![]() ![]() ![]() If you’re new to the Chromecast and reading this article because you’re considering purchasing one to mirror your PC’s screen or otherwise cast content, you may want to use the Tables of Contents to jump down to the sections “What Do I Need to Chromecast PC Content to a TV.” How to Chromecast Your Desktop We’re assuming you already have a Chromecast or compatible device set up, and you’re ready to jump right into using it. Troubleshooting Your Google Chromecast Experienceįrequently Asked Questions About Chromecasting What Do I Need to Chromecast PC Content to TV? Some sort of method to show 'whats playing now' on screen would be super, a bit like screensleeves for mac, which sadly only works with itunes.How to Direct Cast a Supported Video Service In general though I like the software, the menus are extremely unmac like but with jremote one will not need to be exposed to that too often. I also swear that there was an option to get artist art work but for the life of me cannot find it now.Īll of my music already has artist artwork, which shows up fine in itunes and via other mediums but in JRiver it defaults to one of the album covers, so is not picking this up. It would be nice in the future if art work can be found by simply right clicking a bit like itunes, I see no way of applying art work to albums right now other than copy paste. If you are going to have options for different locations for music including dnla which you appear to have, it follows perhaps that one might expect to be able to switch those libraries when required, or at least amalgamate them a bit like netstreams software. OK, the library thing is not the end of the world, a nice to have I guess. Those kinds of usages work well.īut, having separate Libraries for my Wife and for Me, or for keeping Classical separate from Rock music, is not what they're for, and there are other (better) ways to do that. Another good example might be having a separate Library on a self-contained external disk, that can only be used with that disk when it is powered on and connected to a computer (and when you are using that disk, you'd never want to "switch back to" your main Library for any reason except for when you are done and unplugging it). ![]() For example, I have a "work" Library (the media which all lives on file shares at work, and which I cannot access from home without VPN), and a "home" Library. However, where separate Libraries are most useful is when you have separate physical sets of media, which cannot be accessed simultaneously, and which require certain pre-conditions for use. You could rig something up if needed, since there are commands that let you do it in MC's Media Network API (MCWS). JRemote does not (that I know of) expose a mechanism to switch Libraries. It, generally, should be very rare to need to switch Libraries for most users (even ones with weird needs). You can do this in MC, quite well, all from within one Library. If the answer is something to the effect of: I have different types of media files (different owners, different purposes, etc), and I need them to be displayed separately, where they aren't "polluted" by other unrelated media, then. Why do you want to switch Libraries? What are you using the separate Libraries for? ![]() I'm going to answer your question with some questions: ![]()
