MO 4Media - remote + player

★★★★★ Lets me just stop you right here, and get right to the point (tl;dr)... if you're looking for the best Android remote control app currently out there for JRiver Media Center, you've found it here with MO 4Media. Why is it the best remote control app? Well, I'll list the two main reasons... 1. Gapless playback that actually works. With JRemote, Gizmo and eos there's no working gapless playback with my Android phone. With MO 4Media, it actually works! This reason alone is why this remote is now my main remote control. 2. It's in active development. Gizmo, JRemote and eos hasn't been updated in several years. In fact, the Gizmo/JRemote developer(s) don't currently plan to update Gizmo or JRemote for the time being. MO 4Media's actively gaining features in a relatively short time when it's almost already on parity with JRemote, Gizmo and eos. It also has other very useful features, including Android Auto support and Android TV support (for video at the time of the writing of this review, audio/images *should* be added soon). So in my opinion, it's already surpassed JRemote, Gizmo and eos with more to come soon!

★★☆☆☆ This could very well be the best JRMC remote, but presently it lacks an important feature. It cannot switch zones, at least I cannot make it do so. It will apparently control other zones, but switching to a zone is not possible. This is unfortunately a direct showstopper for me. JRemote and EOS can both control and switch zones, please implement this feature in MO 4Media.

★★☆☆☆ Unable to purchase / subscribe through settings link, says store unavailable, seems to work ok for Jriver media center, but play store says it's not optimized for my device, it's a Samsung Tab 7+. (I also have a standard Tab 7) it would be too small to use on a phone for Jriver the big screen makes it ideal, what's the deal??

★★☆☆☆ I really wanted to like this app. It's way better than what J River puts out for android. However, I can only give it 2 stars because of 2 things: 1. Android auto is totally broken. It doesn't play music. It doesn't play nice with other music players. It takes over from players which actually work. Had to uninstall because of this. 2. The free version is basically useless.

★★☆☆☆ I just installed MO on my pixel 8 pro and subscribed. Accesses MC and my Sony TV (which is ARC connected to a Sony AV receiver). Shows song on the screen of both as playing with time scrolling by, but no sound on the TV. MC playing directly to the TV works fine. Any suggestions?
