Title: Setting Theater View items to automatically Open Live (WASAPI loopback)
Post by: mojave on December 10, 2012, 12:44:12 pm
For those that use JRiver and the WASAPI loopback, it would be nice if we could set items like Hulu, Netflix, web sites, or our our own game links (Steam's Big Picture mode) to automatically use the WASAPI Loopback. Now that the loopback has been added as a menu feature, it would be cool to have a checkbox associated with a Theater View item that says, "Use WASAPI loopback." This would put JRiver in loopback mode for these items. For external programs, I'm not sure how the loopback would know when to stop. Maybe when JRiver has focus again?

Bump and +1!

I have added some video websites to Theater View, just using a simple "add website" and the chromium browser. Works pretty well, with the right URL and a password saved I have Sportscenter running from ESPN360 with a single link.

It would be great to add an automatic loopback to Theater view items such as these, and really take advantage of JRiver audio processing and features.

I could also see this working well for audio sites like rdio and spotify. Thanks!

Bump and +1 as well

This would be extremely helpful for me too, as I use JRiver's loopback for game audio playback, and it would be extremely handy to be able to conveniently launch a game from theater view with loopback enabled.  As it is, I can't really use JRiver as my primary "launcher" for these kinds of things, which is the only thing stopping me from leaving theater view on all the time.
