Is it possible for someone to repair the Purity Skin? The section for Cloudplay is completely unreadable. This issue only occurs with this skin.

Hello, I appreciate your thoughs on ways to configure JRiver and/or windows in order do accomplish the best possible signal to my projector.

I currently have windows setup as 4:4:4 12bit 23hz, so that I can fully benefit from Jrivers chroma upscaling capabilities - this works just fine for the vast majority of the movies which are 24fps. When I play the (rare) movies which are 60fps, JRiver/Windows changes the HDMI output signal to 4:4:4 8bit 60hz, so I am losing the 10bit resolution from the original UHD-HDR files.

Please, does anybody know if it would it be possible to have a different configuration for 60fps(60hz)? I would like for the system to change to 4:2:2 12bit 60hz instead of keeping 4:4:4 and reducing bit depth to 8.

No need to install an old version.  You just need the old license.

If both computers are the same OS family (Windows or Mac, for instance), a Master License isn't needed.

Please follow the instructions in the first post.

I'm a VLSI developer, not a software guy, but I went googling around for interesting tidbits.  I found the topic being discussed on github for the FireBase software development kit...  Bob is no doubt already aware of all of this!

SCNetworkReachability API deprecations (March 2024)
https://github.com/firebase/firebase-ios-sdk/issues/12593

At WWDC18, Apple teased the end of reachability by asking everyone to move to NWPathMonitor. Here is the video that will be helpful to identify the replacement that's been around for a while.

Try setting the screensaver to black screen and disable the screen sleep in Windows. It's not ideal as the screen stays powered on, but it works. On my LG TV I can turn the image off while keeping the sound, so I sometimes do that.
Adding a PCIe/USB sound card should also work, as you mention.

An HDMI dongle doesn't help because the audio is still going via the other HDMI output, which still gets put to sleep.

Ok I used to fix this somehow changing something in game optimiser in lg setting and also nvidia panel, I used to use diable gsync and also activating oled moiton pro...and then it was fixed...so when I set picturemode to filmaker it would stay on filmmaker all the time...weather I play a movie in jriver or vlc or not. there is some setting combination that fixed this earlier. but I seam to not find it out now or it does not work anymore.

This could be a system problem and yet again a new fresh installation of windows is needed.

Thanks! I thought I had made sure the focus was on the right tab but apparently not:<(  Works just fine.

I love the product and want to upgrade. My most recent version is MC25 and I admit I struggled with the instructions. i just hope I can ask some basic questions as I attempt the upgrade. 1) I believe I need to upgrade to a master licence to use on 2 laptops? Is this correct/ if so it may explain why I could never add MC25 to a new laptop.

if so no problem I'll upgrade to Master Licence. I just restored my licence but this is the newer laptop it was never working on. I'm already confused about if I need to install old version MC25 or new MC32.

To be clear I have MC25 working fine on one laptop, I would like to have MC32 on 2 laptops. I am not computer savvy so in basic form what steps do I need to take to complete this upgrade. I thank you for your patience.

Speaking from experience, playback from non-physical media devices, when configured correctly, will supply exactly the same bits to your TV/Receiver/Stereo as your physical disc player will depending on your rips.

It comes down to how you configure playback and whether you have enough raw storage to store full quality rips of your discs or if you transcode to save on storage space.

If you want Atmos or DTS:X from your video disc rips, you want to ensure bit streaming is enabled. This is possible in MC, of course. For any other format, be it True HD 5.1/2.0 or non-object based, you can let MC transcode that for you with 0 loss in quality.

From a VIDEO output issue, this is where you will have to decide the approach you want to take.

If you care about Dolby Vision and the Dolby Vision icon popping up on your TV when you have a DV capable video, then you would need to invest in one of a very, very small hand full of Android players that can do full enhancement layer DV playback (I can provide more detail if you really care).

Most other Android TV devices can sort of read the DV values, but don't offer the dynamic HDR values or 12-bit color that DV brings to the table (this is as I understand it; if MC does have access to the full dynamic DV values and the 12-bit color information, please feel free to correct my misunderstanding).
You would also need to find something other than MC for Android to do this, as the MC Android client does not seem to have an ability to playback the DV layers (happyu for someone from JRiver to provide evidence if this does actually work as it would change my personal approach).

If you want DV without having the disc, SOME UHD players can be used to playback files from a USB stick or drive, but the requirements to make this work are stupidly ridiculous because of limitations on playback of these files from USB or network. I do not recommend this method as it is a super huge PITA but some people prefer it, so be aware it IS an option.


If you don't care about DV and the DV icon popping on your TV and are happy with "just" HDR10/10+, then MC using the HDR10 layer from a DV file or from a native HDR encode, will provide some pretty amazing results and can do from modest hardware.

If you have the money for the Magnetar and have a use for everything it brings to the table, then by all means, buy that and enjoy.


I personally love my unRAID server full of original quality rips I have made from my personal physical media collection, streamed to my TV without needing to hunt for a disc or deal with menus and disc restrictions that force me to watch things like FBI warnings.

Start playing to the device while on home wifi, then leaving the wifi range, and JRemote continuing to work?

That transition in connectivity (from your home wifi to the cellular network) would no doubt then require JRemote to switch what IP address it is using to reach your running MC server.  Perhaps iOS / iPadOS provides some sort of trigger for applications to be notified when such a networking change has occurred?  Otherwise, I've no idea how JRemote would even "know" something has changed.

It seems like such a "networking has changed" trigger is currently absent from JRemote?
