J River Media Center 19

A little of topic , but does anyone know if an APPLE IPAD AIR, with the JRIVER REMOTE will allow the IPAD to control a windows based laptop, so I can control my JRIVER music that is stored in the WINDOWS LAPTOP ? I have such a set up and am unable to get the two devices to sync up together . Both units are on my home network (ATT) and both are working and on at the same time, but when I load the IP address into the JRIVER app on the IPAD, it says unable to find another active device or server.

THANKS........

I use my iPad Jriver app to control my PC based music server, and it works smoothly and reliably..not sure why yours isn't synching..but its not an issue of Apple vs PC.

MRIBOB...
DO you recall when you set yours up, if you entered the IP ADDRESS on your windows pc into the JREMOTE app on the IPAD?, or did you input the key code (which by the way I am unable to locate on the registration email they sent me....I see the registration number, but the key code isn't available anywhere, even on the attached file JRIVER sent with the original registration ).

THANKS

Musicmann1 - by key code, I believe you mean the network access key for J River on a particular PC. If so, you can get that from Tools - Options - Media Network. The access key is listed there. You can also reset the network access key there.

The IP address is a good way to go on a local network if you set up the PC to use a static IP address on your local network. If you do not use a static IP then the PC may get a different address when it boots up and your remote will not connect.

Note - I do not use JREMOTE but assume it works the same way as J River clients like Tremote and Gizmo.
