as the Android app.
The Android app may be rewritten from scratch, but that has not really been decided yet.
In addition I would like to look at branding, skins etc. related to presentation.
Jim is pushing me to learn C++ so that I can contribute on the Media Center code. I have started
learning the language. So yeah, that might be a bigger part of my job later on.
