How do i play media files logging in with remote desktop or a terminal emulator???

[resopalrabotnick]

do you want the machine you logged in on to play them or the remote client?

[ALONZOAMORGAN]

the remote client,thanks

[resopalrabotnick]

then you need to transfer the files to the remote client. with enough bandwidth you probably could transfer the output of the host to the remote client. but you would need to be on a lan to do that, and you would still loose quality, not to mention that a lot of the software does video but not audio. use the file transfer option (if you have it) to send the files to the client.

NOT SHOUTING JUST PREFER WRING IN CAPS)MAYBE I DIDNT EXPLAIN CLEARLY I'M ON A SERVER ,THEN TERMINALLY CONNECT TO A CLIENT WHICH HAS THE FILES AND MEDIA PLAYER I WANT TO STAY FROM THE SERVER ON THE SAME LAN AND PLAY THE FILES

umm.. let me make sure that i understand your question... you have some files and media player on a client.. and you want to be able to take those files.. and play them on the server.. with out moving the  files and using the clients media player?

[ALONZOAMORGAN]

NO I WANT TO PLAY THOSE FILES ON THE CLIENT USING ITS MEDIA PLAYER (BECAUSE THE CLIENT HAS A KICK ASS SOUND SYSTEM ) SO I WANT TO PLAY IT REMOTELY

[resopalrabotnick]

yes, so the client has to have the media files unless the connection is fast enough that you can open a shared file on the host and play it from there. you cannot however pipe the output from the host to the client.
so to be absolutely clear: upload file from host to client, open on client. badabing.

Are you using telnet? or a 3rd party?

Using a remote connection, it is very unlikely that the files could be uploaded off the server and downloaded to the client fast enough to play them in real-time, so you would be better to just transfer them. 

Otherwise.....if you are able to connect via telnet (which means that your security sucks), then you should be able to use the NetBIOS over TCP/IP commands.  This rarely works (from my limited experience) on any windows OS after 98, but you can always try.  I have done it with two 98 machines.  If you know the IP address, you should be able to get in remotely and share folders (as long as NetBIOS is enabled).

more or less what i'm trying to tell you. unless your connection is fast enough to open a shared folder and play the files from there, which it seems to be since you are in the next room and i expect there is a lan between the comps, you need to copy the files over. if you are on a lan, simply share the folder on the host and open the files on the client.

Try this link, it is a very good walkthrough for file sharing in a home network (LAN):
