RDP general (1 Viewer)

Hi.

Could you make the product more "friendlier" to Remote Desktop/RDP please?
Everytime connecting to a MediaPortal/TV-Server PC with it, the RDP connection
hangs.

Keep up the great work !

Have you tried one of the many VNC variants available?

Like UltraVNC, RealVNC, etc ... I use RealVNC. Works a treat, though screen updates are a little slow.

Cheers,

Yes.. I know those, but was merely considered to RDP

Thanks for the reply thou.

RDP doesn't support DirectX, MP needs DirectX so you can't use MP in an RDP session.

As above you'll have to use VNC or other remote control software.

Hi.

Sorry that's not what I ment.
I ment if I'd like to get a RDP session to The PC running MP via LAN, the RDP session hangs on the PC running the MP. Just to get into it while the MP and TV services run on it. Bad nic drivers perhaps ?

Can you open an RDP session to the PC without MediaPortal running?

RDP is a "driver/session" not a brodcast of what is happening on your other monitor/screen.... it is not the same....

Therefore it will hang if u start a MP session..... RDP cant present mp´s actions..

as long as you uncheck "start MP automatically when windows starts"
(and stick a link to MP in startup on your main account)
you can login via remote desktop without any problems

also, as the databases are available across all accounts
you can even edit them while MP is running on your TV

I use RDP to manage my media PC. When connected I just press Alt-F4 to close MP. The RDP-session is not hanging, it only does'nt show anything. And when I am done I restart and MP is up and going.
