JRiver Remote 2.4.0

Highlights

HTTPS connections to JRiver MC. Connect over SSL with a per-host
trust prompt for self-signed certificates — no more plaintext-only
links.
Queue management. Swipe to remove a single track from the playing
now queue, or use the new "Clear" button to empty it in one tap.
Diagnostics & log export. A new section in Server Manager lets you
share or save the current session's app log — useful when reporting
bugs. On macOS the log can also be opened directly in TextEdit.
Smarter orientation handling. Phones lock to portrait, tablets
keep all orientations, and foldables re-evaluate every time the
display size changes.
Layout polish. Bottom tab bar, library tabs, and several scrollable
screens lay out correctly on Android 15/16 edge-to-edge devices
(including Samsung S25 / One UI 8).

Add SSL (HTTPS) toggle to the manual setup form, with an SSL port
field (defaults to 52200, JRiver's standard).
Persist useSsl / sslPort per saved server; auto-resume in SSL mode
on next launch.
Access-key resolution now reads <httpsport> from the JRiver lookup
response so the right port is used automatically.
Self-signed certificates are accepted for the JRiver host the user
connected to with the SSL toggle on. Trust is scoped to that host —
any other HTTPS endpoint the app talks to (e.g. the JRiver lookup
service) keeps stock TLS validation.

New Clear button in the queue header (asks for confirmation
before removing all tracks).
Swipe-left to remove a single track from the queue.
Both work for local, offline, and remote zones.
Local-zone deletes now skip the active track gracefully instead of
triggering a reload.

App now writes every log line to a per-session file (truncated on each
start) — open Server Manager → "Export Logs" to share it.
macOS adds Save Log As… (system save panel) and Open in
TextEdit.
Flutter framework errors include the diagnostics tree in the log, so
layout issues are easier to triage post-mortem.

Phones (shortest side < 600dp) are now locked to portrait at startup;
tablets and desktop keep all orientations.
Foldables re-evaluate the lock when crossing the 600dp threshold
(folding/unfolding), so portrait-only kicks in only on the cover
display.
Bottom tab bar uses dynamic safe-area insets — no more wasted black
band at the bottom of the screen on Android 15/16 with edge-to-edge
enforcement.
Library tab pills truncate long labels (e.g. "Downloads") with an
ellipsis on narrow screens instead of wrapping to two lines.

Tapping a queue tile now starts playback (previously the tap handler
was returning the closure instead of invoking it).
No more "McwsClient is not registered" crash on logout — the player
no longer tries to send a remote stop command after the session scope
is torn down.
PlayerInterruptedException from just_audio (a cancelled
setAudioSources call) is now logged at info instead of bubbling up
as an "Uncaught platform error".
Several album-related comparisons (artist / album / album-artist) are
now case-insensitive, fixing duplicate-album detection across servers
with mixed-case metadata.
Multi-disc albums are reliably grouped using an auto-derived album
artist when the file metadata is inconsistent.

Connection repository no longer maintains its own session-scope
tracker — uses the existing GetIt scope mechanism.
New JRiverHttpOverrides installs once at startup and lets the
connection layer add hosts to its trust set as sessions resolve.
FileLogObserver integrates with Talker; per-line synchronous writes
guarantee the log file is on disk for instant export.
Saved-server schema bumped to v7 (adds useSsl, sslPort columns,
with an additive migration).

Android: minimum unchanged. Tested on Android 14 / 15 / 16
(Samsung S25 with One UI 8 and Galaxy S24 with One UI 6).
iOS / iPadOS: unchanged.
macOS: requires the rebuilt bundle for the new
com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-write entitlement
(used by the "Save Log As…" panel). A clean re-run of the app is
needed once after upgrading.

SSL trust is permissive per-host; certificate fingerprint pinning is
a future enhancement.

If you have a saved JRR debug build below 2.4.0, the database will
auto-migrate to schema v7 on first launch (adds useSsl / sslPort
to saved_servers). No action required.
Any test fixture constructing SavedServer directly must now include
useSsl and sslPort fields.
