Title: FileAssociations.xml
Post by: Alex_W on February 08, 2024, 10:12:40 pm

Hi all,

Wondering if anyone knows the answer to this:

I need to add a "audio/dsd" stanza to the dsf and dff lines so that my JRiver would play those files on my Sony STR1080 via DLNA. In the earlier versions of the JRiver (i.e., 28), there was a "Custom Resources" sub-folder in "Data" where I could put the edited FileAssociations.xml, _and it would survive an upgrade_. No such folder in JR32, and the FileAssociations.xml got overwritten (as expected, I guess) on a minor version update.

Is there a new place for the custom FileAssociations.xml, or can I just create the sub-folder, as before?

Thanks,

A

It's never been there by default, so just go ahead and create it and you'll be fine. Your next major upgrade (MC33) should copy your 'Custom'folders across for you.

so, an update... (pun intended)

on a minor version update (32.0.17 --> 32.0.20), the Cusom Resources folder with the custom FileAssociations.xml file remained in place... but was ignored by the updated JRiver. I had to yet again edit the main FileAssociations.xml to convince my renderer to play dsf files.

thoughts?

I just stepped this and it seems to be working as expected.
Can you verify that your file is:
~/.jriver/Media Center 32/Data/Custom Resources/FileAssociations.xml
It is case sensitive and check the permissions please.

/usr/lib/jriver/Media Center 32/Data/Custom Resources is where I placed it (this worked with JRiver 28). Perhaps this is my mistake, as I see you point to .jriver in my home directory?

Yes.
It's possible the older versions looked in that incorrectly. It should be looking in the users data space under .jriver

Hi all,

Just got a spare minute to test and post an update: Custom Resources folder migration seems to be working as expected. Thank you, developers!
