Two different servers on one instance of JRiver?
« on: December 30, 2018, 08:03:31 pm »

Is it possible to set up two servers on one instance of JRiver?  Here's what I want - and there may be a much easier way to do it:  I want a separate server for FLAC and one for MP3.  Here's the reason - some of my hardware doesn't allow me the option to search by folder so when I want "Pet Sounds", for instance, I get the MP3 version and the FLAC version and there's no way to tell the difference (and I want to listen to the FLAC, but my MP3 folder is pretty much a duplicate of my FLAC file).
So I was thinking of having two separate servers set up, each one with a unique key code, one for MP3 and one for FLAC. 
Is this possible?

Thanks,
Drew

you can't do two servers on one JRiver unfortunately

one way is to change the album name (i.e. -mp3).  another way is to get different hardware :)

i have this issue with WDTV, it's hard to browse.  i mostly use chromecasts or other devices that i can control with my phone and a remote/panel now and avoid this one entirely.

You can show mp3 or flac a an option of the file. You can sort for flac or mp3

Why not set up a new library which contains only your flac files and use that to listen to your music? Can I ask why you are including the duplicate mp3 files in your library - it seems unnecessary?
