interesting, i never had any problems with jriver updates.
w10, always up to date

As popular as the Hapi DAC has become among home theater enthusiasts 
https://www.stereophile.com/content/merging-hapi-mkii-multichannel-digital-processor
, I was told by Merging that they have no plans to issue any kind of firmware/USB connected IR box to provide this simple functionality.

These ASR members did their best to assist in my quest  https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/how-to-predict-required-mch-dac-output-voltage.54805/#post-1990691 , though I doubt that I’d be content being tethered to Kal Rubinson’s wired remote. Thus, he hinted that I seek wireless solutions here.

As JRiver will be my most often used player, are there any handheld wireless remote models more ergonomic and less clunky overall than a smartphone for simple master volume/mute control of the Hapi?

To be clear, if you either don't change refresh rate, or HDR is already enabled beforehand, it 100% works for you?

I have been looking into enabling HDR earlier if the video is actually flagged HDR in the Media Center library (because that would be before we even open the file to check, Library is all we got), to avoid some issues with breaking HDMI audio streams for some people. Maybe doing HDR before refresh rate would help. Or in fact sort of "at the same time" (although not really, Windows display mode changes are stupid and don't let you combine settings).

I paused my movie for a brief moment just to try it cause I really wanted to know.  The Crow folder backup I did yesterday:

EOTF 2: SMPTE ST 2084 [PQ], MT: DCI-P3 [WO], WP: D65
GRN: 34000, 16000 [0.68, 0.32]
BLU: 13250, 34500 [0.265, 0.69]
RED: 7500, 3000 [0.15, 0.06]
WP: 15635, 16450, [0.3127, 0.329]
Max/Min Lum: 842 / 0.005 nits
MaxCLL/FALL: 300 / 0 nits


That's on the menu.  It's working perfectly for me in all scenarios.

Thanks. No idea why it doesn’t help here.

And, by the way, converting from MP3 to FLAC is a bad idea.  You're taking a lossy file and creating a supposedly lossless file.  But it isn't.

By MP4, maybe you mean M4P?  Apple's "protected" format, which I believe they no longer use.

I'm not certain I follow you, but I think what you're saying is:

You had tracks in iTunes.

You used JRiver to convert them, at first leaving the files also in their original location (where iTunes knew them to be).

Then you did it again, telling JRiver to delete the files from their original location, and that's probably why iTunes finds them missing.

Right?

JRWeb is used to host the web browser for any views that show a website. Web Browsers should generally be sandboxed into their own process for security and stability - and thats what JRWeb does.
JRWorker primarily performs video import and thumbnailing, so it doesn't bog down MC itself. It has some other tasks like dealing with some handheld devices as well, but thats much more niche.
JRService is a light-weight system service that handles some remote control functions that require a system-wide component to intercept. From all those here, its probably the most niche.

Thank you Hendrik.

Love number 2. Good idea! I always uninstall the previous versions once the new version is stable.

Just completed the upgrade process. It was great! 2 recommendations:


1. Include the C:\Program Files\J River\Media Center XX\Data\Tooltip folder. I have some icons in here from the Customized Tooltip and Theater Views configurations from way back that I've been too lazy to convert, and I just like them as they are.


2. After installation, maybe prompt to uninstall the version it upgraded from? Just thought.
