J River Media Center 19

I do the same thing for propagating one library to two PC's in different locations.... (after cloning the data drives using something like filesync).

If you use the media server feature in one location... the unique network identifier gets copied and creates havoc with networked devices. I think you don't want to transfer settings to prevent this... So... I think I should only restore the database and not the views and other features of the program. (don't ask me how I know)

Tcatman - it seems easier to restore all the settings and then reset the Media Network key on the new PC than to do all the settings by hand on the new PC.

That is worth a try...
The fundamental problem is that I simply don't understand home networks and what gets through a firewall or not enough to bend the rules a bit.. The second issue... is that I do this job very infrequently and the details get fuzzy... remembering to write down all of the proper keys in each place... definitely needs to be on the to do list..

A little of topic , but does anyone know if an APPLE IPAD AIR, with the JRIVER REMOTE will allow the IPAD to control a windows based laptop, so I can control my JRIVER music that is stored in the WINDOWS LAPTOP ? I have such a set up and am unable to get the two devices to sync up together . Both units are on my home network (ATT) and both are working and on at the same time, but when I load the IP address into the JRIVER app on the IPAD, it says unable to find another active device or server.

THANKS........

I use my iPad Jriver app to control my PC based music server, and it works smoothly and reliably..not sure why yours isn't synching..but its not an issue of Apple vs PC.
