My MonkeyTunes users have reported something similar but only with the iPod Touch running Apple Remote. http://forum.melloware.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=9063 http://forum.melloware.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=8771

Jesus,<br /> <br /> I think our support forums might be a better venue for tech support questions than this thread. There you can see other users issues and their resolution. If you do not see a user with a similar problem and solution then start a new thread please.<br /> <br /> http://forum.melloware.com/<br /> <br />

Jesus R,<br /> <br /> Great question. Unbelievably Library access is not exposed in the JRMC API. Which is why MonkeyTunes is a superior product to Rivermote because MediaMonkey allows full access to their database for queries like Genre and Artist and Album Browsing.<br /> <br /> Here it is explained. And I have even have a thread with the JRMC team and they admitted it is not possible.<br /> <br /> http://forum.melloware.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=7894<br /> <br />

Mike,<br /> <br /> I think you are correct. Bonjour and subnets do not seem to get along, and I have also seen Bonjour not play nicely with some router configurations.<br /> <br /> In the Android client, it tries to use Bonjour but allows you to override it with "Manual IP" setting so you can force it to an IP and that works great. I wish Apple didn't rely so much on Bonjour and allowed a similar ovverride, but then again...they are Apple.<br /> <br /> There is an iPhone app called ROZeroConfig that is FREE that is a Bonjour Browser. It helps you diagnose on your iPhone what Bonjour networks and IP's you can see and helps diagnose problems.

danhackley, You are exactly correct. MonkeyTunes does not affect the Sonics at all and has nothing to do with the sound output of MM. It is purely a remote control.

Shaq,<br /> <br /> Why didn't your tech support guy actually go to my forums???<br /> <br /> http://forum.melloware.com<br /> <br /> See our Troubleshooting FAQ:<br /> <br /> http://forum.melloware.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=7703<br /> <br /> Actually I have had sales pouring in and there hasn't been a user yet I haven't been able to get working just by looking at their log file and doing some simple diagnosis. 99.9% of the time it is their firewall or virus software blocking the TCP and UDP ports too aggressively. The other 0.01% of the time it is because another application is already using Port 3689 like Itunes or Remote Speakers Plugin.<br /> <br /> Feel free to have your tech guy post on our forums or do a little research. I am shocked he gave up so easily without actually trying to contact my support?<br /> <br /> Melloware<br />

Thanks for the props guys! I work hard to make it a great product and I try and work any bugs out as soon as they are reported. Thanks to danhackley for pushing me hard to make MonkeyTunes.

johniboy,<br /> <br /> To answer your questions:<br /> <br /> 1. Yes you can do hierarchical searchs with MonkeyTunes. Click on Genre called "Acid" it would show all Acid Artists like "EMF", "Soup Dragons" etc and you can drill down into their albums.<br /> <br /> 2. No you only have to pair once. Apple has this as a security measure so people can't just download Apple Remote and start controlling your MediaMonkey/iTunes. It makes sure you have to pair once to essentially give that device permission. You will have to do it for each unique device you own though. So if you own two iPod Touches each one has to be paired once.<br /> <br /> Good luck!
