resopalrabotnick Posted September 17, 2005 CID Share Posted September 17, 2005 do you want the machine you logged in on to play them or the remote client? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

resopalrabotnick Posted September 17, 2005 CID Share Posted September 17, 2005 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.

ALONZOAMORGAN Posted September 17, 2005 Author CID Share Posted September 17, 2005 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resopalrabotnick Posted September 17, 2005 CID Share Posted September 17, 2005 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.

FallowEarth Posted September 17, 2005 CID Share Posted September 17, 2005 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.

FallowEarth Posted September 17, 2005 CID Share Posted September 17, 2005 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): http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/xp/filesharing.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
