JRiver

In order for multi-scrobbler to communicate with JRiver you must have Web Server Interface enabled. This can be found in the JRiver GUI:

• Tools -> Options -> Media Network
  • Check Use Media Network to share this library...
  • If you have Authentication checked you will need to provide the Username and Password in the ENV/File configuration below.

URL

The URL used to connect to JRiver, set in your file config as url. The URL used to connect ultimately must be formed like this:

Syntax  => [protocol]://[hostname]:[port]/[path]
Default =>       http://localhost:52199/MCWS/v1/

If any part of this URL is missing multi-scrobbler will use a default value. This also means that if any part of your URL is not standard you must explicitly define it.

Jriver Settings

• Make sure the port number matches what is found in Advanced section in the Media Network options.
• If your installation is on the same machine but you cannot connect using localhost try 0.0.0.0 instead.

URL Transform Examples

Examples of a given url in your file config and the final URL multi-scrobbler will use to connect to JRiver:

url	Transformed URL
(none set)	http://localhost:52199/MCWS/v1/
