Please make lyric download multi threaded. It seems to me currently lyrics are downloaded one song a time. It takes forever to update a relatively large database.
-
That's probably not a good idea. Think about it, if a lyrics site detects an app (or individual from the same IP address) trying to make multiple connections to download lyrics all at the same time like this, it might cause you to get IP banned from those sites. I'd say it would very likely get you IP banned in fact.
-
I thought you guys had an understanding with the lyric sites.
-
High-End,
On the server, you can change the layout that the remotes use. This has been discussed many times here.
For example:

It doesn't work like that I'm afraid.
-
I've asked before so please forgive repeating...I wonder if when streaming a radio staion you could possibly record it with JRiver? I understand it used to be possible in earlier builds. When I stream now I cannot record the stream with Audacity, DiamondCut DC10, SoundTap Streaming Audio Recorder, etc. But if I use Windows MP or VLC they all capture the stream. Yes, I know it's probably something I haven't set up properly...I admit it!! Just though it would be 'nice' to be able to keep it in JRiver. Thanks (looking forward to MC27)
-
You'd be better off starting a new post with this question.

Would like to see an option to change the default selection behaviour for music tracks and videos in Theatre View:
Select an Album, select a track, have all tracks in the Album added to Playing Now, and play from the track selected (i.e. cut out the often unneeded 'Play All' step/screen)
Select a video, play the video (i.e. cut out the often unneeded 'Watch' screen/step)
Something similar was requested for the former a while ago:

In MC26 the highest setting for simultaneous conversions is 8. I have an 8 core, 16 thread cpu. I would be very helpful if MC could use all my threads for conversions. I have my entire music collection on my pc in lossless. When I transfer to my phone I like to convert to lossy. Using all 16 of my threads rather than 8 would speeds things up substantially. Thank you
-
Sure thing. v27 will allow choosing up to 16.
-
Great!
-
I know if you pay for JRiver you are "enough" hardcore to experiment a bit but what if the pros already know the best settings for you? And this is what I want a "Simple mode" for, or less advanced. Whenever I try to recommend JRiver to my friends they always tell me it is way too complicated and I hope there would be some feature in the future that will change that.

View > Audio Only Mode ?

1. Database searching in JRemote.
For years now, I've been saying that I'd like navigation in Media Center to be search-driven rather than library-driven.
I'd still like to see that happen, but it's doubly-important for mobile apps like JRemote.
JRemote only searches the current list view, not the MC database. If I want to search for an album name, I need to first navigate to a view which includes it - I can't just hit the search button and type the name.
2. User support for JRemote clients.
Being able to log in with a specific user for JRemote, which only grants them access to specific views tailored to them, is crucial for a family-friendly setup, or making things easier for a spouse when they get views tailored to their media.
3. JRemote support for the 2018 iPads.
JRemote still doesn't support the new aspect ratio of the 2018 iPads. It will have been two years in October.
4. AirPlay support for Zones.
Every new mid-range/high-end smart TV now has AirPlay 2 built in.
Every new networked/smart speaker that isn't produced by Amazon/Google.
And most new home theater equipment too - whether it's a sound bar or an AVR.
As a result, every room in my house is now equipped with AirPlay 2 receivers; and Media Center can't interface with them at all.
There have been workarounds using multiple third-party tools duct-taped together to kind-of make AirPlay work, but it doesn't integrate well.
You can have an "AirPlay zone" in Media Center but need to be at the computer to control which device that plays to, and it doesn't work so reliably for me now.
Look, I know that you don't like interfacing with Apple APIs, but AirPlay has been around since 2004 now, and AirPlay 2 was announced in 2017.
To have AirPlay support for Zones, where each zone can transmit to a specific individual device, would make a huge difference to how well Media Center integrates into a modern home media setup.
5. Official voice assistant integration
Alexa support is nearly as ubiquitous as AirPlay 2 support these days, and the least-expensive way to make an existing setup "smart".
6. Apple TV JRemote client.
We can dream, right?
-
That's a pretty Apple-centric list.
Don't the Airplay devices also support UPnP?
-
1 is a key point, and an example of the modernity that JRiver has been lacking when compared to other media serving solutions.
-
While we're on the topic of JRemote, I've got a few additional
gripes feature requests:
- Fix the problem of tracks randomly not showing up (same problem in Gizmo and Webgizmo)
- Save the current view/playlist/location in track when you close the app so you don't have to re-navigate to it every time
- Allow for downloading tracks to the device (most streaming services support this)
Fixing just these things would be enough for me to upgrade. As it stands, I don't really see a reason to...
-
That's a pretty Apple-centric list.
Don't the Airplay devices also support UPnP?
It is an Apple-centric list, but that's because I don't want to have to work to set up and maintain devices any more.
Except for Media Center integration, Apple devices cause a lot fewer problems for me.
I don't have the time to spend on projects like researching and buying all the parts for a Raspberry Pi build, waiting for everything to arrive, putting it all together, spending hours setting up all the software - to end up with a setup that only does 90% of what I expected it to, and then requires maintenance a few months down the line when things start acting weird.
Instead of $150 on a project like that I can spend $30 on a used AirPort Express v2 or $190 on an Apple TV which works, and holds it value if I ever want to sell it.
Having the Apple TV remote turn on all the AV equipment to the correct inputs with a single button via HDMI-CEC, and then being able to search across multiple streaming platforms in a unified interface with a single voice command makes everything so much easier for family. It has replaced all other devices for them.
I would love to be able to access my Media Center library on it; but it's probably the biggest "ask" in the list, and the lowest priority when there are alternatives like migrating to a Plex-compatible library structure - despite my reluctance to do so.
As for tablets - is anyone other than Apple even making high-end tablets now?
Google largely seems to have abandoned Android development for tablets, while Apple strengthened their commitment to the platform with the move from general iOS to iPadOS last year.
But all I'm asking for is support of the new aspect ratio introduced in 2018, not a new app.
And AirPlay 2 support just seems to be the way the tide is turning these days:
You buy an LG, Sony, Samsung, Vizio TV and it has AirPlay 2 support.
Bought a new Bose or Sonos smart speaker? AirPlay 2 support.
Buy a new Samsung, LG, Sonos etc. sound bar: AirPlay 2 support.
Buy a new Yamaha, Denon, Marantz, Onkyo etc. AVR and it has AirPlay 2 support.
Most of these also include Alexa integration now as well - though I'd prefer to use that for control, not direct playback. I believe Amazon has quite a lot of restrictions for audio playback.
But if I AirPlay a track to one of the smart speakers, I can say "Alexa, next" or "Alexa, volume 50" to control its playback. That's the kind of integration I'd like to see via Zones in MC.
Some of those devices listed - most likely the AVRs - might also support other networked protocols such as UPnP/DLNA, but it's usually their own proprietary network protocol instead. The one point of convergence across most new devices now seems to be AirPlay 2.
I think the only device I have which does support DLNA still is a Sony TV from 2010 that I plan on replacing soon.
AirPlay is seamless and works great for multi-room playback now with v2.
The big advantage it has over anything else is that it runs on WiFi, but you can connect sources directly to it as easily as a Bluetooth speaker.

MQA decoding would be fine.
Many portable hires-players already support this feature!
-
I would love to see that the new version can accept REW EQ files and also is able to save its custom built-in EQ settings too.
Thank you!

Hardware video acceleration on mac os pls
-
QOBUZ intégration (playlists, player...etc) It would be the reason why I'll comeback to JRiver Thanks a lot
-

The latter builds of MC26 should already have this, no?
-
QOBUZ intégration (playlists, player...etc) It would be the reason why I'll comeback to JRiver Thanks a lot
Probably not going to happen, here's a recent topic explaining why: https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,125509.0.html
MQA decoding would be fine.
Also probably not going to happen, JRiver has said multiple times they have zero intent on supporting MQA. However, unofficially you can passthrough MQA through Media Center by a) not using any DSP whatsoever and b) setting volume to 100%.
-
Can you add HQPlayer audio support
To JRiver.
Would be grateful.
Ive supported JRiver for years by upgrading each year and ñot one new feature you've added yet has been useful from audiophile point of view.
Which at a point were cant be bothered with jriver any more
I use Roon mostly now. But would go back to jriver if you just give something back for loyalty.
Regards
Edward.

