Title: JRemote and Streaming Requests
Post by: MikeO on July 10, 2018, 06:10:25 am
I have been a loyal JRiver user since Version 16 , and have used it as my primary server since then.

My system comprises a Desktop PC running JRiver across an Ethernet network  along with a Cambridge Audio CXN streamer and a MyGica video streamer.

The PC acts as a server and whilst not headless it may as well be. It is well removed from the listening area. I use the main MC program for admin etc , I never use it for music selection.

My practice is to use JRemote as a control point (on either an iPad Mini or and android cell phone) to manage what I listen via my 2 streamers in true couch potato style. I do not have any form of HTPC running in my listening area, just the two streamers

I am happy at the improvements that are being made to the main program BUT when will I be able to use them from my armchair via JRemote

Specifically the new streaming options etc , as I see it I have to go to the server and set the stream going , am I missing something?

I have 3 specific requirements that I (so far) cannot achieve, unless I am missing something. I have tried setting up new views in Options etc to no avail.

Tidal streaming direct to my CXN (or Quobus , we don’t have Quobus locally so its not an issue)
Internet Radio streaming
MC’s new Streaming options

We may get some streaming working in JRemote, but don't expect a major overhaul.

Panel has the best implementation so far.

Tidal and Qobuz aren't planned.

It's also possible to save a stream to a playlist and play that.  It's not great, but it works.

Play the stream (direct link) in MC

Right click on it in Playing Now > Send to > Playlist
