Devices > JRiver Id -- Hardware by JRiver

Two quick questions about the Id. . . .

(1/1)

Spike1000:
If I use the Id as a DLNA Renderer to a Windows based MC20 will HLS radio streams play on the Id? (they are not supported on the hardware renderers I have  :-[ ).

Is there a form of remote console access to the iD (RDP or VNC or similar) I really don't want to have to connect it to a screen and keyboard once it's installed and I'm sure  it'll need a bit of human input at some point. . .

Cheers

Spike

I'm not an expert on HLS but if you have a URL, I'll try it.

There isn't a remote console access at this time. There is a bit of a catch22 here since running in headless mode runs mediacenter in a mode where it never displays a user interface and running in GUI mode, at least until very recently, required the attachment of a monitor anyway because of HDMI initialization.

Many thanks Bob for looking into this.
These are the sort of HLS streams I'm wanting to play:

http://a.files.bbci.co.uk/media/live/manifesto/audio/simulcast/hls/nonuk/sbr_low/llnw/bbc_6music.m3u8
http://a.files.bbci.co.uk/media/live/manifesto/audio/simulcast/hls/uk/sbr_med/llnw/bbc_6music.m3u8

They are BBC radio streams, the first 2 should play outside the UK, the third is geographically locked to the UK only I believe (I'm assuming you're outside the UK  ;) )

Ok, I understand, no problem. Could I just put windows on an NUC and install another copy of MC, would that work the same as an Id if used as a renderer? It'd need a Windows license and regular windows patching which is a bit of a pain. And to be honest I'm not entirely sure of the technical difference between an Id and a windows MC running as DNLA renderer.

Cheers
