Why are you not seeing the player zone? Are you hiding it?

Docker configuration might be the problem.

Port 1900 has to be open for SSDP in order to discover devices.

Hmm, very unlikely, because in my case MC is not running in a docker container.

And I have to add: This problem only occurs with JRemote under iOS. With JRemote 2 and Gizmo (under Android) "this device" is offered in the same environment.

And I remember another user couple of years ago mentioning a similar problem that he solved by adding a zone (no zone at all before).

I believe there is a problem with the iOS JRemote code that runs into trouble once there is no streaming device available in the environment. To me it sounds like a bad or wrong termination condition in the first loop run while it faces no item. I assume the code should be similar like follows:

1. Start loop
2. Find device
3. Exit loop when no device found
4. Add "this device"

If there is an error occuring within the loop and this error isn't catched properly then step 4 might not be executed.

Just an idea....

Hi,

thank you all for your replies.

Bob was right : I did something wrong by hiding default Player zone on server side.
This prevented "This device" to show up in JRemote iOS app.

"This device" came back instantly in the app as soon as I selected "Zone > Show/Hide Zone > Show > Player" in Player menu on server.

In fact I am not sure to understand why... I use JRiver as a headless server on Synology NAS, so hiding default Player zone on server (which one is not able to play music by itself) should not block the ability to play music on the app itself, even if there is no other DLNA device active on network .. right or wrong ?

..In this case Light Ahead's post could be right ?

Again, thanks for your help.

In my case I have setup a second MC (as a client to my main MC) for accessing by friends from outside my local network. Why did I do that? Because I didn't want friends to see my local devices and start streaming media to it. What I wanted them to do is accessing my media from outside (via iOS JRemote) and being able to stream to "this device" only. Therefore I set up a second MC, opened the appropriate port and deleted all local devices. And as mentioned before this works great for Jremote2 and Gizmo on Android.

If there would be a way to hide my local devices from users accessing my MC from outside my local network I wouldn't have done that.

Any chance the iOS JRemote issue missing "this device" gets clarification or even a solution?

UP · « **Reply #55 on:** January 31, 2022, 08:19:24 pm »

Hi Team,

From an enduser perspective it would be nice if the JRemote app would also show under "Streaming" the entries like in the JRiver Media Center 28 section "Streaming". That would allow me to choose Pandora when added as "Featured Websites".

Maybe something to consider for the next upgrade of JRemote app.

Thanks in advance for consideration.

Uwe

Hello,

Is it possible to 'view extras' so I can see pdf's, cover art, etc. while listening? An older thread mentioned something about a paperclip icon but I don't see anything like that. thank you.

On my devices when there is no player zone, only a "this device" it shows up as default and works as expected.

Thanks Bob, I see the paperclip! But weirdly, I think I can only view JPEGs. Album covers are there, but not much else. I've been trying to see if there's some pattern to this but can't make it out. I definitely have many .pdf's and some .txt files in the same folder as the audio files and they are not showing up in Assets.

Great to hear this - though there are at least two users reporting issues with this.

Still I would prefer a completely different solution - that is to hide any zone to JRemote players which are not logged in to the zone's local network.

Finally I had to change to Plex to provide acccess to my music for friends that are accessing from outside my local network.

If I can't reproduce the issue there's not much we can do. To reiterate, I don't see "My Device" any more but I do see Default which is what "My Device" with no other zones is.

The zone hiding for non-lan clients is a good suggestion.

I need to add: Yes, "Default" is available, but once I start streaming music to "Default" the music's output device is not the mobile device but the computer on which MC is running. Did you only see "Default" on your device or did you also try and listen where the music is playing to?

bob · « **Reply #65 on:** February 14, 2022, 09:28:50 am »

It plays to my iDevice when Default is the only thing showing.

Stuck a bit right now since the new dev system messes up views and I've not figured out how to fix that yet.

Hi Bob, Are you still struggling with the dev system, or has fixing the quick jump on sorting excluding articles lost your attention? I am still hoping for a fix of this problem.

I still have the bigger issue regarding the format of screens, especially on iPads caused by the newer dev system API (really changes in iOS). I haven't forgotten the article jump issue.

Why does "this device" not showing up matter to you?
If there are not other zones showing and you are set to connect to "this device" as default, it simply plays to your iDevice, just exactly the same as if there was a zone and "this device" showing.

bob · « **Reply #73 on:** March 01, 2022, 06:02:19 pm »

FWIW, I just posted a beta that shows "This device" as default on an empty zone list. Beta testers, check for regressions.

Is it still not possible to do a global search covering music tracks/albums/artists?

I tried the only workaround I could find, which is adding all tracks to a playlist and then searching that, but I have too many tracks, and JRemote won't load the playlist.

You may have to turn on transcoding in JRemote for that MC server if the material can't be played directly.

Playing Now
Playlist view
Icon in lower left corner? (playlist position vs track number).

What zone are you playing to?
In MC check the zone's shuffle switch, that's zone dependent, each zone has a setting.

I'm having this problem with JRemote when adding a playlist to playing now it always shuffles the tracks. I want to play in the playlist order.
You mentioned about a Zone's shuffle switch. I can't find such a setting in MC 29.

In JRemote, Playing Now, make sure the zone you want to change is selected (bottom left target icon on an iPhone).
Then upper left right underneath the time slider 00:00 is the shuffle control.

Shuffle Mode was checked off.
It's when I add the Playlist to Playing Now that it shuffles the list.
When viewing Playing Now, select Action/Clear "Now Playing" and then Action/Load Playlist, the playlist loads but it is shuffled from how it is saved in MC. In fact, every time that process is repeated it does a new shuffle.

If I use MC and load the playlist to that Zone it doesn't do a shuffle.

So, I went to bed last night without solving the shuffle issue.
This morning with JRemote I set the Zone to This Device (iPhone) and loaded a playlist, and it didn't shuffle. Later I went back to the previous Zone (Sony TV) where it was shuffling yesterday, and it didn't shuffle this time. I've tried it over and over and it always loads in the Playlist's order without shuffling. Whatever was happening yesterday is now gone so it appears to be operating correctly.

When viewing "Artists" on the ios version of JRemote, each artist image is one of that artist's album covers. However, this image changes regularly, not sure if daily or what the schedule is. My question is this - is there a way to choose which album cover is displayed for a particular artist, and keep it that way, rather than having it change randomly? Thanks!