Can you add HQPlayer audio support
To JRiver.
You guys really should do a forum search before posting, as Jim already answered this 2 years ago.
https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,114655.msg792883.html#msg792883
TL;DR, they're not interested in adding HQPlayer support (nor adding support as a Roon endpoint, in case you're wondering). However they are (or at least were at the time) interested in possibly expanding DSP Studio with new filters, and at the time were open to suggestions.
-
Hi,
Support for Amazon stick. Currently i can upload the app but i can't access the different categories as the remote does not interact well. GIZMO works sort of OK.
Support for streaming on JRemote for android. I can not access the streaming section from JRemote for Android, just from JRemote for IOs.
Many thanks,
O

I use a server as a master server for JRiver. Meta Data Changes or music file deletions, updates etc. are only done on this server. All other computers with JRiver gets copies.
For me the jriver sync mechanism is useless. It sync in both directions. I need update of (new) music files or meta data only in one direction. The reverse direction should be protected.
-
I sometime create file copies in mp3 format.
I would like the idea only to update the meta data of already converted files without converting them again. This would save a lot of time.
-
Any chance we can get better Chapter navigation as discussed here -

Apologies for adding to the ever increasing list of feature requests, but....
I've asked for these over many years having bought licenses for MC21 (and perhaps older) through to 26 (only skipped 25 I think...)
Perhaps Jim or someone from JR could just tell me there simply isn't access to the code to make these options available or I don't make a strong enough case :-)
New Theatre View options:
(1) Option to disable animation/3d effects on cover art - in particular the distracting 'elastic' animation - it just becomes an annoying unnecessary distraction on the horizontally scrolled views (even with a modest number of albums/videos!) when it floats 3d backwards and forwards and takes ages to settle back to something viewable again! (see pic 1 below) - a bonus would be to options to remove the cover art angles (pic 2)/rotation animations etc. and just have simple fades.
(2) Option to change the cover art size and/or margins on all views. AFAIK the scaling option applies to vertical scrolled cover art view but not the other views (only text gets enlarged). Music albums (1:1/square) seem to be quite well scaled already (see pic 3 - skipped couldn't upload pic - maybe they could be a bit closer together...) but DVDs/BDs (1:1.5/rectangular) have a fairly large gap between them (pic 4). Some way of adjusting these sizes/gaps and separately for square/1:1.5 ratio covert art would be nice.
(3) Option to disable the drop shadow that's added to all the text in Theatre View would make things more legible/cleaner.
(4) Duplicate of another post in MC26, but... offline backdrop.jpg support (stored with album or video file) for albums/videos that shows up as a background when on an album is selected (e.g. pic 5) and in playing now (e.g. pic 6).
(5) Customisation of the text that shows up under the cover in playing now - for example, I don't need to see the volume setting as I leave it at max/bit perfect, but visibility of the time remaining countdown without having to scroll to it (i.e. the ability to add it in the main text block that's currently hard coded [artist] [track] [duration]) would be nice.
(6) Duplicate of another post, but this: https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,126183.0.html. If I click enter on a track (e.g. pic 2) just play the track and add all the tracks underneath to playing now, without having to go to another screen to play all (and similarly for videos where there is an intermittent 'watch' screen) - I don't need either step every time I select media, I just want it to play)

One day, I hope you support .mod .xm .it etc music files. I have a huge collection and want to ear them with the best reproduction possible on my system.
We are some guys, see history HERE (https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,119515.msg826364.html#msg826364)
May be it'll help you : LINK 1 (https://med.planet-d.net/demo/web/modplayer/#4-mat%20-%20anarchymenu%2001.mod) LINK 2 (https://sourceforge.net/projects/modplayer/files/src/)
Please, even drunk ;D , I'm sure you can do it !
-
The ability to access a particular chapter through JRemote would be great as well.
-
Some phone video clips that I take need to rotate 90 degrees. Please provide capability. Perhaps you should ask the user base what would be one feature that would compel them to buy MC27. This would me mine (kidding, I am planning to upgrade even if you don't implement this request).
-
For me it would have to be Qobuz integration, I am aware of the previous discussions on this, and the JRiver view that companies such as Qobuz don't have a sustainable business model, but it is a good product and shows no signs of going away, and I would switch back to JRiver from Audirvana in a heartbeat if this capability was offered.
-
If my media server is in eastern time zone and I'm streaming to my computer in pacific time zone, I have to set the time zone to eastern to see the correct guide listings. It would be nice if the guide time could be shifted to meet other time zones.
For example: if it's 3:00 pst, my client pc guide shows that Judge Judy is on. When I tune to the channel, it's the 6 pm news. There should be a simple way to offset that guide time.
-
A visualizer for active PEQ filters would be really helpful, like VST plugins often give.
Here are a few examples, pulled randomly from google:
https://images.app.goo.gl/SYhN5m5djFkfHyc49
-
Slideshow from specific folders with some simple options like fade in/out. We all have great cameras in our smartphones. I'be been asking for this for years. ;D
-
Just use FabFilter
-
It would be a sensible addition though IMO the whole PEQ screen needs an overhaul as usability is really bad in general. A faster/easier way to input/save/load filters is required as well as some way to import from commonly used filter design programs (such as REW). API (MCWS) access to such features would be useful too.
-
Good Idea
-
Mattkhan, totally agree. Actually the REW GUI for PEQ is simple and informative.
I found a thread on audiosciencereview.com that shows REW back to back with JRiver's PEQ interface:
https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/mucking-about-with-minidsp-umik-1-rew-and-jriver.12646/
I thought the linked posted accurately describes the process of importing from REW to JRiver:
"As my speakers are placed asymetrically in the room, I generated a separate set of EQ settings for the left and right channels and set about plumbing them all into JRiver, which was quite a tedious process,"
I agree, if a better implement is possible it would be a big improvement. And also help integrate JRiver with the REW folks, which is probably a good thing.
-
Please add support for bitstreaming of files that don't contain a video stream.
See this thread https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,122750.0.html for a discussion of the issue.
It would be really nice to have Bluray audio Dolby Atmos files played without needing to include a video stream.
-
I use the Audio Calibration tool to play pink noise then look at Analyzer. It has the advantage that it's actually drawing exactly what is happening instead of just the theory.
-
Unless the jriver DSP engine is broken, the theory and reality will match.
Other problems with this approach include; poor low frequency resolution, no dB scale, no adjustable dB range, no ability to isolate a channel, no way to see the contribution of individual filters, even worst user experience as now you have to switch tabs back and forth and turn off all other DSP (if you want to isolate effect of peq though even that is not possible necessarily, e.g. if a crossover is in the convolver)
-
View > Audio Only Mode ?
What I meant you go to playback options there is [Audio]
[Images]
[Video]
but now there is one more option [Simple Mode] instead of like 20 options u get to choose 1 to 3 options instead of 30 and "it just works" perhaps worse than if you just configured correctly but much better for beginners who just want to try it out.
-
You can extract audio from video.
https://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Convert_Format
Audio files can already be bitstreamed.
-
Car Radio Requests:
1) Auto Update: Make Car Radio playlist/smartlist auto update when original lists are changed. Currently, if I assign "Playlist 1" to a Car Radio button, but then later add files to the original Playlist 1, they are not also updated in the Car Radio button. Same seems to be true for changes to Smartlist rules.
2) Add To: Ability to right click on a Car Radio button and choose "ADD to Playing Now". Currently it only "REPLACES Playing Now". In fact it would be nice to have all the "More Play Options" available for Car Radio.
-
Matt, also consider it's hard to see under +-2db adjustments on the pink noise generator. I'm really guessing on the Q when I adjust a frequency by ear, and often hopping to other software to see how theoretical implementation would manifest.
-
I really like Tiles view, however it lacks a lot of the customizability of the other views.
Things I wish I could do in Tiles view:
- Option to control the thumbnail/overall size of individual tiles in tiles
- Ability to display multiple columns of tiles
- Option to edit the text shown in tiles
- Toolbar button to switch directly to tiles view
-
How can I convert a Dolby Atmos file to another format?
Doesn't it have to remain in bitstream format so that it will be processed by the preamp?
-
You can't do it with MC. MC can't decode Atmos.
-
That is why it would be nice if I could bitstream the audio stream without having to bring the video stream along for the ride.
-
When I sync with my Android device, I would like to remove any special characters (á, ä, ö, ü, ç, ñ, ß, ...) from filenames and/or pathnames. Android (the latest Version 10) does not recognize songs in playlists (!) that include such characters! Thus the songs are never displayed in/played from playlists, even when the songs were copied to the device and are actually included in the playlist! I changed to other playlist formats (UTF-8, etc.), but none of them works properly with Android.
I tried to find an expression that replaces all kinds of special characters in filenames and pathnames in JRiver, but such expression does not exist.
I also tried to replace such characters one by one using the search-and-replace function for path/filenames in JRiver, but the replacement does unwanted things: It replaces all "a" by "ae" when I actually wanted to replace just the "ä" through "ae". The result was a mess!
I would be very happy, if you realized at least an easy way to sync files to external devices without special characters, so that playlists fully work on Android devices! This also requires that special characters are not included in the automatically generated paths (e. g. [ARTIST] - [ALBUM]). Their source is often the metadata of the songs/mp3 files. I want to keep the special characters in the metadata of the songs.
Thanks

