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).

What's new

Server connections

• 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.

Playing-now queue

• 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.

Diagnostics

• 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.

Layout & device support

• 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.

Fixes

• 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.

Under the hood

• 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).

Compatibility

• 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.

Known limitations

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

Migration notes for developers

• 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.
