I was wondering if people could clear some things up for me.
Firstly, what i would like to achieve:
basically, I would like jrmc to be running on a computer (hereafter known as the 'server') that is connected to a tv , but be able to edit the library and settings from a remote desktop session WITHOUT disruption to whatever is happening on the tv. (eg, someone is watching a movie using jrmc on the tv can continue to do so whilst i remote into the server and fiddle around with the library).
afaik, windows vista doesn't support concurrent users for remote desktop, so if i remote in, it'll kick off whoever was watching at the tv.
if i use the concurency hack to get around this, I would have to remote in under a different user account and whilst j river can read the same library, different users have different settings (settings are stored in local user registry, right?)
so my 'solution' is to use a server edition of windows (which i have access to because of dreamspark and/or msdnaa), which i've been told supports single user concurrency (single user, multiple sessions).
however, i wasn't aware that terminal services in server editions require CAL (which I'm not willing to pay for).
can someone either explain to me a way of sharing jrmc library AND settings between user accounts, OR explain how to set up terminal services to achieve what i'd like WITHOUT dealing with CALs.
(or a completely alternate setup and does the same thing)
also, i remember reading that jrmc can be started in 'read-only' mode so that a second logon (eg through remote desktop) can modify the library. is this correct? how do i start the first instance of jrmc in 'read-only'?
thanks all.