I find the current Rating system for tracks limited! It can be improved however in my opinion with two additions:
- Allow for "half star" ratings effectively doubling the range and,
- Allow for rating at the album level, not only track
Ideally, I would love to have a connection to say Allmusic.com rating for my albums, it that too difficult to do?
-
Can it convert from DFF to DSF directly without first making it PCM yet? Ive seen that requested before, and its the only reason I would go up from 26 to 27
-
Is it possible to highlight the active preset in the "Rename, Move, Copy Files" window?
Thank you

Nope.

2. User support for JRemote clients.
Being able to log in with a specific user for JRemote, which only grants them access to specific views tailored to them, is crucial for a family-friendly setup, or making things easier for a spouse when they get views tailored to their media.
Yes, but all clients/remotes, not just jremote.

Implement the "Display an alphabet" from Library view to Theater View.
-
I have a PC in my living room where the JRiver Media server resides that are connected to a 4k projector and a 4k computer screen.
In my bedroom I have another PC with JRiver acting as a client connected to a 2k screen.
Since the resolutions are different for the two computers the file info panel that looks good on the 4k screen is to large on the 2k screen.
(Yes, I know I can adjust the size to a smaller size but that makes everything smaller and it becomes difficult to read the text on the 2k screen.)
Please make a solution for a different file info panel for a client JRiver.
And still have auto sync on between the server and the client.
-
Can you tell me if there will be an automatic filter switch in the convolution, based on the wav filters and no need anymore for endless text files?
I would upgrade at once!

Would it possible to have MKV H264/AC3 1080p - in addition to to AAC - as a video conversion format option?
Thanks

There has to be a reason but one has never been provided....so why not add a recorder function to MC?

Share Public Link : Generates a URL that you can sent to others outside you home network so they can play the content from your MC Server
Summary: Allows you to share content with others outside your local network.
Currently if I want to share content for Family/Friends, I have to take a "copy" and upload it to some service (in my case Nextcloud) and then from that service send a "public link" so others can play it. As lots of us now have good upload speed (and will only get better), it now makes sense to just share directly from MC. MC already has all of the plumbing in place but just not the ability to create and share a link to a particular item (or group of items).
I'd suggest the ability to
- select an item --> Right Click --> Generate Public Link (that is then stored in Clipboard and written to a new Library Field)
- users you "revoke" access by simply removing the link in the library field or by Right Click --> Unshare

Sonos support from JRemote: not via DLNA or Airplay, but leveraging Sonos' APIs similar to how Spotify is doing it.
Sonos is my only frequently used sound system in the house (not all supporting Airplay), and because of the limited integration, I barely listen to my local music anymore: making MC a lesser used tool.
-
Locking tab views and being able to drag tabs. Everyone uses tabs in browsers these days and splitting the view feels like an old file viewer.
-
The ability to freeze/lock columns. Which you all said would be implemented in 26 (https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,122571.msg850144.html#msg850144)
The big one for me, something I have been asking for for five years now, the ability to change the sort order in theater view on the fly. From a previous request thread:
I want to be able to change the sorting in Theater View. As an example, lets say I am in the mood to watch a Comedy. I navigate to my view which shows all my genres, I then choose Comedy. All my Comedy movies are displayed in their default sorting, which is alphabetical. Now lets say I want to watch something that's recent, or something that I know that imported into my library recently, or by length, or whatever criteria. I'd like there to be a "Sort" option in the top roller and then customizable sorting options below that. I have done a mock up in Photoshop to show how what I envision.
(http://www.moesrealm.com/img/MC/sort.jpg)
I'd really like to see this idea (https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,121770.0.html) realized. It seemed like you all were on board with the idea, but then it fizzled.
And lastly, pretty please bring back video backgrounds. It's a loss of functionality that's been gone for several years now that I dearly miss.
-
To add to this monstrous list, I would like to see the analyzer go lower; to 20 or even 15Hz if possible. That would help people see if there were LFs that they were missing. And let you know how low ones sub would have to go to reproduce everything that wasn't coming through.
-
Seconding the request for Amiga MOD/Tracker music support. I know a few of us have asked about this in the past but not sure we ever got an answer. BASS Audio Library can handle those files and can be licensed for what appears to be relatively cheap one time fees per development site/platform, with no royalties. Might be worth talking to them. https://www.un4seen.com/bass.html#license
also... yearly gripe about AAC-HE / or Opus encoding/streaming being added for JRemote etc.

you can already do that though LF resolution/accuracy is not that great (attempt was made in MC22 time to improve this, reverted in MC23)

Customized views for JRemote: ability to save to / load from server or local file system.
... Background: I heavily customized my views for JRemote on my streaming server, and now I'd like to have the same views available on my PC, which I only use for maintaining the library (import, tagging, ...). All views are defined in the Options menu ("Media Network > Advanced > Customize views for JRemote, Gizmo & Panel...").
...
-
I've asked before but better internet radio support would be my top request - What we have now is awkward - An interface that allowed you go into one of the freely available directories and be able to select a stream would be great

A Cloud service / web App as an alternative to the current system of home based server having to be running 24/7 and physical file storage. Let us manage and stream our library of files stored in your servers through a web App, accessible anywhere and from any device. You could offer different plans depending on storage. Turn JRiver MediaCenter to JRiver MediaCloud.

We've got the basic structure of that built. It's what Cloudplay uses now. You can upload playlists to our server at Amazon S3, then play them anywhere.

How about incorporating an Audio Device default priority list?
Currently I always have to manually go into the Playback Options menu to select Audio Device option for the DAC that I want to use.
Similar to a PC, incorporating a Priority list would automatically switch to the DAC you have connected/turned on, and in the order you select.
For instance: I have one DAC for Phones, and a separate DAC for my large amplified speakers.
If there was a default list would set it up like :
1. Headphone DAC [ASIO]
2. Rackmount DAC [ASIO] to Large speakers
3. Computer output [Direct Sound]
If no external DACs are connected, default to "Direct Sound" (computer jack output).
-
How about incorporating an Audio Device default priority list?
Currently I always have to manually go into the Playback Options menu to select Audio Device option for the DAC that I want to use.
Similar to a PC, incorporating a Priority list would automatically switch to the DAC you have connected/turned on, and in the order you select.
For instance: I have one DAC for Phones, and a separate DAC for my large amplified speakers.
If there was a default list would set it up like :
1. Headphone DAC [ASIO]
2. Rackmount DAC [ASIO] to Large speakers
3. Computer output [Direct Sound]
If no external DACs are connected, default to "Direct Sound" (computer jack output).
You can use zones for this and ctrl-t to toggle among them. Please see the wiki.

But we need a server running MC to access to the playlists, don't we?
You need MC to play them. You don't have to run a server.
-
1. Allow direct audio/subtitle switching within Blu-Ray Menu mode.
2. Support the LRC lyrics format (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LRC_(file_format)). You'll kill at least two birds with one stone:
a) You'll have synchronized lyrics as a brilliant new feature.
b) You won't have to rely so much on external websites and erratic lyrics auto-recognition. The users can adjust and keep their own lyrics as they please, as plain text files. Users can also build a common JRiver synchronized lyrics database for all to share and enjoy.

