NOT compatible with MM5 /2024
This will work, - but it throws up error messages in windows when you play an mp3 from explorer etc. It states that MM is running in portable mode, (it isn’t). And that it’s MM4 that’s running and not MM5/2024. The command .\MediaMonkey.exe /elevate /regcomserver does not cure the issue.
I know I downloaded the correctly labelled add on from the mediamote site, But strongly suspect the add on I actually received was for MediaMonkey 4 and not 5/2024. I’m just glad it wasn’t that expensive. Still disappointing though…

Almost but not quite
A reasonable remote for the money. Needs the ability to be able to direct the music output to a device of your choice. Playlists is cluttered, not reflecting exactly the playlists created on JRiver.
Media Monkey
Works great with iPhone and iPad. Live it.
Works in my crazy network
I have an old Dell laptop as my media server using JRiver. The Dell's wireless card stopped working, so I used a Network Repeater to give me a wired connection between my router and my Dell. The repeater is limited to 2.4 Wireless N, while my router is a dual band Wireless AC. Initially, MonkeyMote couldn't find my laptop across the 5G connection to my router. So I tried connecting my iPad to the Wireless Repeater (which is what my Dell was plugged into) and MonkeyMote had no trouble finding my lapt. I resigned myself to the slower speeds of the repeater initially, but got so ticked off that I decided I would simply change my WiFi connection on the iPad whenever I needed to control MonkeyMote. To my surprise, using the 5G connection on my iPad, MonkeyMote was still available. Whether this is due to MonkeyMote or the two routers, I'll never bother to figure that out; it just works without any issue.
As far as MonkeyMote, the media interface is far superior than Apple's own Remote app to control iTunes. Once I got it through the networking hurdles, it has been flawless at controlling JRMC. For $3, I am surprised at how well it works. The folks at MonkeyMote deserve an AttaBoy.

Takes some Practice
Trying to keep things aligned between devices and stereo is a job, but is unavoidable. Nail down the addresses.
