![]() ![]() ![]() Over the last two months, I've demo'd MC to over nearly 100 people at Audio society meetings. Where you've really blown it is in documentation. MC is capable here, but the user experience lags. Along with that, networking capabilities and compatibility need to be augmented, so that everything networking related is easier, so it is easier for a user to make MC their home media hub. The way a user has to learn to build theater views is dreadful. Theater View needs to be improved and made slicker, with better view building. Speaking from my own personal perspective, there are lots of competing products that offer 10 foot interfaces (AppleTV, Roku, etc). Please tell us what we need to do to make JRiver a more perfect media world. We always appreciate specific suggestions. User interface issues always come up in these discussions. Record or download to a server, view or listen on another device, in another location. We'd love to support more, but there are so many. Anybody remember when we had nice support for Netflix in MC? Netflix pulled their API, probably to please the movie studios.Ĭloud services have exploded. Rights issues prevent us from doing much more than we currently do. TV has drifted toward movie services like Netflix and Amazon. Instagram and Whatsapp by Facebook, for example. Those that have gained a big following have often been purchased. We've supported them as well as we were able, but there are millions of apps and very few make much money. We've spent a lot of time on it recently with Radio JRiver, Cloudplay, and support for Radio Paradise. So we've kept our powder dry, waiting for the right moment. We've witnessed this first hand and seen millions of dollars wasted. We also know how difficult it is for the services to make money. We built services for Best Buy, MTV, Televisa, and others. Ironically, this is an area we worked in a lot about a decade ago. On the audio side, streaming is much more important than it was five years ago. Here are some trends I see, just to give you a start. So tell us where we blew it and what might make JRiver better. We rely on you to keep an eye on the market and trends. This is your turn to tell us where we've gone wrong, missed the boat, spent months in the weeds. ![]()