I'd like to see either a new field, or enhancement to the Compression field for Video. Specifically, I would like to know if a video has Atmos or DTS-X encoding, whether J River can play it back correctly or not. Also, I would like to know more about the video compression. It's good you identify HEVC, but it would also be nice to see what level of compression is being used (i.e. 8 bit, 10 bit or even 12 bit). And it would be nice to know from a summary POV if there are multiple audio streams associated with the file.
Thanks, Keep up the good work!
-
You need MC to play them. You don't have to run a server.
So, you always need a computer with MC installed and running. If you are on the train, in a car, at your office computer or in front your TV and whant to manage or listen to your playlists, in addition to the app in the device, there must be a computer on with MC running. That's what I'd like to avoid. I'd rather just log in to MC web or device App, not depending on MC installed in my PC.
-
Some of the remotes now work with Cloudplay and we will expand this support.
I'll move this to a new thread.
-
FYI - Hendrik has more flexible video conversion options on his (long) list of things to look at
Appreciate the information, however, I was referring to audio rather than video, although that would be nice too.
-
Add an option to export playlist as an album.
Specially when sending to an external device, so all the tracks will be copied /exported to the same external folder. No matter if the individual tracks where already in the destiny in their original album folder or not.
That option should also allow to optionally enter a new "Genre" tag and to change the album tag in the exported files to match the playlist name. Obviously the library versions of tracks/tags would remain untouched.
Like creating and exporting a "Virtual Album" on-the-fly
-
Can JRiver please give consideration to enhancing Theater View to include a NEW search feature. The present search facility is IMHO outdated and in need of a complete rework. By way of example, in addition to News, Gadgets etc, how about a Search function that can search for words within a film title or actors if selected. I appreciate that to some extent this functionality exists but it is so so old and is not at all intuitive.
I have just signed up for MC27 in hope ;)
-
Root Library items: Option for graphic icons instead of letters
Background: with more content managed by MC, the right navigation bar containing the root items (Audio, Images, Videos, ...) is growing longer. Even more so as one can add own root items to collect content of different media types of the same category. I, for example, added 'Mindfulness', which includes books, audio books, videos all related to this 'category'.
I am a visual person, and would love to show icons instead of the spelled-out categories (or a combination of both). Icons could be provided by MC, and/or uploaded by the user.
-
It would be great, if the displayed lyrics could handle special characters. Currently, there are often sequences of odd characters in latin songs, for example.
-
MC
I have two clients connected to a server, but you can currently not store two zoom values (I have seen that request also by two other users)
TVDB
Back to TVDB - With TVDB I had 2 missing descriptions (German) out of 3000 videos. Now out of the 100 new episodes in the last months I have 50 empty descriptions. If I would redo Get Movie & TV on my 3000 videos it would be ~1000 (rough estimate).
JRemote
- DSP on JRemote - App's of other vendor's have nice parametric equalizer etc. on the associated apple app
- wavform on JRemote
- Audio Path on JRemote
Other Devices
- JRiver on Apple TV 4K ( I am dreaming for MC Christmas present :) - but I don't expect it )
-
It would look very nice and retro a bigger spectrum analyzer at the bottom of the UI (optional of course). Similar of the Oppo HA-1 DAC.

I'd like discord integration.. so my friends can see what I'm listening to
-
In theater view file info panel, being able to select an actor, producer, director or others and then drill down to see what more movies that person is involved in.
-
Edit mkv metadata instead of sidecar xml, please.
-
Regular Expressions for library file inclusions.
-
Adding the possibility to rename channels instead of standard 7.1 channel abbreviations.
Using JRiver as electronic crossover with 8 channels (7.1 output), it would be easier if the
standard channel names (left, right, center, sub, SL, SR, RL, RR) could be renamed by the
user (i.e.: LowL, MidL, HighL, etc.).
This would make easier and less confusing to make the filter configuration so that each
channel name corresponds to each way of the filter.
-
I've long wished for a "Tasks View" in MC that would show a list either in the action window or the tree of the queued tasks that MC is working on. Basically when MC's status bar is indicating that it's saving changes to my library with a number of files remaining, I'd like to be able to see a list of which files those are and what action MC is carrying out on them (copy/move, rename, save tags, etc). This would be super helpful for times when MC seems to be stuck saving changes. I could go see what file it's stuck on and deal with it if possible. Ideally this task viewer would allow me to cancel 1, some, or all of the queued tasks.
-
Often I hear different classic CD's one after the other.
My config said "continual playing" as standard. But I would like to have a break after each classic disc.
I would like to see a option to have a 10sec. break between two disks
-
A visualizer for active PEQ filters would be really helpful, like VST plugins often give.
Here are a few examples, pulled randomly from google:
https://images.app.goo.gl/SYhN5m5djFkfHyc49
I requested this last year as did others (and it has been requested for several years before), but please can we have proper graphical representation of the filters/x-overs we have input in DSP. I know I can use the Analyzer with pink noise, but that is really only a crude respresentation of the filters.
Having good graphs would enhance safety - it's all too easy to uncheck a tweeter x-over and not notice when you have no visual representation for what you have just done. I have several active speaker systems - all with x-overs/eq done in JRiver and it works well - a visual representation of the x-overs/eq would be a major improvement here. After many years of using JRiver and its DSP function I no longer consider this to be a "nice to have" - it really should be a "must have."
Thank you.
-
The latter builds of MC26 should already have this, no?
no
-
JRemote
- DSP on JRemote
- Audio Path on JRemote
- Lyrics on JRemote
Thanks :)
-
1) Provide a (child :D ) locking method so the (x) Convolution tab doesn't accidentally get turned on/off.
Good idea
2) Allow the realtime ANALYZER display to have its own separate/independent window to verify proper channel orders and verify convolution XO low/band/high-pass filter curves are working as expected.
Both of these features would help those who use convolution for software crossovers and would add a layer of safety precautions (similar to volume protection).
Don't want to blow tweeters due to a single accidental misplaced mouse click waiting to happen.
Thanks much.

Any chance JRiver will create apps for streaming devices -- like the Roku streaming devices, NVIDIA shield devices (Android) TV,) Fire TV devices, and Apple TV?
My guess is most JRiver users have one or more HTPCs or Raspberry Pis, but I think the days of HTPCs throughout the house are limited.

My Ultimate List for V27:
1. Linking support for List Type in Theater View
- See the link.. https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,121770.0.html
2. Opus tagging for MC and JRemote native support
3. Enable adding of playing now info to Theater View template
4. Seemless communication between JRemote and library
- Shared playing nows example: I'm coming home from work and been using JRemote to listen music/podcast or watched video or whatever. Now when I come home I would like to continue to listen/watch on my home equipment and JRemote/MC could have trigger to move playing now items between MC and JRemote (or e.g. create playlist which starts from where I was currently). And same the other way round so if I leave home and want continue easily on the road
5. Podcast streaming support for Theater View (and JRemote)
- Podcasts episodes only appear in Theater View/JRemote if I have downloaded the episode. I would like just stream some of the subscripted podcasts without downloading
6. Add Playlist Group tree hierarchy for file adding to playlist in Theater View
- If you have many playlist it is very tedious to scroll to the right one. Grouping UI would help user experince considerably.
7. More JRemote centric wishes:
- JRemote to remember current playlist between sessions
- JRemote to be able to keep the current connection to library when I move from wifi to mobile and vice versa
- JRemote metadata presentation revamp. It's quite useless currently for dates and big data fields and if you have big data fields you need to scroll forever to find the ones which comes after
-
JRiver Roku app? ;D
-
JRiver for Android already runs on Android TV boxes like the Shield TV.
-
I've asked before so please forgive repeating...I wonder if when streaming a radio staion you could possibly record it with JRiver? I understand it used to be possible in earlier builds. When I stream now I cannot record the stream with Audacity, DiamondCut DC10, SoundTap Streaming Audio Recorder, etc. But if I use Windows MP or VLC they all capture the stream. Yes, I know it's probably something I haven't set up properly...I admit it!! Just though it would be 'nice' to be able to keep it in JRiver. Thanks (looking forward to MC27)
YES i have trying to get this work on JRiver 26 NO success? What i would really like a PAID PRO SUPPORT that i could call and get a PRO to help with configuation, setup . even if it cost $100 an hours it would be better than what i have now...

