Seems possible solution. since my htpc is new will try to update to latest intel video driver. Is it win 8.1 graphics driver?

I assumed you are using win 8, please read this thread

I got Microsoft Remote Desktop working from my Mac. I was able to see my netbook's desktop and work on it like a pc. However when I started XBMC it wouldn't launch. When I tried to run Foobar, it attempts to play on my Mac not on the netbook. Sayang I was hoping to control it remotely through my Mac. Server na lang sana yung netbook.

Use VNC instead of RDP. I currently use TightVNC viewer but unfortunately it does not run on Mac. Try this one instead >> http://www.techspot.com/downloads/5760-vnc-viewer.html

try mo teamviewer- user friendly pa.

pwede sa windows/mac/linux/android/iphone

Looks like Teamviewer is a skin for standard MS Remote Desktop. Same issues with RD. Xbmc cannot be launched remotely. Foobar looking for DAC settings like it wanted to run on my client rather than the pc server.

Sir you can set where the audio will play, in window based pc or mac, under RDC, Preferences, sound tab. Im also using foobar in win pc via rdc in mac.

Gino · « **Reply #461 on:** Jan 14, 2014 at 12:25 PM »

Where do I find RDC-Preferences?

cirrus · « **Reply #462 on:** Jan 14, 2014 at 12:28 PM »

Click RDC Menu, Top left of the screen, right side of apple logo.

Gino · « **Reply #463 on:** Jan 14, 2014 at 12:31 PM »

Where is RDC Menu? On Mac, Windows? Which app? Sorry totally new to this.

cirrus · « **Reply #464 on:** Jan 14, 2014 at 12:36 PM »

Sorry my instruction is not clear. When you launch rdc in mac, new menu will show (mac) in the top left of the screen beside the apple logo. Preferences would be under the RDC menu.

Gino · « **Reply #465 on:** Jan 14, 2014 at 12:45 PM »

I am using Microsoft Remote Desktop from the Mac App Store. There is no settings there expect gateway and screen resolution. What is RDC?

Edit: Looks like it is a different application. Does XBMC launch with RDC?

cirrus · « **Reply #466 on:** Jan 14, 2014 at 12:53 PM »

I might be using a different version, i'm using Microsoft remote desktop connection but it came from the "office for mac" installer.

cirrus · « **Reply #467 on:** Jan 14, 2014 at 12:59 PM »

Haven't tried xbmc but videoLan definitely launch via rdc, i will let you know later when i get home.

Gino · « **Reply #468 on:** Jan 14, 2014 at 02:49 PM »

I got sound working using the MS Remote Desktop app from the app store. I found the settings for sound. Foobar works remotely. However XBMC still fails to launch.

Plex. For me, far better than XBMC for Mac's

cirrus · « **Reply #470 on:** Jan 14, 2014 at 06:12 PM »

@Gino

Positive, XBMC does launch using Microsoft RDC.

Gino · « **Reply #471 on:** Jan 14, 2014 at 07:41 PM »

Is it running on the pc or virtualized on the client?

I got XBMC running in Windowed video mode but it is running on my Mac rather than the pc. Sound goes to the pc and to my home system. But video doesn't get thrown to my tv since it is going to my Mac. It is running very laggy on my Mac.

Foobar runs fine. I got audio to work with the pc instead on my Mac.

cirrus · « **Reply #472 on:** Jan 14, 2014 at 08:24 PM »

upon checking it is only running on the client. The monitor attached to my HTPC stays in the login screen although i'm already signed in in RDC and running XBMC.

Gino · « **Reply #473 on:** Jan 14, 2014 at 08:59 PM »

Same here. I guess I can live with Foobar working remotely.

anyone know san nakakabili nung super liit na keyboard with touchpad? id like to use it sa xbmc. nagagandahan kasi ako dun sa refocus na skin but maximized sya for keyboard. hirap gamitin yung mouse remote ko.

I have a problem adding an external hard drive lately with my XBMC. I was able to add an external drive in add sources before but now I can only add individual folders as source and not the whole drive. I am using Frodo in Windows 7. Anybody else experienced this?

So pwede din pala na lagay nalang yung mga individual folders into one big folder para isa lang ang folder for that HDD sa XBMC sources.

After installing Nvidia GT610 replacing the HD6450 in my E350 machine, I was able to install XBMC with Zorin OS. Faster boot up time and seems to be more stable. I had a problem though playing Bluray discs natively so I had to install MakeMKV with the Bluray plugin. Looks good!
