JPLAY for iOS

I should also note that JPLAY for iOS has a partner program for manufacturers. If people want to see manufacturers of their hardware support JPLAY for iOS, they may want to reach out to the manufacturers. I know they listen to customers about this stuff. They are often too busy to follow the developments themselves.

There's nothing exotic about how my setup is configured. I'm happy to provide any logs or debugging info you may need, but JPlay is the only app that has issue discovering my servers and renderer. So I do not believe the problem is on my end.  Additionally, my solution with MPD is the exact same thing used in sonore products

Sonore products have the option to function like UPnP or openHome renderers. There's a check box for apps like JRiver to work with them etc...

If there is no VPN connection, my HQPe->NAA cannot be found by Jplay,

But as soon as you connect to the VPN, everything goes well!

Please see my connection diagram:

That's the most bizarre thing I've ever seen. VPN, if it routes traffic through the VPN, would make it so nothing on your network can be seen by your device.

What I'm saying is that their UPNP implementation is umpdcli + mpd

Yes, me too :~)

However, they have a configuration option that enables the renderer to appear in more apps.

What I'm talking about is IOS device connected to VPN!

Oh yes, I get it and I believe you :~)

It's just the opposite from every other device I've ever seen.

Is there a good alternative for Minimserver for use with Jplay for IOS?

 

 

What features do you need? Is there an issue with MinimServer you want to resolve by using something else?

It’s not a Minimserver “issue” but a choice in JPlay, Minimserver can read Artist and AlbumArtist (note the tag name whiteout blanks) but unfortunately JPlay does fill Artists with Artist tag metadata.

This is true in My Library and Local Network Artists view

.

AlbumArtist tag is shown only in album details view

.

A workaround could be to use the Artist.merge property in Minimserver tagValue option that should be as follow:

Artist.merge={AlbumArtist}

in this way Artist and AlbumArtist will be merged in the Artist tag.

To use this property the paid Minimserver is needed.

Gapless is not a Minimserver “thing” in the sense that it works without exception, I use SOtM sMS200/MPD&DLNA, RoPieeeXL/UPNP/DLNA (on Raspberry Pi4) and HQPlayer embedded as UPNP renderers without any gapless issue.

Gapless mostly depends on the renderer and not on the UPNP server (Minimserver) at all.

 

What renderer are you using and which is its configuration in JPlay?

 

This seems to be a issue due to some damaged tracks and the conversion to dsf that works is a proof.

It happened to me too and I solved it opening the tracks in Audacity and exporting them as flac again.

   

…. it seems that the root causes of your issues are not related to Minimserver then switching to another mediaserver will not solve them.

    
I’m a long time (10 years more or less) Minimserver user and I know it quite well, if you need some support please ask, I’ll be glad to help you.

I knew you'd come through with such great information. 

P.S. I'm working on my JPLAY iOS review and keep asking myself, I wonder if @stefano_mbp will be correcting half of what I write because he eats, sleeps, and breathes this stuff :~)

Hi Guys, my review of JPLAY for iOS and iPadOS is up. Please go easy on me, it wasn't written for the experts in this thread :~)

I have just stopped using JPLAY iOS in my dual PC JPLAY Femto setup, six months into my subscription. I found that there were issues with the display of cover art which, while annoying, were not a deal breaker. I stopped using it due to the fact that selecting an album would, on a daily basis, result in the playback of a completely different album, although the JPLAY iOS screen displayed the selected album. All customer support provided by PLAY failed to fix the problem. It's not for me. I've gone back to BubbleUPnP. It doesn't sound quite as good as JPLAY iOS but it works 100% reliably.

Very strange. I use it all the time and have never seen that. I wonder why that happens.

No, I haven't read this whole thread but I have a question,

 

I have Qobuz on my Windows PC playing via HDMI into my processor.  I would like to use an app on a tablet to control it so I thought JPlay would do that since I can load it on my iPAD and it sees my Qobuz library, but all it will do is AirPlay to my processor. Maybe I'm misunderstanding and trying to get it to do something it isn't capable of?

 

If I'm confused about JPlay's capabilities. is there an app that can control Qobuz on my PC so I can get the high resolution files instead of AirPlay?

 

thanks

 

Does your processor support UPnP or DLNA? That’s the preferred way to use JPLAY.

can you please advise what this “update time” settings does and does it impact any sound quality setting lower vs higher number?

 

thanks

I talked about it here, and showed video of the differences. 
 

Just now, dericchan1 said:

So apparently the higher the number the more reduction of network traffic? 

Correct.

Unable to delete

 

@The Computer Audiophile

Why is it that we can't delete a post after a certain amount of time? And why is there such a short window to edit a post?

 

In my opinion, extending the time limit for editing posts would reduce impulsive or poorly thought-out comments. It would encourage more thoughtful discussions by giving users a chance to reflect and refine their comments, ultimately improving the quality of the content.

 

Then again, maybe it's just me trying to multitask by writing while enjoying music—but that's a tough balance to strike!

 

I believe people post more carefully when they know their posts can’t be edited in perpetuity. There’s no incentive to craft a carefully written post if one can go back and edit it for a long time. 
 

Extended editing windows lead to the move fast, break things, and iterate mentality.

No site allows editing in perpetuity, but that’s not the point here. This doesn’t seem to cause any issues when posting on other platforms, like WBF. In fact, I find it much more convenient there.

 

On WBF, I can also delete a post if my attempt to quote something accidentally results in a new post being saved.

 

I think you should consider the difference between long-term and short-term editing windows. It seems like the edit window on AS is around 15-20 minutes. Could this be doubled or even tripled, at least?

Your feedback is noted.
 

I’ve run the site for 17 years and tried many different configurations. The current time limits work best here.

My yearly subscription auto renewed on 8th Sept 2024 and is valid until 8th Sept 2025. 
 

How does the lifetime subscription work? Do I get a credit for the unused part of the yearly subscription already paid for?

 

Thanks. 

It can be used for your lifetime plus one year :~)

JPLAY 1.0.21 is now available

 

What's New:

 

Save for Later: You can now bookmark albums and songs that catch your interest while browsing the library without adding them to your favorites.

I love this feature. So cool. It’s perfect for how I discover music.
