• Apple Buys DarwinAI Ahead of Major Generative AI Updates Coming in iOS 18

  It's not for everyone but I've never been happier with OpenAudible [0] + Plex [1] + Prologue [2] [0] https://openaudible.org/ [1] https://plex.tv/ [2] https://prologue.audio/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• Maybe easy maybe hard maybe impossible?

  I am not sure I have been reading up on qbittorent proxy in just the last few minutes and it looks like I would have to pay for a proxy server then have all requests sent to that proxy server in which would then send them to my qbittorent? Am I in the general ballpark as to how to make this work? If so I may just keep doing everything manually like I have been doing for years until I get the nerve to try all this....

• I messed something up and now I can't delete and reset server fresh no matter what i try.

  Has Sync Watch State & Ratings ever been enabled for your account (Settings)? If so, then the server is pulling the info from your account at plex.tv. Source: 5 months ago

• Yet another help with remote access - Plex and Nginx

  I'm pretty confused about what the missing link is here. Usually it works fine on LAN, but sometimes is marked as indirect or insecure. The mobile app seems to work on WAN, but not usually plex.tv. Can anyone help me understand how plex networking works? Thanks! Source: 5 months ago

• So. . .given lack of Roon support and recent acquisition by Harman. . .any realistic alternatives?

  Https://jriver.com/ It does a lot of what Roon does. It also includes local videos and youtube. Source: 5 months ago

• What is the best mp3 player that also displays the album art while the file is playing?

  It's not free, but I'm a big fan of JRiver Media Center and have been using it for many years. It is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Your license will last forever, but you do need to pay for major version upgrades (once-per-year). I'm an audiophile with a substantial library and I'm personally happy to support efforts like this, but I get that paying isn't for everyone. Source: 12 months ago

• Newbie question about volume control in my streaming setup

  I use JRiver Server with my WiiM Pro and it works flawlessly. Source: about 1 year ago

• Why can’t they abstract?

  I suspect another commercial product, JRiver Media Center, might be more flexible than Mezzmo (less arbitrary about what you can and can't do), but it sounds like the Android and Android TV client is probably a mess. I've never done a setup with it. Source: about 1 year ago

• program for ripping CDs with correct metadata

  Many media players support ripping 1 disc at a time at least. Even Windows Media player can rip to wave and FLAC. Foobar2000 is a good option here. I personally have my library in JRiver, which isn't free, but I've been happily using it for many years. Source: over 1 year ago
