Hi, I have a PC running jriver media centre 18, and I am trying to get it working with my Pioneer N-50 streamer. Since the pioneer's app user interface is utter rubbish IMO, I decided to buy the JRemote app as an alternative to the Pioneer's app.
I am using the Pioneer N50 as a DMR digital media renderer in stead of the full streamer in my case, so I can use JRiver's app to push music to the N50. When I use the JRemote app, and I play music from my JRiver media centre on my pc on to my iPhone or iPad, it works flawlessly. Play/pause/stop/next/previous track skipping works instantly, along with fast forwarding and rewinding. However, when I change the "zone" to my Pioneer N50, the playback controls are somewhat, lagged with a big latency of around 2 seconds, also I lose the ability to fast forward and rewind my music.
I have a full cat 6 wired gigabit network from the streamer to the PC, and a router capable of ac speeds, although my idevices run at 'n' speeds. The system is able to stream to my iPad/iPhone with virtually negligible latency (with transcoding of the flacs and AAC files turned OFF) but its getting problems; no way near as slick as playing on my idevices.
I really hope I can get some help here.
Thanks.
