## What is MO 4Media?

MO 4Media is a remote control for JRiver Media Center (MC) software running on a computer (we have no affiliation with JRiver, Inc.).  It also can play back media from the MC library locally to the device, play to AirPlay devices, and cast to Chromecast devices.

A running copy of JRiver Media Center on a networked computer is required.  You must enable "Media Network" in MC for you to be able to connect and access your media.  See https://www.jriver.com to install and get more information.

Features:
- Control MC playback over WiFi with your device
- Control separate zones and link/unlink playback between zones
- Play audio/music files to your device with optional volume leveling/replay gain adjustment during playback, optional file conversion, and gapless playback for unconverted files
- Play video files to your device with optional file conversion
- View images on your device with optional file conversion
- Run macros (list of network commands) when zones are selected or unselected.  These can be MCC (control MC) or TCP (control networked A/V equipment).
- On-screen volume buttons can control MC or networked A/V equipment volumes
- Create, add files to, and edit playlists
- Theater View remote control
- Wake-On-LAN
- Download files with offline playback
- Seeking during playback
- Custom UI colors
- Option for Video playback in external player
- Casting support
- AirPlay support

This version is now free to use without a subscription (no limitations).

Notes:
- To customize the library items that you can browse edit the MC options: "Tools | Options | Media Network | Advanced | Custom views for JRemote, Gizmo & Panel..."
- Cover art is intentionally missing from screenshots but will display properly in the app with your library

### 5/5 — Replacing JRemote since iPadOS 26

*2025-09-22, version 1.6.0*

Since updating to iPadOS 26 Jremote crashes when viewing Playing Now. I found this replacement and it works perfectly.

### 3/5 — Trial has too many limitations

*2022-09-12, version 1.5.6*

On the outside it looks and started to feel like something I would use but the “trial” doesn’t make sense.  If users are given a week to test, all options should be enabled to properly test.  I already have issues with subscription apps but to lock down the trial is madness.

### 2/5 — Nice idea. Still far too unstable.

*2022-03-07*

Should not be charging a subscription for this app. Still far too many bugs that need to be fixed. Plus author does not bother to respond to email requests. 
Was really quite hopeful of an app that allowed direct downloads ffom JRiver MC but will have to cancel my subscription for this till they get the bugs worked out.  Also maybe not a bug but just bad design. When downloading individual songs it lomps them all into one huge listing instead of sorting by Artist\Album making them very difficult to find.

### 5/5 — Great App for controlling JRiver Media Center

*2022-03-04, version 1.5.3*

I started using this app to remotely run JRiver Media Center that serves up music files to my stereo DAC from a MacBook’s USB output. For many years I used iTunes and Apple’s “Remote” app for this same set up but I tired of the limitations of iTunes “Music” app regarding hi-res files and FLAC encoded files. Now I can use JRiver with all the convenience of the “native” Apple solution (Music app and iOS Remote app). It is very stable and I have had no issues with it once set up.  Very happy with the outcome.

### 2/5 — Gapless playback?

*2022-03-01, version 1.5.3*

The app info claims gapless playback, but that’s not my experience, just tested on Dark Side of the Moon. Is gapless only in the paid version? I’m not willing to subscribe unless I know this will work.
