Npvr on remote desktop?

[Reddwarf]

Has anyone tried to run npvr in a remote desktop session?

I do quite regularly. It's fine for me testing stuff, or scheduling recordings etc. Definitely not good enough for watching video.

I installed the multi session extension to RDP and tried to start NextPVR on a remote desktop session but the UI shoed up on the main screen on the computer I connected to, on top of the NextPVR already running there.

You can probably only run one session of NextPVR.exe at a time. I wasn't trying to do multiple desktop sessions via RDP, just a single session.

NextPVR seemed to run fine with the -multi switch, except it was on the wrong computer.

I don't see how that'd be possible.

Why not?

I used to have that same problem. I found that if you use the command

Code:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\NPVR\NextPVR.exe" -no3d

to run NextPVR it works. I just created a desktop shortcut to do that.

Thanks, I'll try it out
