Title: Help! I Am New And Lost
Post by: Jim Creek on May 06, 2023, 02:19:45 pm
I bought the SD Card with JRiver preinstalled for my Raspberry Pi 3b+. I don’t have a touch screen for the RPi. I assumed I could access it remotely from my iPad thru my WiFi. I don’t have a URL for JRiver.

I downloaded the remote app for JRiver for my Macbook M1 but it won’t connect until I enter an access key. I can’t access the key because I don’t have a touch screen for my RPi.

How can I get started?

Help!

You'll need to connect your Raspberry Pi to a display (TV, monitor, etc.) along with a keyboard and mouse to set things up in Media Center like Media Network, along with importing your media (and mount any drives, e.g. a NAS, to the Pi if needed) before you'll be able to use a remote like JRemote, Panel, MO 4Media, etc. It isn't a plug SD card into Pi and use right away type of solution, it does require setting up and configuring things.

OK, I got the picture. Now I know how to proceed.
