Evo-No-Revo Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I want to see if it is possible to play video on my PC/JRiver and route the movie audio through the MicroRendu. Currently I listen to music via PC>RoonReady>MicroRendu>PS Audio DSD DAC. But to watch video on the same system I am using PC/JRiver video playback and send the audio signal to the DSD DAC via Audiobyte Hydra Z USB bridge using I2S input on the DAC. I am using the Hydra Z because DSD DAC only has one USB input which I use the MicroRendu for. My PC is a Paul Pang built server and optimizer for USB playback. I have got the MicroRendu to play JRiver audio via MPD/DLNA. But when I try to play a video in JRiver via DLNA it plays the movie audio but only shows the video's thumbnail on my screen. I have tried everything I can think of in JRiver but nothing works. Though I have used JRiver for years I am out of guesses. I want to know if what I am trying is even possible? If so, how do I make it work? It would be nice to not have to have the extra box of the Hydra Z and the extra cables.

vortecjr Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I contacted JRiver and they said, "you can't divide video from audio that way." SONORE computer audio | opticalRendu | ultraRendu | microRendu | Signature Rendu SE | endPoint | opticalModule DX | Power Supplies | Link to comment
Evo-No-Revo Posted September 28, 2016 Author Share Posted September 28, 2016 Thanks for the confirmation!! Glad it wasn't that I just couldn't figure it out. I am already talking to Andrew about a custom server using MicroRendu/Roon/HQ Player and including an I2S Pink Faun Bridge to output JRiver to the Directstream. It should settle the front end of my system for at least a couple of years.....I hope.
