To connect to the Web Service, J. River recommends the following flow. Please note that Gizmo uses a similar approach.

  1. Ask the user for an access key

An access key will be six case-sensitive letters. No digits or symbols are used.

  1. 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.

  1. Optionally wake computers

Loop the IP addresses returned and send a wake request to each MAC address returned.

  1. Try connecting to each IP address
