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
