Output through NMT instead of PC

[mchofman]

I have installed mvpmcx2 and GB-PVR on my PC and Popcorn Hour A110.

I'm able to browse and play the music files which are on the harddisk in my Popcorn with the PVRX2 application on my PC. The sound comes from the speakers in my PC, but I want it to play through the speakers of my stereo connected to the Popcorn. Is this possible?

I'd like to control my Popcorn from my PC.

Regards,
Marco

I don't think you can do what you are wanting to do.
The PCH is a remote client device and is meant for TV and user control directly. AFAIK there is no software that can remotely control it from a PC. I'm trying to think of a reason for wanting to do that but can't at the moment.

Client control is possible, the old Hauppauge would allow this mirrored control form the PC, but this is something sub would have to do. If sub does allow remote control of the PC and extender clients via TCP in 1.5.x as I added on my wishlist there would be some nice possibilities, I'd like to see about control via a phone, but the PC should be possible too.

mpd seems to be a very popular client audio player for the PCH and it could like some of what you want, it gets a lot more air time on the NMT forums than GBPVR does.

I've like how itunes does this with the AirPort Express too and it is something that I would like to see on the PCH one day.

Thanks for leading me to mpd. I have installed it on my popcorn and installed Gnome Music Player Client on my PC. It works really great.

Thanks,
