People's media consumption behaviour has changed dramatically in the past 4-5 yrs, but JRiver still operates as if streaming is a minor segment of media consumption.

through its software app), but JRiver's failure to even attempt to pursue this feature is costing them money because many users refuse to adopt the program since streaming is such a critical part of their media consumption.Īs already stated, I like many others have not updated JRiver since a couple of past iterations, and judging by numerous posts at various forums decrying JRiver's failure to provide Netflix and Amazon streaming (and now Disney+ I can assume), this will be the feature that will determine JRiver's value to many of us. I have no doubts there may be a cost associated with JRiver providing these streaming services internally (i.e.
Netflix and Amazon are available in a number of cheap streaming devices, yet JRiver cannot provide it. BTW, Netflix and Amazon work with Google Chromecast (despite all 3 being strong competitors). Until JRiver shows it has made all attempts to be selected by the streamers in question as partners, then it is again, a JRiver issue.
I'm sure may opine the above are not JRiver's fault or not applicable, but to paraphrase, you are entitled to your opinions, but not to your own facts as it relates to today's consumer of video entertainment.Īgain, irrelevant. Until JRiver addresses all or most of the above, there are many of us who will no longer support upgrades and no longer encourage others to consider purchasing it (since these are critical tool necessary for any video app with present consumers). Because of the above I have not purchased any new updates since a couple of versions back, and I'm not alone. Obviously there is a cost to it, and again, there are many users that would happily pay the extra.īTW, the tone mapping available through JRiver is useless if one wants to watch Netflix or Amazon through JRiver because JRiver is not the app providing the streaming. I have read the excuses for not supporting it, but there are a number of cheap video machines that are able to do it just fine. Proper support for Netflix and Amazon Prime. I know this has been mentioned before, but it bears mentioning. JRiver supports MadVR one of the best tone mapping tools out there. Not an issue, but not for the reasons given.
