It'd be great if it was made possible. :)

Can you describe exactly what you want to do? And why?
llafriel:
I have a server tucked away in a closet. It's on 24/7, but doesn't do any playing. In my living room I have a htpc and a laptop. These connect to the server whenever I want to play music,films or browse my pictures. This, of course, using MC's library server on the server. I also connect to the server from work for music. I like this setup because of noise, the physical size of the htpc and so fort. Tremote has no use in this scenario as it is now, because my server isn't connected to any speakers or monitors. What I would like to do is connect to my htpc from my laptop and using tremote to control it while the htpc is connected via library server to my 'closet' pc.
laptop > htpc > server
client > client > server
htpc >(tremote)>htpc>(library server)>server
JimH:
If Tremote connects to the HTPC, it should be able to play the library of the MC running on the HTPC. Look under "Playing Now" on the Tremote.
MC on your HTPC could also just import the server's files (using Windows networking) without running Library Server on the server.

JimH... I'm very sorry! I've not tried it the last builds(I was able to connect before but it threw an error when trying to play). Anyway.. It now works. Thanks! I'm a very happy camper now!
