Does XNET have this functionality yet?

Postby Hiller on Tue Jun 21, 2005 1:53 pm

Hey guys, I haven't fully played with XNET yet so I wanted to see if anyone knows whether this can be done in XLobby yet.

I currently use a HTPC and a progear tablet as my client. I have been using the thin client on the progear and it has been working fine since I made some adjustments to the graphics.

What I would like to do is run XLobby on the progear as a client to the HTPC. The HTPC would mimic all the selections and pages made on the progear but the movies and music would play on the HTPC. Is this possible with the state of XNET right now?

Going this route would make my client much more responsive because it wouldn't have to send the graphics over the network. It would also make the client prettier as I have stripped down some of the graphics to make it run faster!

Thanks,
Steve

Hey dude, this is exactly what I and are seeking to do. See here http://www.xlobby.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3309 and here http://www.xlobby.com/forum/viewtopic.p ... &start=195

I haven't yet had a good look yet at how Sdumas might be using the mimic function.

In any event you could do it with Girder, but then it would involve a bit more time setting up the event strings etc.

What we really need is XNET functionality for all media, music, movies, pics etc. I don't konw when it will be developed.