View > Audio Only Mode ?
I would like to see a SIMPLE PRESET as well for NON AUDIO people
Audio mode doesn't change the complexity, or settings that can be messed up by ONE MOUSE click
i have installed many JRiver and this is what happens to most of them
a simple setting would be very helpful and BTW you may sell more ....hmm!!

Please don't start discussions here. If you create a problem, you can often just restore a backup.

Alternate playback speeds, in particular for audio books and podcasts.
Good idea
Motivation:
- faster playback of podcasts. I listen to many, and often enough a 1.5 speed setting is still understandable and lets me get through more podcasts at the same time. Non-fiction books is a similar case.
- slower playback if, for example, listening to foreign language readings
Players like Apple Podcasts and Audible offer this options, and I use it frequently.

I've used Media Center since v9 to manage just about every type of file on my systems. Everything from recipes to financial statements. Media Center currently supports a wide range of file types and unfortunately not some that would make it a fully "digital media" management system. I would like to request that the team entertain the value of providing the user with the ability to define their own filetypes. In my current case, it would help me define projects as playlists and maintain all associated project files and media in one place and eliminate the need to hunt & peck through my extensive NAS system.
I am hopeful the team takes this into consideration or provides some direction on how to manage filetypes not listed in Media Center.
Thank you for an awesome product!!

More details might help.
-
When importing cue files, have the option to automatically copy the separately read files into actual separate files (which currently can be done with 'Rename, Move & Copy Files').
The reading into separate files fooled me into thinking that this splitting/copying process had already been gone through (read: I be noob).
-
Identify chapters and create one file per chapter when converting audio book m4b files to mp3.
There's free tools out there that do that, but I am sure that MC would be able to manage this more elegantly and efficiently.
-
I would love the ability for MC to natively stream video and audio to a Chromecast, either by appearing as a Zone and/or inclusion of the traditional 'Cast' icon from JRemoteto easily redirect output to the Chromecast.
-
Thanks for inviting feature requests. My number one request is for a smartlist that calls another smartlist to maintain the order of the called smartlist.
This would tremendously improve the capabilities for programming music the way I want to hear it.
Thanks so much!
-
I do really support this as well. Because you can never see in the F6 windows which preset is active.
So I would propose to write the active preset in the bottom line of the window - always visible.

Please integrate the possibility to convert in m4a/aac not lossless.
I mean "Advanced Audio Coding" (AAC) as native codec.
I currently use QAAC and Nero AAC but a native integration would be very good.
-
By far my biggest hope for JRiver 27 is that I can just get 1) my TV/Nvidia Shield/soundbar and 2) computer to play music together in sync via a wireless connection...
Please.

Request : an equivalent to WDM windows functionality in linux for all audio to benefit from JRiver DSP ?
-
I have been asking for awhile about this and understand there are impediments, but this is something I really would use. I only use MC to stream now, and I can’t upsamble to DSD256 over DLNA. I can do so when connected to the same DAC by USB and I can stream native DSD as DSD, but, over the network, I am limited to PCM in the DSP Studio.
Two thoughts:
(1). It can be done over a network. Roon, which I otherwise despise, can do it easily, and Audirvana does it, albeit with high CPU usage and some quirks, like moving on to the next track prematurely. I understand that neither technically is DLNA, but I can’t imagine that it’s network architecture that would prevent JRiver from implementing if it were inclines to do so.
(2). Network setup appears to offer DSD upsampling as part of the process of setting up the server, but selecting DSD from the pick list doesn’t enable that upsampling. If JRiver can’t or won’t get that option to list, it should be absent from the pick list or grayed out.
Also, I too would like the search function on JRemote2 to be universal rather than a search of the view then on the screen. I keep the defunct eos app around just because it does offer a universal search function.
-
I also would love to have a single library that is used by all clients. I maintain and edit my database on a general purpose computer but stream from a separate, headless NUC. After I add or edit on the PC with a monitor, I back up to OneDrive, remote access the NUC, and then restore the database to the NUC copy of MC. (I have tried syncing libraries in the past, but that caused snags not relevant here.) The ability for both installations just to access the same database would keep the work to a minimum and reduce the risks of making an error while moving between libraries.
-
You can do this already. More than one client can access the library at the same time, but only the first instance to open the library can edit it.
The library has to be available on the network and the secondary clients need to reload the library after it has been edited to keep it in sync.
-
Particles is a great feature that is trully unsuable because it takes to much time to create each particle. Right now it takes too much time for each particle to be created, and writing down the beginning and end time of each one and adding them later it is a bit cumbersome.
The following feature will tackle this problem.
I suggest an "advanced toolbar for Particles" on the Display (and for songs under the control button area I guess) with the following buttons "Start", "End", "(re)name, "Add", "Keywords"(customizable field or optional Library fields), and maybe -+ for speed; so that we can do it while playing the file. By pressing "Add" the particle can be added to library, or/and to a "new particles" playlist).
Additionally:
- The stacks list does not appear if I right click a file in the playing now playlist
- Ability to export them together with their playlist to portable devices/
- Ability to back them up, or/and even add this information to the original file.
-
jmone made an app that might help. Search for Chapterfy.
-
In the Startup Interface options (or somewhere else, like near the Search Bar), please add an option to "Remember previous search results". So for example, if I've searched for a specific album (to have it appear in my Library View), MC would start with that album already in my View, and the Search Bar pre-filled with my previous search.
This would more or less replicate the UI exactly as it was before quitting MC. Currently, the Search Bar contents (and obviously, the search results) are being cleared after a MC restart.
-
Why must the playlist order be alphabetically? For example, if I have two playlists:
Best Songs
Max Party
Why can't I order them,
Max Party
Best Songs?
Maybe I can and I don't know how, but it seems like I should be able to drag and drop them in whatever order I choose or utilize some other way to order my playlist anyway I like.
Thanks!!

My number one request for MC27 would be for a total rethink on how views are managed. The interface for managing views for panel being my biggest gripe.
If I make a change to a Theater View view, I then have to manually make the same change in the media server views area and also potentially in standard view too. Also, having view configuration buried in options feels inconvenient.
My suggestions. These ideas conflict with each other:
- throw all view config into standard view, views. Add tick boxes for "show in theater view", "show in panel"
- have sections in the tree for theater view and panel. Keep the "add from standard view" tool, and add an action to link the view to its standard view original so that changes made in standard view flow through to its copies.
My other request would be some work on panel. It is a very static website. I would:
Make a react-material-design driven site, where the cards would be akin to the "tiles" of standard view; containing customizable info under each thumbnail. This extra info could be hideable with a global toggle too.
The list would have a resize slider that reflows the list as you resize.
The cards would also be actionable too. So I'd be able to add a file to a playlist or rate it from the list.
-
OSD facelift
OSD could use some facelift and I remember that Hendrik mentioned that he was working on with something on that department. One idea which I have written before would be enabling tooltip engine to be used for OSD now playing info screen. Created also a quick OSD mockup image as an example how it could look like compared to current OSD. I'm thinking that central area could be user modified with expression language for different media types
-
This is an example of modernizing the interface. People always bring it up and Jim always asks for specifics. Thanks @lepa for making a great post for a nice feature.
-
Default values for panes
In pane view, I would like to have the ability to define a default value selected when you first display the scheme.
For example in an image view if my first pane is filetype, i want to have by default "jpg" to be selected. That way, my default view display standard files and only in a few cases I can easily display the raw files.
-
What about real time updating the progress bar? Right now it gets updated every second and the "jump" length it does depends on the duration of the playing file or MCs the window size.
That change could probably bring two benefits:
First one is obvious: some more eye candy which I would like very much. As I'm using MC always maximized seeing the progress always jumping isn't nice to see.
Second one is not as obvious and perhaps not even possible, but anyway: a click at the progressbar often brings the playback position only somewhere near the point you have just clicked onto at least visually. The effect of course is bigger the shorter the playing file is. With a more constant updated progress bar would be able to reach every single point clicked to.
Perhaps this is a nice little touch which could be added to the "modernize the interface" section ;)

VST3 plugins

- Playlist cover art :
I just found a crate in my basement full of old mixtapes (actuel cassettes :)) I made as a teen. I used to draw my own mixtape covers, so I think it would be cool to recreate these mixtapes as playlists in MC with their own personalised cover art.
- Genre and Publisher/Label cover art :
We already have Artists and Composers, maybe it would be simple to implement.
-
New Playlist Import feature:
• Imports text file “Playlist” array for query – w/limited key fields, i.e. [name], [artist], [album]
• Results of “batch” import and query = playlist of “candidate” tracks [within local library] that meet the basic criteria (none, one, multiple)
• way better than “manual” entry of each track in Smartlist query construct with separators, etc.
• Simple to implement
• Uses existing Library query functionality
This may allow for simple “basic universal” playlist import functionality - that sidesteps some of the problems associated with existing individual user library/storage architecture across multiple volumes - and resulting file path matching issues.
-
Ability to change subtitle renderer - lots of anime includes effects that need an external renderer and MC doesn't support it.
This would be a major benefit for Anime junkies like myself.
-
Ability to stream video to a Google Chromecast device (both video and audio - and audio only)
-
One feature request is, to have a way to save the backup library online, because sometimes as you lose maybe a hdd/replace or reinstall windows/others operating system and you don't have access to the backup you lose all the information, which is quite bad. Beacuse that information can mean years of work...

