Good day
As my eyes become not good enough to read my small cell phone with either Jremote2 or Gizmo,i need to ask is there a Jremote2 or Gizmo or similar for windows?
i have a much larger windows tablet which would be ideal to use
Cheers

I really like JRemote on my iPad. I even tried JRemote2 on a Fire tablet and I much prefer the iPad version.
-
So no windows app?
-
You can use Panel or a web browser but they don't have the same look & feel of either JRemote app. You could actually run JRiver on a Windows tablet as I understand it.

Well, MO 4Media is available on Windows, but it's not straightforward to install and run it. And I'm not sure if it's been updated in awhile.

Otherwise running Media Center and using it as a client or using Panel are likely your only options.

Cheers mate
i may use Teamviewer to pc and do it that way.it is far from ideal
i think my grand kids have old Ipads,maybe too old for the Jremote2 or gizmo tho
-
I am using an iPad Air which is ~5 years old and JRemote works fine on it.

Cheers mate.i think their Ipads are about that or 6 years
Did you mean Jremote2? i assume you do?
My old eyes are not what they use to be,and i don`t want to spent a couple of hundred for a device for only 1 use
-
JRemote is for iOS devices. JRemote2 is for Android OS.

OOPz
Cheers for clarifying that mate
That likely saved me some future confusion lol
Is the the same app in that they would simultaneously be the same revisions/updated versions at the same time?
-
I don't think so. I hope the original JRemote continues to receive updates (it has up to this point) but the two are on a different development paths as best I can tell.
-
Cheers for that
I found this app (5 years old though and no more chat on it)
It runs in a browser window in windows and looks sweet as heck.No way i can suss it out tho lol

Check this out mate
It seems promising,simple enough for me as well lol
Says not a secure connection tho
What do you think of this?

Use port 52200 instead of 52199.
-
Is that a setting somewhere in windows 10?
Will it be faster? Because man this is painfully slow lol

Why not use MC itself as a client. In TheaterView..

Hmm good thinking
Do you mean from one of my remote devices Ie cell phone/tablet etc?
I can use JRiver itself on a device remote to control JRiver on my pc where all my music is?
Or i have JRiver on a device and connect to my PC and have access like i do now with JRiver on my pc?
If Gizmo or Jremote2 would browse music/audio by disk like they do music i wouldnt even be sweating this
But i am interested in hearing more from your advice
Cheers

Yes. You can have an instance of MC on your Windows tablet. And instead of loading it’s own media library from its own disk, you can have it connect to the instance of MC that is running on your main PC and use that one’s library. There’s surely a description in the wiki that explains this.

Correct.

Look at Tremote in that topic. MC can control MC on another machine.
-
Well that is exciting mate
JRiver can browse audio on my drives by disk? Not only video by disk?
If this really works i am chuffed
Cheers

Correct.

i read that link and it appears i need to buy that physical remote to control the instance of MC on my remote machine/tablet? Is that true?
Cheers

You can install Media Center on something like a tablet and as a client you can connect it to another Media Center server running on a device in your network and you can either use the client Media Center to control the server Media Center or you can stream your media from the server to the client Media Center.
My example is, I have a Media Center server running on a Windows desktop PC, and I have a Windows tablet as well. So while Media Center is running as a server on the desktop PC, I have Media Center installed on the tablet and I connect it (via Media Network) to the Media Center server so it becomes a client. The Media Center client on the tablet can be now used to control the playback of the server Media Center or I can set it to stream from the server to the client Tablet.
So you don't need a physical remote control for that, it's optional if you want/need one.

That is exciting news mate.
i would imagine i just enter the infos on my other machine/tablet as i did in Gizmo/Jremote2?
Tools-options-media network & the access key is found there at top?
...Access key ?
Is that correct?
Cheers
