Title: Windows workstation to manage library, Linux device in theater to stream?
Post by: pepar on April 10, 2017, 06:42:31 am

I am coming to the JRiver world from Popcorn Hour, so that is the body of my networked media streaming experience. With JRiver will I be able to use an instance on my Win7 Pro workstation to manage my library, as I do now with NMJ and 3rd party tools, and another instance on a small Linux box in my home theater for playing my media?  Taking that one step further, I have another system to which I'd like to stream; can I use another Linux instance there?  Implied in my questions is another question: Can I do all of this with one license?

If you're using MC on more than one OS, you can purchase a Master License.

The wiki has a topic called Media Network that describes the network features.  What you describe is possible.

It should work as you want.  Keep in mind you can test for 30 days prior to plonking down the cash.
