INTERACT FORUM

I should add that the PC is running Windows 11 23 H2.

I am using my PC and JRiver to listen to Amazon Music Unlimited over HDMI to an Anthem AVM70.  I am currently using the DSP function to encode the datastream (using WDM driver) from Amazon Music to Dolby Digital (AC3) and send that to my AVM70.  This works perfectly, except it is limited to 48Khz sampling rate.  The Audio Path shows JRiver is downsampling the incoming 192khz rate to 48khz.  Dolby D+ supports much higher data rates.  Is it possible to encode the incoming stream to Dolby D+?  The AVM70 does support DD+ and 192khz sampling.

also...
In theater view, if you're using a remote, when you get to the list, the number buttons work like the ones on your mobile phone...
2=abc
3=def
and so on. It works well, out of the box.

For standard view, the horizontal alphabet bar has been in MC for quite some time, but I don't think that exists in theater view.  That said I don't use theater view much, so maybe that's something that has been added in recent years?  Others can probably answer that.

In addition, I am pretty sure MC's "panel" interface (a simple no-nonsense interface https://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Panel) has a horizontal navigation bar/slider built-in to accomplish what you want. It does seem logical that such a bar be built-into theater view as well, as an option users can choose to show or not.

All that said, you can group artists (or albums, or genres, etc.) right now by a single letter to make a compact display of thumbnails or lists in Theater View to quickly navigate via a few simple clicks versus endless scrolling.

Read about zones on the wiki.

I've only been looking at the built-in scrolling interfaces within Theater View... I clearly need a different interface with the direct-access letters as shown in your screen cap! I haven't seen that built-in to MC, so I will investigate.

Yes yes yes 1 million times YES!

I have been wanting to submit this as a feature request for many many years now.  I always figured it would fall on deaf ears though, so never have.  But now that you have opened the door, might it happen? I am hoping that by adding my two cents, maybe others will also indicate their desire for JRiver to implement what would be a huge GUI improvement for navigating options. 

In addition to keeping the expanded/collapsed states persistent until a user manually changes it (as Mark suggested), could you include an expand all/collapse all button in the upper right corner of every page?  Using menus also obviously works, but buttons on each page would be quicker.  And honestly, MC has so many (too many) menus already, with most of those requiring navigation to submenus to activate the option you want.

That said, thank you Mark for requesting this, as it is long overdue.


FYI:  The expand all/collapse all buttons could simply use the same button images currently used to expand/collapse the playlist header, so existing skins would not require new images to support this "new" button request.

Why is there no A, B, C, D, E, F.... nav bar so I can skip straight to any part of the alphabet instantly. Why should I have to scroll through 300+ video titles to get to the end of the alphabet?

This already exists as shown in the picture, and has for a decade or more.  You just have to set up your views to manifest it.

As for the extreme slowness you are experiencing, I will leave it to others more knowledgeable than me to help you diagnose what might be going on there. But I think it's safe to say that if it were common for MC to take 3+ minutes to open, and even longer for other operations, the forum would be ablaze with people rioting. 

With regards to MC handling large libraries: I'm aware of a number of users who have well over a million tracks and are able to efficiently use MC - so I don't think your library's size is the problem.

Make sure you add MC33 and its files (JRService.exe, JRWeb.exe, JRWorker.exe, etc.) to the exclusions in Windows Defender otherwise this issue can happen, likely due to Defender trying to submit samples to their servers to scan.

Is it possible to remotely choose which connected DAC MC plays to? I have JRemote on both Android and iOS, and Gizmo on Android as well, and although they are great for finding and playing music, I don't see any way to interact with the Tools settings on the host computer. I have two different DACs which I prefer to select for different genres of music. Would be great of I could quickly and easily switch between them without going into the other room where my computer is to manually change which DAC is selected. I've also tried Default hoping it would auto switch based on which DAC was powered on and connected, but that didn't work. In fact, when I change DACs in Tools ->Options, I also have to restart MC otherwise the change doesn't take effect. I suppose I could use Splashtop to remotely access the host computer, but was hoping for an easier in-app solution if possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