I actually like this idea but there's probably ways to do that now (e.g. setting up OneDrive on Windows and having MC use a folder to backup there, which auto-syncs).
-
Maybe in a feature addition to the MC27, can we have a change on how the image work in the tag window. Right now the only way to add image is by Custom(Image), but maybe extend this, we may be able to add also artist image on the tag window.
And other thing because when using the image there we can exclude the detail as the size/location and dimension of that image, which is stick all the time bellow.
And maybe... maybe, a chance to have overlay images?!.
PS
As this ideea/features I added some time ago, i'm trying again maybe some of you read and think about.
Thanks.

Well I was thinking at that because I hit a sittuation like that quite earlier and I wasn't be able to recover anything from my hdd. I know backup your files, but sometimes s**t happens...

An one click button that opens an editor of your choice to edit lyrics
Good idea

The missing piece in MC is that there is no way to add additional filters (ex: ratings) after the expansion and sorting of the artists.

jmone made an app that might help. Search for Chapterfy.
Chapterfy is a great tool to automatically add chapters to a movie.
Unofortunately, it does not ease the process of creating a database with reference video scences and categorize them in playlists. This can be done with particles, but we need a more functional UI to work with.
Therefore, the need for the following feature remains.
Particles is a great feature that is trully unsuable because it takes to much time to create each particle. Right now it takes too much time for each particle to be created, and writing down the beginning and end time of each one and adding them later it is a bit cumbersome.

OSD Reposition would be very useful in some cases (sometimes the OSD in Videos is out of picture and my beamer does not show it, because of masking).
So it would be very useful, if there would be a possibility to show the OSD in the picture or just to have an ability to move/ reposition the OSD.
Thanks
-
Thanks. Could you post this as a new thread and describe what's missing now? I've been thinking of something similar.
More details might help.
As an example, I use a variety of video & audio editing tools. Some of them have unique filetypes. For example, Pinnacle Systems has a filetype of *.axp which is not supported by MediaCenter. During the edit session, I will create a number of video snippets that could be incorporated into a chapter, and multiple chapters that can make up a DVD or ISO. There could be different flavors of each for language, DVD type,etc. It would be very useful to create a playlist that contained all of the assets (Music, video, images, and Pinnacle Project files) that make up a snippet in a playlist or playlists within a group that could make up a DVD/ISO, etc.

Would love to be able to create a smartlist (group by artists then randomize by artist) like the one described here, that was never quite able to be made:
https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=98934.0
The missing piece in MC is that there is no way to add additional filters (ex: ratings) after the expansion and sorting of the artists.
I finally figured out how to make this work, though it is not an ideal solution. I created a new custom library expression field and called it "Artist Favorites":
If(And(isequal(isrange([Rating], 3-5), 1, 1),isequal([Live], ), 1), [Artist],0)
This incorporates two additional layers of filtering for me after limiting the files to one per artist in the smartlist (rating greater than 2 and another customer field identifying if the file is a live version).
The smartlist uses the new "Artist Favorites" field to expand the list rather than just simply using the [artist] field. This is how the smartlist code turned out:
[Media Type]=[Audio] [Rating]=>2 -[Live]=[Yes] ~limit=-1,1,[artist] ~expand="artist favorites" ~seq ~sort=Random ~limit=-1,4,[artist] ~sort=[Sequence]
If JRiver could find a way to add additional filters in the smartlist wizard after limiting, this would be even easier!

MC 27 is rolling out to us users and I thank the JRiver Crew for that.
But is it ever going to be possible in theater grid view to select an individual artist, producer, director, genre, etc (that has many individual entries) and from there drill down in the database and see more movies from the selected artist, genre and so on?
I get the reasoning that MC is database first and it is up to the knowledgeable members of the forum to better the GUI in Theater view but not being able to drill down into the MC database from our main Theater grid view is severely limiting the fun we could have.
I find myself together with family often times wanting to know more regarding an certain actor, after we have watched a movie from our sofa, and having to, in Theater view, go up in hierarchy and switch over to Actors alphabetical grid view and then select the first letter of the actor and then scroll down to the actor before we could see more movies that that certain actor have been in is way to many steps and dampening the excitement of freely exploring the MC Database.
I have kept my hopes up for quite many years now, hoping that the next version will focus on Theater View database excitement.
Again thank you for a superb product and I will continue to support MC as it has way more pros than cons!

I'd like to make a request: Touch controls when playing a video.
I use a Surface and while it's great for everything, even navigating Media Center in theater mode, when an actual video is playing, it falls apart. You have to tap the top of the screen and then use the teeny controls, that while great with a mouse, aren't with a finger, especially when trying to jump through a video file.
It would be great to be able to tap the screen and have it pause. Or drag left and right to scrub through the timeline a bit. or swipe up and down to control volume. Kind of like many other players do.
Even if the simplest thing would be to give an option to 'enable touch' and then when you tap on the screen you get larger buttons to easily pause, play, jump around on the timeline, when you're in full screen mode for theatre (or however is easier to implement).

OSD facelift
OSD could use some facelift and I remember that Hendrik mentioned that he was working on with something on that department. One idea which I have written before would be enabling tooltip engine to be used for OSD now playing info screen. Created also a quick OSD mockup image as an example how it could look like compared to current OSD. I'm thinking that central area could be user modified with expression language for different media types
great mockup and great idea

Ability to hide/unhide views displayed by a client.
Currently, clients can hide/unhide zones.
I would like similar functionality to be considered for the views.

Feature request: drag and drop audio playlist creation from a directory into MC.
-
Some ideas/features about group header in standard view:
Ability to change the position text in group header in standard view (left/center/right);
Freeze group header, when using the freeze columns and scroll sideways the group header is not locked;
Play button inside the group header on standard view. (We have the play button inside MC folder);
- Right now if you want to play something in library view you have to select the files then right click and select what you want to do or double click the file.
Insert image file inside the group header;
Ability to add more than one line in the group header;
Move the group header above the fields.
-
It would be nice to be able to select file(s) and create a download link that could be shared with others.
-
a kind reminder to add a way to remove (and possibly reorder - up/down arrows next to the name perhaps?) a single track from Panel's playing now list

+1. Absolutely agree 100%. I need a show/hide views capability (context menu item) for views under AUDIO in the tree. For example, I want to hide most of the default views after I customize and save them under a new name, but show them again when needed. This will de-clutter my tree.
-
I have two view names in the Tree under Audio - Default Views and Other Views - under which I collect the original default views and some seldom used views. They are not hidden, but I put them at the bottom of the Audio Tree and they are very much out of the way.
-
I would love the ability for MC to natively stream video and audio to a Chromecast, either by appearing as a Zone and/or inclusion of the traditional 'Cast' icon from JRemoteto easily redirect output to the Chromecast.
+1. Currently I go through BubbleUPnP on Android to select music from JRiver server (or Minim server) and direct to Chromecast audio renderer. Eventually I will try JRemote2 on Android to do the same. But sometimes it would be more convenient to cast directly from JRiver on PC.

You can install BubbleUPnP on your Windows PC and then the Chromecast will show up as a DLNA device which you can use for audio output.

