In order for multi-scrobbler to communicate with JRiver you must have [Web Server Interface](https://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Web_Service_Interface#Documentation_of_Functions) enabled. This can can be in the JRiver GUI:

* Tools -> Options -> Media Network
  * Check `Use Media Network to share this library...`
  * If you have `Authentication` checked you will need to provide the **Username** and **Password** in the ENV/File configuration below.

### URL

The URL used to connect to JRiver, set in your [file config as `url`.](#configuration) The URL used to connect ultimately must be formed like this:

```
Syntax  => [protocol]://[hostname]:[port]/[path]
Default =>       http://localhost:52199/MCWS/v1/
```

If any part of this URL is missing multi-scrobbler will use a default value. This also means that if any part of your URL is **not** standard you must explicitly define it.

:::tip[Jriver Settings]

* Make sure the port number matches what is found in `Advanced` section in the Media Network options.
* If your installation is on the same machine but you cannot connect using `localhost` try `0.0.0.0` instead.
