Try Tailscale.  I believe you can install it on the machine hosting JRiver in your home and then install it on your phone.  Start by signing up at tailscale.com and watch a few youtube videos if you have trouble setting it up.  It is working for me, but I'm using Unraid and JRiver in a docker with an Android phone. Tailscale is pretty amazing.

Yes, make sure you set it as an "always-on" VPN in the Android VPN settings. I've also found their DNS servers to be wonky so I disable them in the settings (MagicDNS name resolution still works).

I've never seen this happen and I've been using JRemote on Android for years. If I ever noticed this happening I would've reported it as things like that would bug the hell out of me. In my case all cover art in my library is JPG 1000x1000 and is embedded in my FLAC files. Is the cover art embedded in your files or an external (e.g. folder.jpg) file? Is building thumbnails enabled on the server when importing? You might also try the build missing thumbnails option if that's the case and not all are built on the server.

All cover art is embedded in my FLAC files and some are bigger than 1000x1000 as I often scan them from the CD booklets when there is no decent art found in the databases brought up by my ripping software. No cover art is missing on the server instance of MC.

The problem only presents on JRemote2 (or the Apple version or the prior Android version) when controlling a client instance of MC.

It is related to the thumbnail size setting in JRemote2. It happens very regularly with the size set to Large. Set it to Medium (or another option) and suddenly your missing thumbnails appear correctly. Switch back to Large and the albums in question revert to blue music symbols again.

I've seen this behaviour at least at three friend's houses.

Just to be clear, your JRemote is connected to MC, which in itself is connected to another MC server?

In this case the issue is likely with MC itself lacking the icons for some reason. I can try to see if it reproduces easily.

Correct. But the server instance of MC has no missing thumbnails and none of my albums have missing cover art. Cover art is embedded in every FLAC file and there is also an "Album Cover.jpg" in each album folder which is not used by MC. The client instances of MC show all the cover art correctly.

The missing thumbnails are only on the phone or tablet.

I agree that it's probably an MC problem as it shows up no matter which controller is used. I've seen it on iPads and JRemote/JRemote2 on Android.

Add: Trying to upload screenshots.

1 is with thumbnails set to Large showing missing cover to left of Superman soundtrack. 2 is with thumbnails set to medium but before refreshing the screen. Horowitz cover shows. 3 is after refreshing the screen to show the medium sized thumbnails.

Was asked to leave my review on the site.
Issues:
1. When opening any playlists that's large (over 400+ songs jremote 3 will either freeze and crash or just crash. The same setup works great on jremote 2.
     Trying to shuffle play a large playlist causes the same issue.
2. While in any playlist, if you rotate your screen you get kicked back to the root directory and have to dig through your setup to find your spot again. (Present since jremote 2)
3. While in any playlist, if you rotate your screen you have to re-rate 2-3 times to get the rating to stick. (Present since jremote 2)
4. If the track that's playing doesn't have an album name, won't display Artist or album, see screenshots. (Present since jremote 2)
5. When playing a track, there's an extra space between "[Artist]  - [Album]" vs "[Artist] - [Album]". (Present since jremote 2)

I will report any more findings as I come across them.

That should be fixed in the next build, available in a few days.  Watch this thread:  https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,140408.msg974631.html#msg974631

I have reported the same behaviour, and I was also seeing it with the previous JRemote 2.

Rotation resetting the position should be improved in the next update as well, let us know if it still happens in some scenarios then.
