I've only just downloaded JRiver on a friends recommendation, My laptop doesn't have a huge amount of disk space and I have my music stored on a NAS.
The tutorials I've looked all seem to infer that if I point the library to the NAS it'll download a copy to the local machine taking up valuable disk space.
Is there any way I can avoid this so the laptop holds a display / list of the media available and streams it but doesn't actually download a copy to the local machine??
I appreciate a NAS doesn't have an operating system so probably can't install the software onto it to act as a server ..... I do have one other alternative which is a Nvidia Shield which if there was an App that would work as the server on there could copy my music to it but this wouldn't be my preferred option.

It doesn't copy the content to the local machine, which tutorial makes you think that?
https://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Library might help clarify the difference between the library (i.e. a database of content metadata ) and the media content itself
