One level of technical clutter was removed – I didn’t have to fuss around looking for my home Comcast IP address. There is built-in help to share the access key and allow others to stream the library to their own computers. I filled in the access key, my notebook consulted J River and was pointed to my home computer, and in a moment I was able to play anything from my home library on the notebook. On my notebook, with the same version of JRMC installed, I clicked on File > Library > Connect To Library. Clicking on Options > Network > Library Server > Register your server generated a unique “Library Server access key” that was transmitted to J River’s servers. The library server has worked well for years but I ran across one new feature that makes it far easier to stream your library over the Internet to your computers at different locations.

MEDIACENTER 15 UPDATE
There are some limits – some video formats cannot be streamed through the library server, for example – but on the whole it beats having to update multiple copies of the library around the house. The main computer controls the library and streams the media to the other copy of JRMC. Once JRMC is installed on a computer with a library full of music and photos, a checkbox can be ticked to share the library around the local network to other copies of JRMC.

MEDIACENTER 15 UPGRADE
I followed the upgrade instructions (backed up my JRMC 14 library, then restored it in JRMC 15) and was up and running right away.
MEDIACENTER 15 INSTALL
The license is activated online each time if you install the program more than ten times in the course of a year, you may need to contact them and reassure them that your motives are pure, but they’re very pleasant about it. J River uses a license scheme that permits the program to be installed on as many of your own computers as you like. Since I had a previous version installed, the upgrade price was only $21.98 instead of the normal price of $49.98. The emphasis now is on remote access and sharing in every direction: using a portable device as a remote control for the program using the program to play music and videos in multiple zones in the house support for DLNA, a new industry standard for sharing media that I find completely baffling streaming music to mobile phones and much more. Anything that touches your music library, your photos and your videos should not be taken lightly!ĭevelopment has begun on J River Media Center 15, as the company continues to add features for the rapidly evolving multimedia world. If you’re not familiar with the program, then please go read my write-up a few months ago, where I tried to make it clear who it might appeal to – and more importantly, who should not consider it.

Long time readers know that periodically I mention J River Media Center, the program I’ve used for many years to organize my embarrassingly large music library.