@dtc thanks again! Very very cool. I have had BubbleUPnP installed on PC all along, but the Chromecast renderers never showed up as JRiver zones. So I just messed around with settings in BubbleUPnP > Configure... > Media Servers and JRiver Options > Media Network. Now all is good: Chromecast Renderers show up as JR Playing Now zones. ;)

Glad it works.
Here are the original instructions from Bubbleguum himself.
You can now play to a Chromecast Audio (or regular Chromecast) with MC,
using the latest version of BubbleUPnP Server released yesterday to make your Chromecast Audio a DLNA renderer, then use
MC to play to it:
- Install BubbleUPnP Server (http://bubblesoftapps.com/bubbleupnpserver/) 0.9-update13, or update to this version
- in the web config, go to the Media Renderers tab
- select your Chromecast Audio in the list and check 'create DLNA renderer'
- in MC, select the newly created renderer in the 'Playing Now' section of the left pane
- play something
- music on Chromecast audio !
Eventually, look at the doc (http://bubblesoftapps.com/bubbleupnpserver/#googlecast) for more info on features and some limitations.

Add a customizable buttons ribbon (like Office suites) so users could populate it with shortcuts to quico access their favourite/most useful options.
There could be several "preconfigured" ribbons:
- To manage library: copy, replace texts in fields, apply tags, manage/create library fields, move/copy files, backup, import
- To convert/reencode: sync, view already in device, change encoding options..
- To manage playlist, zones...
The product is able to do lot of things, but many are buried beyond 3-4 clicks with their navigation path.

This combination gets you pretty close to what you're looking for.

I'd like to have a new field with the last date/time in which any field in the database which has an equivalent/mirror tag in the file itself was changed, like a change/mod in Name, Album, Lyrics, etc... So if one of those field is updated in the database this field will get a new timestamp. But this field shouldn't be updated when the file is played, added to a playlist, etc..
The already existent "Date Tagged" field doesn't serve to this purpose since it's updated just by playing the track, or by adding to a "playing now"
I usually don't like to write/update inmediately the tags in the files, but I'd like to have a way to filter/list tracks/files which the "taggable" fields are older in the file than in the database, just comparing the "Modified File Date" with the new purposed "Persistent Tags Updated" (just a proposed name).

Feature Request show / hide view capability - similar to show / hide zones (cont.)

Maybe an idea or feature request. When using the links in tab area as a icon is ok. Why I choose that way?! is because having too many links in the tab as text is overcrowded. Because that tab is also share the same space with the tab views. Making maybe a way to collapse the links tab or something in that area, that cluster of information may be better. But using the links as icon in there it create another problem when using right click method. They appear all, as icon and no information related to them, so I have to use my memory muscle to know which is which.
Icon on tabs:

I use JRiver in Theater mode with the Info panel as my "playing now". It would be perfect if that panel can show track progress like the Playing Now panel does, and even better if it can show current volume level.

Does MC offer any user-level control over the upnp:* (and other) fields used to convey track information for UPnP/DLNA playback?
With MC's capable expression language, such a feature would provide a nice way of dealing with various Renderer differences in field interpretation and/or display without having to actually rewrite tags. One could modify information as it "heads out the door" so to speak.
I think certain fields, like Composer, have come up numerous times over the years. If one has a Renderer that wants nothing to do with Composer or Role.Composer, you could still append a parenthetical "(Composer)" to an Artist field that is parsed and ship it out. Other than providing what would hopefully be a normal level of expression help to users, developers would then no longer be bugged with "could you add this field?" questions. ;D

Also adding here the request to view the lyrics through the web panel when playing/controlling from a web browser.
It would be really appreciated. Lyrics do help a lot for non-native english speakers, and It doesn't seem too difficult since it's just another text tag. A text box with that info with a scrolling would be more than enough in the html code which shows the playing track.
An on-click event or a small icon to switch between the cover and the lyrics could work really well.
¿ Could this be implemented ?
Thanks.

I support the show / hide view capability for the tree view. This would make the interface more relevant when connecting from different client nodes, would reduce the clutter and thus improve usability.

Enhancing the shortcut toolbar capabilities would be a great improvement to the interface.
The low hanging fruit (relatively speaking) is the ability to create custom shortcuts and add them to the existing toolbars on the top / bottom.
Ultimately requested: custom toolbar creation, toolbar docking both horizontally and vertically.
The vertical docking is essential given the form factor of modern displays which are stretched horizontally (there is more screen real estate available on the left and the right sides of the screen as compared with the top and bottom).
Dockable, customizable shortcut toolbars would work well with the split view feature - just picture what one could do with a custom shortcut toolbar docked on the right / left of the split view panel!
The toolbar feature isn't very useful. Very few options availables when comparing with all JRiver functions, dialogs, etc...
-
A lot of confusion / frustration for the new users could be eliminated by allowing any of the open tabs to be pinned.
The pinned tabs would have a visual indicator, always be there (persist) and survive the restart.
When a pinned tab / view panel is active, and the user is exploring other tree nodes:
- JRiver would then open a new tab without closing the pinned tab(s) - just would shift the focus to the newly opened one.
- The unpinned (regular) tabs would work as usual
In order for the pinned tab to be closed, it must be unpinned first.
Add the following commands to the right click menu of the tab (next to the totally useless "execute"):
-Pin Tab (inactive on pinned ones)
-Unpin Tab (inactive on unpinned ones)
-
It is time to reflect in the interface that JRiver is much more than a music player (a-la-foobar2000). That JRiver is primarily a powerful repository and organizer of digital content. Of course, the media player is its important (even essential) component, and must be viewed as such. However, it must not be an immovable center-piece taking a good chunk of the vertical real estate.
Request: Make the media player both dockable and lockable. E.g. one could then un-dock it from the default location on the top and re-dock to the split view panel on the left.

Jim,
I could only find references to Frozen columns, not Frozen tabs. I wonder if you would kindly point me to the article describing how to freeze the tabs ( I am using MC 27.0.21)
I have changed instances of J-river to JRiver in my posts above.
Thanks,
Ed

I posted this in the one-hour or less post, but suspect these could take longer than an hour...
1. video playback already offers options for playback more slowly than normal, but not an option to play back faster than normal. I play youtube videos at 1.25x most of the time, and very much enjoy the ability to watch something (educational) more quickly than normal. It seems adding 'faster' to the existing 'slower' options would not take long.
2. offer an option to force the detached video playback window to adhere to the currently playing videos' aspect ratio; so that resizing can be done by dragging only one side of the video and pulling/pushing and the window will remain in the correct aspect ratio.
3. increase the width of the area that allows you to grab a window, or scroll bar. it seems to be only 1-2 pixels wide at the moment, and requires too much dexterity with a 'fast' mouse to just grab the edge to resize.

In full screen Display View (showing cover art and lyrics), moving the mouse to top edge of screen drops down a temporary but stable view of the Mini View controls - a very nice feature.
When mouse is moved to any other edge (left, bottom, right) in Display View, the Mini View control pops out from top but it blinks on and off, pretty much useless. I see this on two different Windows 10 PCs w MC 27.0.26.
Request: Modify Display View so that moving mouse to left edge pops out a temporary Tree View, just like in Cover View. Selecting from the tree would close Display View and open Cover View, landing either in an existing tab (if it matches selection) or a new tab. Alternatively, just match <CTRL>+5 behavior with tabs at top. Mousing the Bottom and Right edges should either do nothing at all or be fixed to at least give a stable Mini View control at top.
-
When mouse is moved to any other edge (left, bottom, right) in Display View, the Mini View control pops out from top but it blinks on and off, pretty much useless.
I wouldn't want to see this removed. It gives users a quick way to see the Track, Artist and Album, without switching Views.
-
@RoderrickGI: My request is to leave the top edge functionality as is - it works perfectly to drop down the Mini View which is indeed very useful. Then replace left edge as described. Bottom and right edge should either be fixed to expose a stable Mini View like top edge, replaced with some other functionality, or do nothing, since they do not work properly as is, at least for me.
-

Please explain how this is any different than what’s done for coverart?
-
Understood Mark. The current functionality is fine for me, but I guess I wouldn't mind if the Control Bar stayed visible while my mouse was on the left, bottom, or right edge, as it does with the top edge. The issue with that though is that if you move the mouse out of the way and it hits an edge, the Control bar stays visible and covers some of the screen. As it is now, it just displays briefly and then closes. I think that is why it works as it currently does, to not permanently cover some of the screen.
But it is up to JRiver anyway. 8)

? I see no reason to move mouse out of the way in Display View since the mouse pointer vanishes about 1 second after you stop moving it, wherever it is.
I can see a use case for having the Mini View Control Bar pop out and then automatically close for at least one of the edges. The problem with current Left, Bottom, Right behavior is the "on time" is too short, about 1 second, and it tends to blink. If the Mini View remained visible for about 5 seconds and then disappeared that would allow enough time to comfortably read the track information without any additional mouse motion to remove it. If the Mini View "slid" slowly back, that would add an additional cool factor 8) . This may qualify for an under-one-hour fix :) .
-
? I see no reason to move mouse out of the way in Display View since the mouse pointer vanishes about 1 second after you stop moving it, wherever it is.
I meant physically move the mouse out of the way, or put an Airmouse down, and some other pointing device, all of which could consequently move the pointer on the screen, possibly to an edge.
A longer delay makes a lot more sense. Five seconds sounds good, or maybe three would be enough. Yeah, I think three. It does sound like a quick change.

