Changes: Added a setting to enable replay gain to the device zone.

[This2ShallPass]

Can someone translate this down one level of technical-ese for me please? 

[JimH]

Wiki or Google?   Replay Gain is volume leveling. Files must be analysed first.

And if you look on your MC server tags for your audio files you will be able to see if they have replay gain values filled in.
If they do and some files are louder than others because of the way they were recorded or mastered, turning on this feature will even out the volume on the playback device, in this case the iDevice that you are using JRemote on.

For other zones, like the player zone on the MC server, the equivalent option is in MC's DSP studio.

Gonna ask for a time left in the playing now queue feature one more time.

Thanks!

I am not sure if it is in JRemote or not, but is there a way to turn on/off subtitles for video when playing locally to the device?  I can't seem to find it.  If on the server (or a PC client) I watched the video with subtitles enabled, then on JRemote, watching the same video, subtitles are working.

Can't seem to find in JRemote where the toggle is for local playback.

Thanks!

It may depend on if they are embedded or separate files. At any rate go on the MC server and play the video to see if they are enabled in the library for that item. If so, turn them off there and try in JRemote again.

it's more of a question as to whether there is an option in JRemote to toggle subtitles when playing back on the device.

I can toggle on/off from the server, and JRemote will follow that configuration.  What I am asking is whether or not there is a toggle in JRemote itself

No.
I'm not sure if could be added either since the device zone isn't a real zone.

I found it: with video files that contain subtitles (e.g. as a separate track), there is an option to toggle subtitles during playback in JRemote.

For much of my media, it's all particles pointing to .mpls files.  In those cases, the subtitle toggle is not available.  Saves a TON if disk  space since I do full backups and then use particles to point to eg individual episodes.

Another question - does JRemote support mp4/HVEC encoding?  I have several files of that container and codec, and while audio plays fine, the video just shows the Apple Quicktime logo centered and on a black screen.

this is for local playback as well.

Thanks

Can you guys tell me why there are no major upgrades done to JRemote (as for MC) and just bugs fixed over years (perceived)?

I’m sure, my personal wishes (5 star and list choice custom fields, change option for DLNA controller options) are some of what folks would have…

[JimH]

Bob has done a lot of work on JRemote.  The fixes were important. 

No major changes are planned.

[gulp]

Yes, sorry, I didn’t want to be negative about the work put into the fixes!
The question was more, why are no major feature extensions even planned?

As everyone nowadays in my understanding uses a tablet to control his streaming (instead of sitting at a PC to do so), I’m wondering how much MC is extended and how little JRemote.

[shAf]

Is there any possibility for sorting album by date, instead of alphabetical?

[gulp]

You can define this in your JRemote views definition when building custom views.

I see no such capability… least wise, with JRemote (iOS). That is, I do see in setup the capability for it to show album art by default, but not for sorting

[shAf]

Is there a possibility to restart the media server without restarting the computer?  That is, your implementation of restarting the computer does not restart the server, even if it’s configured to automatically do so.

I am able to simply restart the computer locally that will automatically start the server, but JRemote’s remote restart is somehow different in that nothing restarts automatically without first logging in.

I don't think you can make that assumption.

[shAf]

I don't think you can make that assumption.

Regarding using tablets for JRemote, my iPad mini doesn’t allow for sorting capabilities either.

At least my iOS devices will show the date along with the album’s track list, but JRemote2 (Android) does not. In fact, the Android version provides no way to determine the date unless you show the metadata while actually playing…

Edit… I just like to play albums that I’ve chosen relative to the artist’s evolution…

[imeric]

CarPlay is now working without crashes good work! However there is still an issue where if you start JRemote with CarPlay… it will start playback just fine however CarPlay controls don't work unless I skip a track on the iPhone then it will work just fine in CarPlay…

And if I may squeeze in a request any chance to get live tv playback with JRemote ?

JRemote will show any view you create in MC (under Media Network, gizmo, etc views).
I think it should show any sorting you create there unless I'm not understanding what you are trying to do.

Please help me out here. I can see nothing regarding sort preferences for JRemote in the settings section for the server. All I see is for web access (e.g., Panel).

Can you point me at a section in your Wiki? Thanks!

Tools->Options->Media Network->Advanced->Customize views for JRemote, Gizmo and Panel

You can also simply type jremote into the search bar at the bottom of options to find it.

Subtitle options in JRemote?  Options to turn on or add to files from within the app?

[imeric]

How do i get JRemote to play live TV through the _Television Smartlist?
The only thing it does is show the Channnel Thumbnail and nothing plays...
Everything else plays fine (TV recordings, home Videos etc...)

Thx!
