Better to wait until it is video capable than to release a half baked product into the market and milk customers for a half completed product. Remember-many mac owners are fully aware that video codec support is one area that OSX falls short on and is the hardest to implement in a paid for product, so luanching a product and asking customers to pony up dollars with the 'promise' of it materializing in the future is problematic. How many times have folks here been bit by the un-materialized CE manufacturers promise of future (un-finished) functionality for it only to become vaporware. That behavior out of the industry leaves a bad taste in ones mouth. Remember the saying: 'Fool me once, shame on you - fool me twice, shame on me'? Yeah, without video, don't expect Mac users to buy it. For me, the only way I'd switch from Plex to JRMC on my OS X machines would be if it offered me something that Plex doesn't. Namely: 1) Improved playback -- I still feel that MPC-HC w/ MadVR on my Windows HTPC's provides better video playback than Plex on m OSX machines. 2) better music organization with playlists 3) DTS-MA and TrueHD playback -- THIS WOULD BE THE DEAL-MAKER FOR ME. That being said, no one has been able to do this yet. Get me those 3 things and I'd buy it in a nanosecond.

I'll continue paying attention to Jriver for the MAC if that is a goal but otherwise will write it off and look elsewhere for my parents. And then I read it was audio only with lots of bugs. And you have to pay for it. Sorry but that is pretty ridiculous, in my opinion! It's an alpha release for the cut rate price of $24.98, and JRiver has taken great pains to warn anyone considering it that it will be a long road to an eventual finished product and that even the audio only alphas and betas will not work seamlessly for the first year. That's hardly ridiculous, it's downright gentlemanly and transparent. It's completely up to you whether to support the product and company now. In return for $24.98 you essentially wager that JRiver will continue to develop the product and that eventually you'll get something that rivals the full featured Windows version. If you're not interested in paying $24.98 now and waiting for something that looks like a Mac app should, you can wait and pay $49.98 later. Schedule a message to be sent on outlook for mac.
