No movement in JRemote when play is pressed

[Rotur]

Having recently jumped on the JRMC and JRemote bandwagon, I find that I cannot get JRemote to play. (Were talking the Mac version 20 btw) Have configured the server to see my mac mini and pointed jrmc to my dac as output... All fine. When I click on a track in JRemote the Transport bar doesn't move and there is no sound, even though the bottom left panel displays 'now playing'...

 

I'm sure I've probably missed a basic step but any ideas greatly appreciated. Dac is via Usb into the Mac mini (Teac AI-301DA)

In the bottom left hand corner of the Jremote screen, the Zone needs to match the zone as defined by the Teac DAC for instance. By default, Jremote picks the ipad. This doesn't match the output characteristics from Jriver so you could get the situation of hearing nothing and now playing is right.

 

I gather you've setup Jriver to share libraries, with the code provided by Jriver when the share is opened.

I have picked the Teac in JRiver as output and the option at bottom left is showing Player which then shows the Teac in the submenu as the selected device as per my screen...

To answer your second question, yes JRiver set to share libraries...

Now resolved... My nas (Synology 413j) went to sleep. Soon as I woke it up all good...

 

Which begs the question... Is there a setting in Synology to prevent it going to sleep or at least wake on network activity?
