Hello,
I have not been here for a while and may have asked this question before.
Can JR Media Center (whatever version or which version) accept audio beamed
or streamed to it and distribute that audio stream to various renderers or
speaker systems that are within the same network?
In other words, can JR Media Center operate like AirFoil which I use on Mac OS
where the audio is accepted in JR Media Center or Kodi and I use AirFoil to
send, forward that audio to various speaker systems within my network such as
Yamaha R-N803, AudioCast, Denon DRA-800H, ChromeCast devices, even
networked Televisions, etc.. All can , through AirFoil selecting each speaker
system can receive the same audio distributed.
My issue is when I run Airfoil on Windows, the audio is choppy (Mac is better).
So I would like to have JR Media Center do the distribution of the audio
directly without going through or using Airfoil. The computer whether MacOS or Windows
can run JR Media center and accept the audio beamed to it from like a smartphone,
tablet or another computer fine.
Now I just have to get JR Media Center, if it can, send that audio to multiple renderers
it can see within the intranet. I was experimenting with Zones and Zone Groups thinking I could
add various networked speaker systems in a group then have the audio beamed
to that group of speakers of that zone group, but I cannot get it to work if J River is
even designed to do that. To me with the myriad of options the software provides,
I think JR River Media center could potentially do what I would like (Airfoil functionality),
but maybe I am not selecting the right options and need assistance.
Thank you for any assistance you can provide or suggest and if it cannot be done, just
let me know so I can stop wasting time with it and I will just use AirFoil
