Netbook as a Remote aka Tremote

Thank you for your response Jim! Your misunderstanding prompted me to check it again - and now it works! It's definitely not worked before, and I do not understand how he could miss this news.

What I doing (again, for history):

To my MC server "MC-server" (10.0.0.1:9999) is connected a MC client ("MC-client"), which is configured zone "My main client zone". To control this area with Tremote, this MC-client is also configured as server (10.0.0.2:8888), to which I connect a third copy of the MC, installed on my umpc (MC-control). Earlier on this stage I received a message about can't connect to the server on MC-client. Now the "MC-control" is connected to "MC-client" and allows to control a zone "My main client zone"  from umpc.
Profit )

I waited for this functionality since the announcement function Tremote. Thank you for implementation.

Guys,
I fell ashamed to ask... but how do I setup the Tremote feature? I have been the last 1/2 hour searching for a simple setup explanation in the forum, and help wiki.. and all the links point to this thread. After rereading the 5 thread pages twice, I failed to find where the explanation is.. Could you please help me?
Thanks a lot,
ReTango

ReTango - no need to be ashamed. This is a great feature, but actually using it is not well documented. Took me a long time to figure out how to get it to work. Both systems have to be running the same version of Media Center.

On the system hooked to the stereo - On the Organization Tree (options on the left side of the screen) go down to Services and Plug-ins and select Library Server. In the windows that comes up click Start Server. This starts the library server on this system.

On the  system being used as a remote - From the File Menu select Library and and Search for Library Servers. It should go out to the network and find the library server on the system hooked to the stereo. You should see the library from the other system. On the Organization Tree, look at Playing Now and select Zone1: There. This tells the system to play the files on the system hooked to the stereo (There). Now just select the tracks to play and it should work. The sound comes from the system hooked to the stereo and you hear nothing from the system you are working on.

Hope it works for you.
There may have been other things that I had to turn on to make this work, but I cannot remember. It just works now. I presume it works on MC 15 also, but I have not tried it. I am running 14.0.153

Thanks a lot dtc! Now it works, perfectly! Regards,

Glad it works. It really is pretty slick. I really like having the full interface rather than a partial one on a hand held device.
