iOS (and Android) bug when trying to play to a JRiver access key server (not the device running WR) which is a client of another JRiver "main" library server

craigmcg1965 — Sun, 24 May 2026 16:12:24 +0000

The connectivity is Whiskey River on Ipad or S23 connected to JRiver access key jrJiax which pulls the library from "main" library server access key TmdofT.

When I ask WR to play to jrJiax the app screen shows playback but there's no audio output on the desire playback device jrJiax (my laptop) but the playback actually comes from the "main" library server TmdofT.

My expectation is that actual playback should be on the access key server specified in WR (jrJiax in this case) NOT the access key that is the main source of the music (TmdofT in this case). If I wanted playback to be on Tmdoft, I would connect to that access key.

Can this be corrected in both versions as dev time permits?

Hi b10w....You will have to explain using the Play Doctor feature. It's not something I don't think it's something I can directly add to the Android Auto screen. I've already put it in the options context menu for tracks/albums for the next release, but I don't think adding it directly into Android Auto is possible unless there is another app/remote that does it please let me know.

The change to casting is great news; really looking forward to v1.4!

Streaming to device you have the ability to choose orginal format or transcode (Audio Settings). But all casting is being transcoded to mp3 streams for max device compatibility. However I just added the ability to do the same (audio settings) for casting streams to devices in the next 1.4 release.

Downloaded V1.3, but I am still seeing everything transcoded to MP3 when accessing my JRiver server and casting UPnP to my amp.

If I cast local content everything is as expected, so it is accessing the JRiver server that is the problem.

None of my DLNA servers are configured to use MP3 and my Media Network Conversion setting are to "Do Not Convert Audio"

I see the same behaviour using my LG V60.

If I use the access key and try and play on my phone nothing happens, presumably because it is trying to access my server using the outside IP address instead of the local one.

But if I use the server local IP address it works (sort of)

If using the accesskey, it is "supposed" to prioritize internal over external if both are avail, and especially if only internal is avail. Sounds like there is bad logic or error affecting the logic in determining what it uses. I will run some tests and get a fix in for the next release for 1.4 in a couple weeks. Thanks for the heads up and I will reach out if need more info, and update this post with findings.

Right now I'm internal LAN, no SSL, port 52199, JRiver 35.0.70.

I setup the server in Whiskey River using my JRiver access key. I now notice that after doing that if I check the server settings in WR it shows my external IP for the address. I believe the access key should return all interface IP's MC server is available on including external and internal. I do not have any port forwarding at the moment to access the server externally so that IP won't work. I would assume the app should test all ip returned by the access key and use whichever works currently.

If I force WR to connect to my MC local IP things work and playback fine. I believe the way apps like JRemote work is it looks up the access key at each startup then tests each ip to find one that works, starting with any local ip's then trying external?
