JRiver, iPad and Amazon Echo
« on: July 13, 2017, 02:38:16 pm »
Hi

I recently bought an Amazon Echo which I hoped to use with my iPad and JRiver app. Alas the sound constantly breaks up.

I am trying to stream my music on a HTPC running Windows 10 and JRiver 22 to my iPad and then bluetooth connect to the Amazon Echo as a speaker. However, this just results in heavily broken up sound. iPad is only a few inches from the Echo so does not look like a Bluetooth range issue.

As additional tests I tried the following:

  • Streamed to iPad using iPad speakers - music plays fine so suggested WiFi connection is strong enough
  • Played music locally on my iPad and Bluetooth connect to Amazon Echo - music plays fine so suggests bluetooth connection is OK
  • Moved devices closer to WiFi access point - no improvement

Has anybody managed to get this type of setup to work?

Are there any other ways to connect JRiver to my Echo?

Many thanks

I don't have an Echo, but do you have this?

I don't have that Amazon Skill yet. As far as I understand that Skill would allow me to control my JRiver player by voice commands but it doesn't stream the music as the Amazon Echo is not a DLNA device. It would be fun to use this Skill once I can get a good music connection.

At the moment I am struggling to get the music to play on my Echo.
