Pauses when playing
Solved by power cycling the network and devices on it:

Probably some confused network device.  Glad it's working.

Thank you, that's fixed it

Sidecar files might work.  https://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Sidecar_Files

I want to get the Merging Hapi DAC to use with my 3.1 system. https://www.merging.com/products/interfaces/hapi  , but has anyone devised a wireless handheld remote that will do master volume/mute for this MCH DAC? When I suggested issuing such a handheld device to Merging support, Rune or another person argued that Hapi is targeted to the pro audio market and who prefer wirED remotes. Really? Then why did Merging bother submitting the Hapi to a leading high end consumer audio online newsletter for review? https://www.stereophile.com/content/merging-hapi-mkii-multichannel-digital-processor

Instead, Rune’s only alternative suggestion was to add the Anubis hardwired interface (> $2K) or opt for the NADAC ($11K!!), rather than the Hapi for thousands less. THAT is their idea of a sensible solution merely for obtaining master volume/mute remote control? Again, Anubis is a wirED box and with tons of features I’ll never need. I’ve received better customer support from Amazon and Walmart.

JRiver will be my Windows player of choice but I’d rather not use that JRemote app, as my iPhone 7+ is 3” too wide and heavy for my small hands to fumble with. A simple master volume/mute wireless remote-like we've had forever with DVD/BD players-can't be asking too much by now. 

Meanwhile, will I lose resolution by using the up/down keys on my wireless keyboard to control the Hapi's master volume via JRiver?

Power cycle everything, including all devices on your network.

re-asking:

does jremote support playback of mp4/HVEC?

i have a lot of content in that container using that encoding.   audio plays fine but no video.

if not, can you add it?  ios/ipados support both

It should. I’m able to play flac files in IOS without transcoding and it is not supported by iTunes… Just try it?

JRiver was working fine last night but as of today I get the spinning wheel every few seconds. This occurs whether music is playing or not. Naturally, it causes the music to stop repeatedly. I haven't knowingly changed anything in my setup since last night. 

I've upgraded to the latest version, problem persists. Have also turned the computer off and on again.

I'm using a Macbook as a server with all music stored locally on an EHD. Mostly FLAC files

The slider control for volume works sometimes on my MAC and always works fine on my Windows and Raspi 5 with same device and music.   I tried both my Intel and Apple silicon Macs and they both have this issue.   Sometimes it works but most of the time it doesn't

Have I got a settings problem somewhere?

I'm controlling volume with a DLNA/DAC endpoint

If I output sound to my computer speakers the volume slider works perfectly.   If I output to the DLNA device, the volume slider sometimes works but usually doesn't (music is on a network NAS).   The Audio Path shows "Not using JRiver audio engine"

Seems I have something messed up.
