Jriver on MacOSX: Does it work with AU plug-ins?

[wgscott]

Sorry, I know this is a RTFM question, but I tried.

[wgscott]

Should I assume this means "no"?

[jriver]

Sorry, but what is an AU plug-in?

Apple's version of VST.

 

In my case specifically, what I really want to get is player software that will permit me to use Dirac room correction (which I've already invested in) in the context of network playback. If Jriver can do this, I would saw my arm off with gratitude.

You can hang on to your arm. We'll take a look. No promises.

JRiver Media Center for Mac supports VST plugins, but not AU. Many plugins for OS X are available as VST as well as AU, but some only as AU. Maybe the Dirac plugin is available as a VST plugin for OS X? Otherwise you could try using the built-in convolver in Media Center.

They also have a VST plug-in. I never tried it. I thought it was windows-only. I will take a look. Many thanks to both of you.

I am using the DiracLive VST plugins with JRiver on my MacMini. However, the Mac is running Win7, not OS X, because my OS X experience with JRiver was inferior.

I just tried loading the VST plug-in, and I think it will do the right thing (trying it on a non-music computer at the moment so this is a bit of a crapshoot):

 

 

It seems to crash Jriver waiting for my credentials, so it might be less than stable.

Thwarted, after I got it all set up and apparently working...