I use both JRiver and Plex. I prefer JRiver for playing hi-res pcm and dsd audio on a high quality audio system, because it does not touch the bit stream. Plex tends to transcode certain audio and I can hear the difference with high quality recordings. However, for remote and mobile access I prefer Plex over JRiver, because you know who is using the system and what they are accessing.
I am surprised I cannot find any usage and security monitoring within JRiver MC. For security reasons it would be nice to be able to see which remote users and IP adresses are using JRiver MC and which media they are accessing.
At this moment I monitor and log the connections to JRiver with a separate TCP viewer on the host system. However, I still think MC should provide some basic usage and security information in de GUI.
For the rest I am very satisfied with JRiver MC.

Add cover art folder configuration for video files also (series & movies etc) to prevent NAS traffic when browsing (helps with MC jamming with disk access when NAS is sleeping)
Quick mockup:
-
Currently when a MC server has both authentication enabled and read-only access for everyone enabled, there's no way for library clients to select whether they want to connect read-only or authenticated. That means that clients with saved authentication credentials seem to "choose" one of the two at random (at least in my testing), and clients without saved credentials can only connect read-only (there's no way to even get to a credential prompt on the client when the server has read-only access enabled).
I would like a setting in desktop MC (probably in library manager) called "connect to server using:" and then have a toggle that can be switched between "authentication (if possible)" or "read only". If you toggle the setting, the client would then disconnect and reconnect with the specified configuration.
The use case is that I want most of my clients/remotes to connect read-only, but I want some "trusted" clients to be able to connect to the server with authentication. To be clear, I'm *not* asking for a similar setting for remotes like Panel or JRemote as that would present some challenges, I'm just looking for an option for desktop MC Library Clients.

My Ultimate List for V27:
2. Opus tagging for MC and JRemote native support

I want to do away with my MP3 conversions for ages (Opus works fine in UAPP for Android), the last thing I need it for is JRiver. Opus plows MP3 to irrelevancy, and I hope we'll one day see it supported properly on JRiver. My biggest wish for 2021 :]

Here is a brief summary of MC27 playlist behavior. Lets say I send a playlist of 100 songs to my DLNA renderer I listen to 25 tracks tonight, stop playback, saving the remaining songs for another day. Return the next day and click "Clear Played from Playing Now", followed by "Remove from List" for Track 25 [see previous post about "Clear Played from Playing Now"]. Now I am ready to resume playing the playlist that I started yesterday. So I select Track 26 and click either "Play" or "Play from here" and this is what happens; Track 26 plays, Track 26 plays again, then Track 28, 29, 30... play. Track 27 is never played it is just skipped over. Can this be looked into?

Hi JRiver team,
I use JRiver since v18 and at the moment most of the time in my cellar homecinema.
I tried with external DSP hard/software to improve the soundquality.
One of the things I cannot do with JRiver currently is to have more steep low- and highpass filters for the woofer and other channels.
In my high quality setup I can hear if the low frequency signal is coming from the front channel (e.g. car on the left with bass) or coming from my bass array (coming from everywhere in the front).
If I use external crossover and move to higher order (eg. 48 or better 96db/octave) I cannot hear the "wrong" directional informations from the bass array anymore - it sounds like coming out of the original channel.
So is it possible to get more than 24dB filters for multichannel sound in the room correction of the dsp?
Nice would be additional 48 and even 96dB/oct low- and highpass filters
Thanks and BR,
Erich

How about allowing a slope of 48 dB/octave for the low pass filter for DSD to PCM conversions for the 30 KHz and 50 KHz filters. The current 24 dB/octave slopes are not steep enough. A 50 KHz filter with a 48 dB/octave slope would correspond to the old Sony standard.
Thanks.

This might be a weird question but, would it be possible to make an alphabet bar on the right side of the list view of all artists? Sort of like JRemote has and it being clickable. Would be super useful for large libraries.
-
At the top in Standard View, Where it says Artists (or any delineation) with a down arrow, click the down arrow.
Select Customize View. In the pop-up box under settings, check-mark the box beside Display an alphabet.

I tried it and it doesn't work the way I had in mind, it jumps to the nearest first letter of a song, not first corresponding letter of an album artist that I wanted.

Mine goes to the first Artist of the letter selected.

As mentioned in this thread https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,128769.0.html, I would like that in video mode> advanced> aspect ratio in addition to stretch, crop and auto, there was also "crop black bars 2.35" function very useful for those who have a 21: 9 aspect ratio screen and cannot let madvr do the black bar detection for 4k movies, because it has a not very powerful video card.
also, I found that with films with different aspect ratios, such as Nolan's, JRiver's cropping is better than madvr's.
Is there any chance of seeing this feature added in one of the next builds?
Thanks for the work you do.

On Panel, using the back arrow to go back to the previous page now brings to the top of the page. It would be nice to bring you back to the previous position.

Cover art for grouping.
In views, when we group by some field, displayed groups are shown as stacks of items inside that group.
Exceptions are Artist, Album, Serie, Season ... for which MC will look for cover art inside specific folder that matches field name (e.g. fot Series field, MC look for cover art in cover art folder inside "Series" subfolder)
Is it possoble to extend this behavior to all fields? For example if i have custom field "Box Set" ... then in the View, i group things by "Box Set" ... MC will:
1. Look for cover art inside "Box Set" folder (located in designated Cover Art folder) ... and use that image for grouping
2. If that folder does not exist ... or specific item does not have cover art in that folder ... then MC revert to default behaviour of showing stack items
This will give so much custmomization possibilities. At the moment ppl who wants this behavior ... have to tag things around fields that support this behaviour (Artist, Album, Series, Season)
I recall a thread where "Artist" field was used for game console type ... in order to have cover art specific for that console (PS2, XBOX, etc) ... while it works, it feels more like patch work rather than true organization of your files by proper tags.
Additionally ... the limit of nested group in this fashion is limited to 2 ... Artist/Album or Series/Season
Hopefully this will be considered

Are you sure you're under Audio>Artists in Standard View?
Mine goes to the first Artist of the letter selected.
Here is the behavior on mine. It jumps to the 1st letter but it really should be the moved the 1st item not mid row.

MC in Client mode to download and show <img src> images from the server when needed. If images are inside tooltip folder then the folder structure will also match on both server and client. Currently you need to all the time manually sync images from the server to the client PC

Hi
I am another one that would greatly appreciate an improved convolver. I am trying to again get jriver playing via WDM and OpenLive through convolved filters for my active speakers. I also get frequent glitches that also cause the video to lose lipsync.
So I would also like to see partitions implemented in the convolver to reduce latency.
Perhaps implementing AVX-512 extensions would help with the processing involved. See here https://www.alcf.anl.gov/sites/default/files/2019-07/slides%20jeongnim%20kim%20FFT_MKL_Applications_4.pdf
More importantly would be to stop the glitches and long buffers needed when playing from the WDM driver and openlive.

Zero latency convolution, as described here
http://blog.reverberate.ca/post/zero-latency-convolution/
as implemented in BruteFIR would also be great.

Request: Manage shared files using a client (it would still be the server doing the sharing, but you could share/unshare using a client).

Please add "Advanced Audio Coding (AAC)" Encoder, for many audio files Lossy format is sufficient for me.
Sorry I did not make myself clear I mean encoder support for AAC not ALAC
