My goal is to show the playlist on an external screen in a nice format, while DJing using regular view.

Does Tremote work  between two instances of MC on the same computer? I want to use the client instance in detail view to select music, send it to the server and the server would show playing now in theater view. Would this work, or does the music would bypass the server MC and go directly to the sound card without changing the theater view?

Other related alternatives I considered:
- if Theater view were detachable like display view, this could be done using one MC instance.
- The new web remote/web play interface could be used a construct a cooler display view that shows the playlist. (I will open another thread to discuss this).

Sorry, but you're in uncharted territory.  Running multiple instances on a single machine is considered 'use at your own risk'.  Making one a server and one a client is even more complicated.

Maybe a second laptop?

Matt, I understand

Would it work if I were using MC's on two different machines? I am trying to understand whether the client controls only the server sound card, or the whole server application. In particular, if I play something with the remote client using Tremote, will playing now list of the server change? (e.g. showing what is being played in theater view).
