In Tools/Options/Remote Control/Commands, select Add/Custom., change the name to 'Monitor Toggle', and click 'Add Run', then type 'mc17.exe' for executable filename and '/MonitorToggle' for parameters. There were numerous problems with trying to use an 'extend desktop onto both monitors' type of setup so it's preferred to use one monitor at a time. I programmed a button on the JRiver remote to toggle between the Projector and the monitor as the sole display.

The work around is to make the filenames on the server match the filenames on the client so that the client will play them using a network drive path or a UNC path rather than over a Library Server URL.

As of build 17.0.63, playback of Blu-ray titles over Library Server is not supported.

The setup of the client went pretty smoothly, but there were a few tips that I'll list here for future reference: I use JRiver MCE remotes and transceivers on each system for remote control. I also run analog audio to a headphone jack on an exercise treadmill. I run DVI video to a 20' monitor and HDMI video to a 720p projector and digital audio via coax to a Sony A/V amplifier (5.1 speaker system). I have another Windows 7 computer in our family room running Media Center as a Library Server client to the living room computer. Media Center is installed on the server computer with media networking fully enabled.

The media drive is shared on the home LAN. The server computer has a large internal drive dedicated to media including recorded TV. I run DVI video to the TV and simple analog audio to a Logitech 2.1 speaker system near the TV. I have a Windows 7 server computer in a closet near our living room plasma TV. The following are some examples of how users have configured their home networks using MC and other devices.Įxample 1 : MC Server computer connected to living room TV, MC client computer connected to projector in family room
