[QUOTE="sjevtic, post: 842096, member: 118214"] I'm trying to do something similar. I've played with MPDisplay++ 0.7.0.0 a bit, and while still in the early stages, it has a lot of promise. In short, MPDisplay++ can be a status display, or a rich remote control that provides enough context such that your main display does not have to be on in order to use it effectively. Content chosen with MPDisplay++ plays on the MediaPortal instance housing its server component (which can be the local machine, or in your case, a remote device connected over the network). The MPDisplay++ client is not just a remote display window though like a VNC or RDP session; it won' t contain a pixel-for pixel copy of your main display's contents. It is purportedly skinnable, but I have not not experimented with this. As far as I can tell, MPDisplay++ was never intended to stream any kind of media, including music, to the client device. This is the domain of MPExtended/WifiRemote and its clients (e.g., aMPdroid). In fact, when pulling up the context menu for a piece of media on aMPdroid, there are "Stream" (to device) and "Play on PC" options. Sasha [/QUOTE]
