[QUOTE="Bram, post: 82733, member: 17179"] I use RDP (the Remote Desktop Protocol) to connect to my HTPC. I know about VNC (and software that does the same) but I don't want to use it. RDP is fast, efficient and in Windows out of the box. There is one disatvantage... DirectX doesn't workt thrue the RDP. So it's not possible to see MP thrue a RDP connection. What I do now is.. - Connect with Remote Desktop - Once connected push CTRL+SHIFT+ESC as fast as I can and start clicking "End Task" hoping the taskmanager registers my input. This always works but might take some time. - Once MediaPortal is closed I see the desktop, but I have the taskbar hidden from within Media Portal (and I like to keep it that way), so I can't use the startmenu and quicklaunche shortcuts. To fix this I go to the TaskManager again and stop the "explorer.exe" task and restart it again by running "explorer" from the Run dialog. Now I can use the computer again. I could use a simple batch script to restart the explorer.exe task. But that still means I have to close MP manualy, which is a pain in the a** :) Is there a way to make MediaPortal detect if there is a RDP connection being made and optionaly close itself? I think some people use multiple concurent RDP sessions to manage their computer and don't want MP to close on a RDP connection. So it's probebly wise to make it optional, if at all possible.
