2. Fixed: The app service would sometimes crash.

24.0.13 (12/20/2018)

1. NEW: The app now runs as a service, which allows it to keep system resources when in the background or sleeping. This will cause more of a drain on batteries if the service is running when the device is asleep.
2. NEW: Added a notification window with some playback control options for when the device is locked or the app is in the background.
3. NEW: Added a quit option to the menu in the action bar that will properly stop Media Center.

Okay, this fixed the crash on playback I was seeing in JRiver for Android 24.0.21.

I can connect to the MC server on my phone from MC on my PC, which is acting as a Controller+Renderer. Playback works on the PC. The phone is visible and selectable as a Zone in the Client PC as well.

I can connect to the MC server on my phone from MC on my PC, which is acting as a Controller. Playback works on the phone. The phone is visible and selectable as the Zone "There" on the PC.

I can select music on my phone and push it to the MC installation on my PC acting as a Renderer. The PC is selectable as a "Play To" location in the phone settings, in JRiver for Android 25.0.15.

But I can't play to the MC installation on the phone from the PC, pushing audio to the phone, using a local library on the PC. In this case the PC is acting as a MC Server and Controller, while the phone is acting as a Renderer. Playback tries to start as shown on the PC, showing the progress bar up to five seconds, and then gives up. All that happens on the phone is that Playing Now is cleared when I hit Play on the PC, with the phone Zone selected.

The Audio Device selection in JRiver for Android 25.0.15 seems to work, in that audio is directed either to the phone Player or my PC installation. But the setting always shows "Select One" whenever I go back to the settings page. I would expect it to show the current selection.


The custom JRiver notification looks good, and being able to close it now is even better. I can save battery when not using it.

I just tested from Windows, MC 25.0.15.  I dragged a file to my phone (under the top section of Playing Now).  That worked.

Make sure your phone is allowing Notifications for JRiver.  It's under Apps.  We're wrestling with this issue right now and it will probably change again.

Any idea when video will be working?

New version is working pretty well here. Just get gapless playback working, and I won't have to use alternative apps anymore.

Just get gapless playback working, and I won't have to use alternative apps anymore.

We'll try to get that soon.  Thanks for the suggestion.

I couldn't split it cleanly.
