JRemote

It is good to see that the bugs that were reported regarding the previous version have been resolved.
5 stars again.

In my opinion JRemote needs to be re-written from the ground up to make it useful again.
Some complaints, many in regard to playing to the local device:
- The app doesn’t use the entire screen real estate on a modern iPhone.
- Connect over ssl is not possible.
- The global search function is broken.
- Annoying Audio Streaming Error messages without a probable cause.
- It’s missing features like download for offline listening, crossfade and volume leveling.
- After pausing the music it starts again at random moments.
- No carplay support.
Complaints about JRemote for iOS are ignored on the JRiver forum. One person suggests that JRiver for iOS is abandoned (I think it really is) and the owner of JRiver replies with ‘You’re just plain wrong’.

JRemote is a great app, except for its notorious “Audio Streaming Error”-messages (ASE).
Because you didn’t, I switched my large Alac-library to multi-track Flac. JRemote now finds every album and track. So switching back to individual tracks is NOT an option.
1. Regardless of which track of an album I choose, JRemote (version 3.29; iOS 13.1.2) plays the first track of a multi-track Flac-file (+cue-file).
More severely, but not unexpectedly, a similar error occurs when shuffle-playing a genre or other groups of albums. When playing an album, track two is played after one, et cetera. JRiver (25) does not have any issues (in this regard).
2. JRemote does not play any video. The screen remains black.

The search in the entire library (the magnifying glass on the left) isn’t working anymore since the last iOS update. Search inside a folder still works.

An album giving ASE plays correctly with Webgizmo. Correct the Error!

Far to difficult to make a standard skin. Not user friendly for simple media center use. And than it is to expensive.
For example: trying to add a track to your favourites is almost impossible!

J Remote is an excellent app and well worth it s money.
It s a pity there is no manual for J remote or J River,
There should really be one for there are so many possibilities
to make it work in your favour.
I myself use the audio files option so the info is the same
as on my computer.It took me days to find this option so,
be customer friendly an make a manual please.
Apart from this I enjoy the benefits of this app daily and the regular updates are a real plus.
It s speed in finding the information is tremendous even if you have more than two harddisks on your computer of each 5 GB.
Anyway,had to write this review because when a product
works more than well it earns a good rating.
Excuse me for my English writing,don do this thing on
a regular base.

I use this app for UPnP control of my Naim streamers. Compared to the Naim app, JRemote has so much more functionality and works seamlessly with JRiver MC. For instance you can rate music, add comments while playing on the Naim. The inputs are immediately available on JRMC.
After some familiarisation it’s easy to scroll through the various screens.
The only bug: when adding text in the Comments box, Every Word Gets Capitalised!
I Hope JRiver Can Remove This Annoying Bug....
Thanks in advance!

Very nice when it works. IF it works. The connection is often lost between for instance my iPad Air en JRiver's media center running on my laptop. Tried endlessly to re-establish contact. No idea why it is lost, no idea why at some point it suddenly returns. And I don't have these problems with iTunes' remote and other apps using the same infrastructure.
It's a real shame.
UPDATE: Found out that the culprit is the authentication in the media center (options-media network) on the pc. When I check that box and I use the correct login on jremote, I should beable to remotely delete a number or add to a playlist. That only happens sometimes. Often the connection with the mc is lost and only restored if I uncheck that authentication box. Still a shame because I find it a great feature. And I really appreciate the rest of the app.

What can I add to the caption? I am fully satisfied with the combination of JRMC and JRemote (JRMC running on a Mac Mini, JRemote running on several iPads and an iPhone)

Works perfect as a JRMC remote control. I'd like to see the possibility to configure different transcoding options for cellular and WiFi. Also offline playlists would be nice.

Als afstandsbediening voor jriver media center perfect. De hinderlijke bug: Als je muziek naar de iPhone streamed en vervolgens op pauze drukt gaat de muziek weer verder als je de app verlaat.

De app werkte meteen goed na het invoeren van de code. Eenvoudig om mee te werken en zeer innovatief.

The update for iOS 9 works well, no more crashes. Thanks guys ;-)
Update: the search button on the bottom left of the screen, causes an immediate crash when tapped upon.

Needs a fix rapidly, it doesn't work anymore om iOS9. Although the developer preview of iOS9 has been around for a while

It's a great app, but unfortunately it doesn't work with iOS 9. We need an update and we need it fast. I can't play my music now.
