Greetings,
I would love to use Gizmo to control music playing on the dining room HTPC when we are sitting on the patio.
I used to do it when library was local to each PC, but things have evolved.
Since I cut the cord and went OTA, JRiver is my one stop shop for all my media needs: TV, movies, audio and photos, and the reason I purpose built a low power server always on. I have a JR Media Server computer powered on 24/365, and JR clients on HTPCs at each TV in the house.
Normally, I use a Harmony remote to control everything from the TV/HTPC I am currently at.
In order to add Gizmo to the equation, I suspect zones are a part of the solution but I never used them.
Can somebody explain briefly how to set up (in an all JRiver/Windows environment) :
- controller is Gizmo
- renderer is dining room HTPC (JR client) and its associated receiver and speakers
- library and media is on the JRiver Media Server
Everything is on the same subnet.
Cheers !
