JRemote for audio only
« on: March 03, 2020, 11:04:14 am »

I will pay $100 for an audio only IOS app. Who watches video through JREMOTE? Cmon. I want this app to play music only. With a simple search function and the right aspect ratio on an Iphone X.

Thanks and maybe if we all pull our money together we can make this a priority.

Don't think posting this will make any difference. It still all depends on being able to reproduce the iOS 13 related issues.

I reproduce these every time I open the app. Clearly, no one is addressing this. Do they need help? I'm serious. I'm a software designer SR. Whatever we can do to help.

As far as I know, reproducing it on the device is one thing, reproducing it in the Xcode simulator where it can be debugged is another, which from what I've read Bob posting, has been the issue.

Just to add my €100 to the exact opposite use cases  ;D
- Geographically distributed family members can use their iOS (80%) devices to easily watch this "IT and movie family's" latest bluray purchases (buffs like us who like Criterion, MoC editions of Bergman etc, not found on mainstream Netflix)
- Backing up 2 Android phones' videos to the server, thereby making them available and pretty close to a "Family photo stream" on other family members iOS devices (without comment)
- I like my iPad Pro 9,7" a lot more than any Nexus or Tab I've owned. Performance, screen calibration and the Eco system are big points in my book
- seldom stream audio (flac) to my ios devices since Spotify is good enough for the type of listening I do with a mobile device. Critical listening is made with some boxes, cables and speakers in an acoustically treated room

So, I'm (and the rest of the family) very happy to see Bob making progress on this issue. I can really see the closed garden of Apple being a pita for devs and no  remote debugging or having access to OOM dumps (thread or heap) sounds awful.

Now it does seems the issue weren't how to adjust the consuming of the video stream ("Apples broken component", the "validator is not complaining" sort of deal) but a more common "the video player API we were using has been removed"...  ;)

I work in a highly protocol based IT domain and IMHO this is mostly a communication issue the owners of API's are facing in a lot of places/industries. "If it ain't broken, don't fix it", no one starts to test and migrate to newer versions until the day the legacy ones are removed in Production and all hell brakes loose  ::)

Let's hope Bob finds the search and other GUI stuff and that this mediaAPI version will be here to stay a few years and JRiver thrive enough to invest in a JRemote2 around iOS ~17

I can't get my JRemote to sync with JRiver. It won't recognize the license number or IP address.

Try resetting the Access Key on the server.  Turn Media Network off and back on.

Are you trying to connect from outside your LAN?

I'll move this to a new thread.
