ab123ga 11 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Question: I'm trying to set up MBC on a relative's machine. I have them pointing to my MBS. The issue is two fold: 1) When I log in via their ID, I cannot see the option for plugins. 2) When I log in via my ID, I can see the plugins option but when I select the screen just goes a bit darker. Almost like it is trying to access a different window. I've searched and seen where there were some issues /w loading plugins related to resolution but trying to see if this should be doable via a remote connection.

ebr 14936 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 The issue you are seeing sounds like a screen format problem (4:3 vs 16:9). However, you won't be able to install plug-ins via a remote session because that looks like an extender to our program and you cannot install plug-ins from an extender.

ab123ga 11 Posted December 30, 2014 Author Share Posted December 30, 2014 So by what you are saying MBC connecting to a remote server can not have plugins and what is considered remote? I ask b/c I have 2 PCs on my local network and I can add plugins onto both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what cannot install a plug-in. Any normal install of MBC can have plug-ins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ab123ga 11 Posted December 30, 2014 Author Share Posted December 30, 2014 Ok.... I'll see if my sister can install one of the plugins on her own. I use splashtop remote and that should have nothing to do with it but will have her try and see if anything different occurs. Thanks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why ? any work around this ? That is not correct. You can install plugins from any device. This thread is about plugins for Emby for Windows Media Center. Windows Media Center does not work properly over remote desktop so that's what this question was about. Does that help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
