To connect to the Web Service, J. River recommends the following flow. Please note that Gizmo uses a similar approach.
- Ask the user for an access key
An access key will be six case-sensitive letters. No digits or symbols are used.
- Lookup server address from Access Key
Call the web service (replace [Access Key] with the actual access key):
http://webplay.jriver.com/libraryserver/lookup?id=[Access Key]
It is recommended that you use a short timeout.
- Optionally wake computers
Loop the IP addresses returned and send a wake request to each MAC address returned.
- Try connecting to each IP address
