Quick start guide for installing JRiver Mediacenter 21 ARM for Raspberry Pi

Sorry - I meant if I added a BT USB Adapter to the Pi (Axiom Air) that will then allow a phone to stream to the Audio Subsystem (ALSA??? if I've got that right).
Thanks
Nathan
Note: I can add a BT --> 3.5mm device easy enough to it's Analogue port but I thought the above would be "neater" if possible

It's entirely possible, but not using MC for the reasons I mentioned, if that makes sense. I've done very little tinkering with bluetooth on Linux, but I can try and take a hack later this week. I can't see any reason that it wouldn't work, and there's some promising instructions here: https://gist.github.com/joergschiller/1673341

Thanks - no rush. My son was using the Air at a party and some of the guests were trying to connect to it from their phones. I know that it is Volumio's list of ToDo but It's not there yet.

I've messed with this a bit previously and saw the article you linked.
It seems pretty flaky. I was hoping if we waited a while the support would get better...

There's also no guarantee that such a dongle would work particularly well with Linux at step one, whereas the VNC solution has been extensively tested.
So I would advise against using such a dongle on the Pi, but if you try it, I would be interested to hear how such a dongle works with Linux (just out of curiosity).

Thanks for your follow-up. The dongle works on the Pi, and in fact , has worked on any system that i have, for various reasons, tried it on. As for remote admin, I use Jump Desktop connecting to TightVNC. Jump Desktop connects to my Mini, 2 PCs, 3 Pis, a Ubuntu server, and a virtualized Win10 and a virtualized FreeNAS, both running under Ubuntu. Top shelf program; couldn't function without it.
Since I have your ear - it seems that Linux MC has no server? Is this true? Consequently, I run the MC server in the Win10 vm. MC runs and connects to my NAS without any problems. However, I can't connect to the MC server, running in the vm machine, from another MC. I use the access code that the MC server supplies and the MC client uses it to try to connect, but it can't find the MC server, although it seems to know its address. I can't positively confirm this since the message addressing this is truncated in the MC messagebox. Guest connecting to outside world - OK; outside world connecting to guest - not so much. I know it has to due with the fact that while my network ip is 192.168.0.xxx, the vm guests run on 192.168.122.xxx. This is recognized by the MC client, but it can't connect because it seems to be a different network. This can be addressed, but requires some research on my part.
I struggle with Linux, any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks
