JRemote is a full featured native iOS remote for JRiver Media Center. JRemote was developed to offer you full remote control of your JRiver Media Center from any of your iDevices.
Please note that you need JRiver Media Center version 15 or later. We recommend you always run the latest version.
Features and specs:
Universal app
JRemote is a universal iOS application. The application will run on both iPhone/iPod touch as well as iPad’s. Each version is optimized for it`s screen size.
Navigation
JRemote uses the navigation setup from JRMC itself. This allows you to customize the navigation menu and sub-menus from within the JRiver application.
- Multiple view modes (list, imagelist, thumbnails)
- Search using JRMC`s fuzzy search engine
- Virtual remote for controlling theater view
DLNA and zones
Use JRemote to control all your DLNA supported devices. Any device supported in JRMC can be controlled from JRemote by switching to that specific zone.
You can link and unlink zone for multi-room playback.
Easy setup
Connecting to your computer is fully automatic, no need to enter your IP-address and Port number.
You only need to enter the access key found in JRMC`s option panel (We do provide an option for you to add IP-address and Port manually if needed).
- JRemote will let you connect to your server from outside your wifi, using standard mobile networks. For this to work you need to configure port forwarding on your internet router.
- Wake-On-LAN is supported if you provide your machines MAC address. (Automatic when adding a server by access key)

Overall, great app for controlling Media Center remotely from an ℹ device. Would be a big improvement to be able to shuffle the list of songs presented when you get search results. Make the results a temporary playlist you can shuffle, sort, drag-and-drop song order and be able to save the resulting playlist.
Solid app overall that could be great

Been using this app for many years. Great overall interface and reliable for home media playback. There are a few things that could take it to another level:1) Fix the quirks in the UI. Particularly on iPad, the floating playback controls at the bottom are too high up and there is a large gap with whatever you are browsing behind it. Should be closer to bottom with no way of clicking anything accidentally behind it. The close out playing now list on the right also partially covers up this controls at bottom. On the iPhone, when you click into a list of tiles, there is a 1+ inch gap at the top of the screen before the list of files are shown. Looks odd and doesn’t happen on iPad. The folder icons look old school and should either be fanned cover art or fronting more modern looking. 2) While CarPlay support technically works, it is super slow to load, navigate and play audio files. Also the process for connecting should be streamlined so essentially the app can run in the background on iPhone, and all the user has to do is open the app in the CarpPlay interface and ‘it just works’. 3) Would love to see offline storage and playback options. Media Center on windows does not sync with iPhone so a way to do that with JRemote would be amazing. There is another app that works with Media Center that does this, buts it’s cumbersome to use and the overall polish of JRemote is lacking. 4) Finally there is no HDR video playback support. There are many other iOS apps that have offered this for years including Plex and Infuse.
SAVE YOUR MONEY!!! USE JPANEL

The description is misleading. The app is not a full remote at all. It does what JPanel does and little more. I was expecting, among other features:- to be able to use the television feature- to see the streaming bookmarks I added to the streaming menu- to be able to adjust Options without going to the computer None of these and other features I was expecting are available ORif they are available are hidden in a thread somewhere on a bulletin board and not readily accessible. I thought I would have something resembling the standard menu structure but instead have essentially JPanel with the ability to turn off the computer. In brief, a waste of money and subsequently time in trying to search on line to retrieve instructions and fixes. Time and money, indeed life is too valuable for essentially no value added software. JRiver Media Center is good. JRemote is not.
From GREAT to a pain in the ASSETS...

I’ve been using JRemote on iPads going back to the 3rd generation, and by far the coolest feature was being able to access any artwork included in the albums directory. Now some 12 years later I’m on an iPad Pro and yet there’s no way I can view cover art. I know it’s not the fault of my JRiver Media Center setup. Any assistance would be most welcome.
