Thanks for the suggestion, Chris.

Thanks. It's amazing that it runs on a board with just 512MB of RAM.  Yes. It's really MC. Only the GUI is removed. Possibly. We haven't implemented the remote control that would be needed, though you could probably use VNC. This particular hardware doesn't support that, but it's doable in the future. The card is an 810 and I can't speak for StreamUnlimited on what they plan to do with it. We think there are other hardware opportunities since it runs on such minimal equipment now.

Sure. It's a GUI-less version of MC, intended to be used as a server or renderer on ARM hardware. We ship it with an SSDP app for Android that makes finding it on your network easy. Then you connect to it with a browser. It runs a server that lets you load the webapp that allows configuration. I know it's kind of an obscure concept, but it's a nice headless solution. What else am I missing?

Gizmo or JRemote? We're working on the Android version of JRemote now. Panel is an easy to use interface that runs in any web browser. https://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Panel You could try it now if you have MC installed. Type localhost:52199 in your web browser on any machine where MC is running.

Audiophiles are people who love music. The rest you describe can generate a lot of noise.

For any manufacturers who may be reading, we're announcing this today: NEW: Blackbox Version of JRiver Media Center Aimed at manufacturers of audio and video hardware, a new "Blackbox" version of JRiver can now be hosted on ARM hardware and provide Media Center features such as Library Server and DLNA / UPnP, without a user interface. All control, including setup, is done from a phone, tablet, or PC. An Android app makes it easy to find the device on a network. JRiver has partnered with Austrian system integration company, StreamUnlimited Engineering, to build products for manufacturers.

Here's the page on the JRiver Id: https://jriver.com/Id/ All of the Id's have some storage. The Id 300 has a 120GB SSD. They all function as a server or renderer.

I'm posting a few JRiver Media Center 25.0 links here. HDCD Support https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,121124.0.html Cloudplay (lossless streaming) https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,120166.0.html iTunes Import https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,120942.0.html New in MC25 https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,119217.0.html

You may have followed JRiver's entry into lossless streaming during the last six months, but there are some new aspects that expand the experience. Here's a quick summary: Cloudplay uses playlist uploads by users to generate Radio JRiver stations. https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,120166.msg830680.html#msg830680 You can listen to your playlists or those of others from any location, using JRiver. JRiver pays the license fees. It's listener supported. You pay what you think it's worth. It requires JRiver Media Center 25. It's 100% lossless. We've just added the ability to generate playlists using a seed file or files that you provide from your local library. MC then finds compatible files from our server and adds them to your playlist. This is effectively a custom radio station. More here: https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,120871.msg835668.html#msg835668 Enter any artist, for example, in Play Doctor and here's what you get. I started with a local file from Etta James and allowed "more variety", but 100% from the server. The file locations are shown on the right side.

Both Windows and Mac builds are now on the Download Page: https://jriver.com/download.html Not too many problems at this point. There's also a thread about a new agreement between Spotify and JRiver: https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,120137.0.html

Firewall?

We've just posted early builds of JRiver Media Center 25 for Windows and Mac on our forum. If you purchased JRiver in 2019, you received an MC25 license that works with both. Installation instructions. Thanks for the support.

Preview builds are now available. https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,118417.0.html It's a port of JRiver Media Center, with the Panel web app interface. It is a media player for Android and it can play files to a DLNA Server. The pre-release price is $9.98.

I'm sorry if anyone wasn't notified. We mailed every address we have. It may have gone to a spam folder or you may have previously unsubscribed. I apologize for this very serious breach of trust. It's inexcusable. Here's the announcement we posted on August 20. https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,117123.0.html To summarize the damage. 1. Our commerce and license servers were taken offline immediately and were down about 5 days. 2. The attack used SQL injection and we should have prevented it. 3. No credit card information was lost. We don't store any and never have. 4. Email addresses probably were taken. 5. Passwords were probably taken, but we believe the encryption method protected them. 6. We recommend that JRiver forum passwords be changed. https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?action=profile Again, I'm extremely sorry. Jim Hillegass CEO, JRiver

We build something like what you're looking for. https://jriver.com/Id/
