JRemote (iOS) 3.37
« on: May 22, 2023, 10:31:48 am »

Changes in this build:

  CarPlay support.
  Clear remaining in a playlist. Requires MC31 (because it needed an additional MCWS)

Fixes in this build:

  Top spacing on notched devices with large fonts.
  Quick jump on lists when article sorting is enabled (only server articles are used now).
  Fixed some crashes when switching networks and coming out of sleep.
  Lyrics and Bio's overlapping headers from the beta builds.
  Layouts and (i) button on iPads >= iOS13 from the beta builds.

Hi. I just have a little time to play with this (I will have much more time after I retire in July!).

iPhone 14 Pro Max
  • Tap Playlists
  • Tap a playlist
  • Scroll up and down
  • The "< Back" Playlist name, and other header info is covered by the header graphic

I posted two images, one how it looks when you first open the playlist, and one how it looks after you scroll a little

It's waiting for final approval.
When it's released it will be a phased distribution. I'll post here.

Sorry, I’m sure I’m not thinking.  How do I add an entire album to the playing now queue (without selecting each individual track)? Selecting “All Tracks” overrides the queue and starts with the first track of the album.  Don’t recall having this issue before.  Thanks!

Long touch/hold on the Album.

I don't know if it depends on the one touch mode icon in the upper right just to the left of the track display mode button. I don't mess with that much.

Hi,

I appreciate the effort to continue development for JRemote and I really love this app, BUT I have lost the Wake-On-LAN functionality with version 3.37. I had to install a dedicated utility to wake up my Home Theatre PC using the same data (IP address, MAC address) stored in JRemote. Any idea or fix?

Regards,

Are you connecting with the access key or IP address?
It's possible something changed because we are using a newer SDK to build JRemote than 3.36 used. We'll take a look.

Hi,

JRemote initially uses MAC address / IP address for WOL; once the target PC is up & running incl. JRiver application, JRemote will use IP / port and access key to connect and control the application.

It's the initial WOL that no longer works with 3.37.

Long touch/hold on the Album.

Thanks for the response.  Yes, the above works: thanks. 

Just for the record, previously, selecting the album, long pressing the first track presented an option to select all tracks to add to the playlist.  This also worked in the following way.  Long pressing any track below the first track and selecting all tracks would add all the tracks including the long pressed track and all tracks below.

I have always had the default tap mode set to 1+ "Add to "Now" Playing.  I never change that.

This is not a large issue, just inconsistent with previous versions and provided a nice option to easily section a portion of an album.

That "All Tracks" still shows up for me on an individual track. It's to the right of the selection tab.

blacked out for me. iphone 13, ios 16.5

Edit: it does function differently depending. One variable is the zone: playing to my Rendu (in the house) is different than playing to my iPhone.  All track is blacked out using both zones but for the first play to the rendu, it adds all the album songs.  This is not true playing to my phone.  Once something is playing (rendu), (regardless of the default tap mode) all existing playlist songs are replaced with the new album.  I have to back out to the album view, select the album, and choose add to now playing.

I don't think it's that it doesn't work, just that the theme makes it hard to see.
There have always been some differences between how things work on the local device as opposed to remote zones.
That has changed a bit since in MC30 and MC31 there is now a "zone" that represents the remote device (only the most current) which has some, but not all, functionality of a real hardware zone.
Nothing regarding playlists or zones has changed in JRemote itself.

Bob, thanks for the patient responses.  Last post on the subject: promise.  Something changed in this function.  Been using JRemote way before it was purchased by JRiver.  It is the perfect partner for Media Center on my system.  Thanks again.

If you have MC29 or later you might try comparing the behavior with that to MC30/31. That might help us figure out where it's different.

I'm currently using MC31 (all the comments above are based upon running MC31).  I loaded MC 30 (was still installed on my music server) and the "All Tracks" function, as described in my previous posts is the same.  Downloaded/installed MC 29.  Had to reconfigure, etc.  Managed to get it working on my network and JRemote connected.  The "All Tracks" function, as described in my previous posts is the same.  Thanks again!

Hi, I have just upgraded to a master version of JRiver 31 and installed on two Macbooks and a laptop running Windows 7 the latter had my previous JRiver 19 installed, JRemote 3.37  is installed on an iPhone and iPad and happily still works with the old version 19 but cannot communicate with any of the installations of JRiver 31; I'm obviously doing something wrong but struggling to get to the bottom of exactly what the problem might be.  Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

You may need to set up Media Network  [wiki] and use the new Access Key from MC31.

All sorted now, just needed to locate and type in the correct access key for each individual installation;  BTW can someone please guide me in how to remove old redundant servers from JRemote - thanks.

Hi Bob (and other hard workers), I still can't get the "Ignore articles" right. Can I add articles in other languages in the server (I tried in Tools->Tree and View, but no results)? How do I code the articles (separation with ??; is the order important?).

Thanks for the information. I found one (funny) exception: for some reason the French plural "les" is not recognised as an article, although I put it in the list.

I'm a newbie to this concept so a few of quick questions please. Can Carplay be used in late model hybrid BMW's & Is it better to load JRemote into the car's own internal Phone/Internet system or keep it on my iphone? BMW apps/screens do not play everything downloadable!  If both, do I need to buy two copies? So as long JRriver is running on my PC and connected to the net all my Media library is available to play?

That's enough for now thank you ..... cheers


Changes in this build:

  CarPlay support.
  Clear remaining in a playlist. Requires MC31 (because it needed an additional MCWS)

Fixes in this build:

  Top spacing on notched devices with large fonts.
  Quick jump on lists when article sorting is enabled (only server articles are used now).
  Fixed some crashes when switching networks and coming out of sleep.
  Lyrics and Bio's overlapping headers from the beta builds.
  Layouts and (i) button on iPads >= iOS13 from the beta builds.

Curious if with the integration of CarPlay if there is a way to select “player” as the zone as opposed to the just “this device”.

I run a headless PC in the car(s) with its own network and would like control from CarPlay as opposed to the phone.
