31.0.87 is the latest build of MC31:  https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,137519.0.html

This topic has been moved to JRiver Media Center 31 for Windows.

I use JRiver primarily to listen to online Radio.   Often many hours a day.   Late in the day I have to listen via headphones and for quite some time this is broken on my machine.  If I attempt to listen to the same radio station that I was playing on speakers I get what I would call "infinite reverb" where the sound repeating in a loop and its unlistenable.  I have to switch to the web player to listen.  Same behavior on all stations.  Running 31.0.07 on Windows 11 with all windooz updates applied (i.e. up to date).  As I said the same thing happens with previous (29 etc) as well.

Any workaround?   Known bug?
 

Yep, caching definitely an option. Atime is not enabled.

Some NAS allow adding an SSD as a Cache drive, speeding it immensely. On other models, investigate if you can disable ATIME (last-accessed timestamp) as that triggers writes to the disk whenever a folder is read. Disabling it can speed it up a bit.

You can also consider adding a 3rd Mini-PC to your system to act as the MC Server, and connect both this PC and the NAS to the switch/router via ethernet cables. Your laptop would then be an MC client.

It turned out that only the first few episodes had this issue. When I used variable frame rate (set to 23.976), the problem was resolved.

Can anyone tell me if these are possible in current releases or if they can be added as future enhancements.

• Saving subtitles to remote locations.  Maybe the option to browse for the remote file if on same intranet or store file to be synced to remote location.
• When using Get Movie and TV Info, default to always get subtitle. Have ability to set language or file type and best match selected automatically
• Get subtitles for multiple file Get movie and TV lookups.  Same options as in #2
• Choose subtitles in JRemote.  I don’t see the open to select subtitles.  Info button only shows playback speed.  Also would like the option to get subtitles if not available

Thanks

JRemote already offers the ability to select subtitles (and much else besides). In the top level version of JRemote's left hand menu panel (the one with the Settings cogwheel at the top), select the Remote icon. The centre of the JRemote screen then becomes a touch pad. If you swipe upwards you will activate the On Screen Display (OSD) on the monitor or television where the video is playing. Further swipes will take you up or down all the levels of the OSD. 

Maybe a silly question but I searched for an answer a number of ways and can't find a resolution. When I copy over pictures from my IPhone to Windows 11 it appears JRiver is using the Last Modified Date instead of Date Taken. Nowhere in the tags in JRiver can I even see the "Date Taken" tag - yet Windows 11 and the Microsoft Photos App clearly show this field and use it. This is very annoying as I have separate directories for different sources (each camera is a directory) and then want to use the Image Dates view to merge all the photos from different cameras together into a coherent timeline. Seems obvious that the date the picture is taken is clearly how to most people would want to view their photos so surprised I'm not seeing this tag. BTW, the photos off the IPhone are in the HEIC format.

Any guidance you can provide would be appreciated.

I use a laptop most of the time so direct attached storage is not ideal. I need to get the library updates happening locally on the NAS. I'm interested to know what people recommend in that regard. I have options of a VM, Docker, or a NAS app (if there is one already for QNAP?). If I went VM is it better to run Windows or Linux? I already have both Ubuntu and Win 11 VMs up.

My Auto-Imports shrunk to around 1-2 minutes, depending on how many tracks I’ve added to the 291K files in my library, once I upgraded to SSDs in a Thunderbolt 3 enclosure directly connected to my computer.
