Accessing GBPVR using XP Remote

[alan michael]

Has anyone been successful in accessing GBPVR remotely using the windows XP remote feature. Kind of a Sony location free tv. I can access the screen but I get a message that VMR9 is not supported on my laptop. Tried VMR7 and overlay but it is slooow scan.. Any ideas - if this worked you could watch your TV or movies anywhere in the world!

You'll never get acceptable performance trying to watch video over XP's Remote Desktop functionality, but there are much more efficient ways to achieve the same thing. Some users use the web admin's functions for streaming videos. Some other users use 'orb' which is some third party video streaming software.

I just share the recordings folder - play off the share in windows media player - joy. Can make playlists and whatnot too. Only downside is you have no episode info that way.
