Title: Android phone connecting to JRiver server
Post by: Osho on November 02, 2009, 08:25:46 pm

Hi,

Does anyone know of a way to connect an Android mobile phone to Media Server (either UPnP or the built in Library Server) and listen to music? I am looking for an application similar to Simplify Media for an android mobile phone that I am planning to buy.

Thanks,
Osho

There may be other means, but the plug-in "HTTP Remote Control Web Server" works well through the android browser.

This would allow me to control the MC14 from Android browser  - that is not what I want. I am looking for a way to stream audio/video so that I can listen to audio on the Android phone.

thanks,
Osho

Osho,

I'm with you on wanting this functionality.

We need an official Android app to run as a remote client.

There is an app called AndroMote http://www.andromote.de/

But it doesn't seem to detect the MC server. :'(

I stand corrected!!!!!

Andromote works perfectly, at least in my house. It looks for media servers available via WiFi.

Hmmmm.... so how to do it over the web?

I'm not seeing a Media Renderer with AndroMote...  which, if I understand, is how I can control the player.  Am I missing something?

Press on MEdia Renderer and select Local Player. AndroMote worked with me - even though its interface is very horrible as I have my audio files in many directories and it provides listing via directories instead of Genre/Artists/Album hierarchy that I prefer to use.

Another disadvantage of AndroMote is that it only works with local home Wi-Fi connection. It will not work from outside your home (either via 3G or Wi-Fi connection elsewhere). Since my main purpose is to listen to it from outside home - AndroMode unfortunately did not work out.

I am now investigating Orb (http://www.orb.com) - they have a OrbLive application for iPhone and I hear a beta is in works for Android platform.

Thanks...  I'll take a look at Orb.

Come on JRiver - throw us a bone!  An Android app would make my year (in terms of software, that is!)...

I've got Andromote recognizing MC, but it keeps popping up a "Activate playlist mode in Settings when using local renderer" message whenever I try to play anything (either via browsing to a song or playing an item in a playlist).  Can't find "playlist mode" anywhere in the app.  Anyone?

There is a new accessory called the Wireless Media Stick, manufactured by HSTi (http://hsti.com/wirelessmediastick/overview?source=wms2&akw=hsti%20wireless%20media%20stick).
The Media Stick is essentially a network bridge between a PC, Mac, NAS, or Android device connected to a WiFi router;
and any media player with a USB playback port (i.e.,TV, DVD/Blu-ray player, game console, stereo, or digital picture frame).
 
On an Android device the Wireless Media Stick App streams videos, music, photos, or PowerPoint presentations -
via the WiFi radio - to a Wireless Media Stick plugged into the USB playback port of a media player.
The Android application provides full control over which folders and/or files are shareable.
