Remote Control Solution for Show editing
Posted: Tue Mar 03, 2020 3:32 pm
Hello
For Show creation and editing i am looking for a solution to work with a remotely installed mediaserver wich runs in master mode.
The thought behind that is to have a fixed infrastructure with mediaservers installed in a remote room while being able to create/edit shows by only using a laptop with an ethernetconnection.
The Audiooutputs on the mediaservers are generally used and since audio playback on clientmachines isn't supported, this is no option.
A working solution is using VNC (wich is already preinstalled on the Machines) but it sometimes is a bit wonky and cumbersome to use/set up.
Today i was trying to connect to the mediaserver via Windows RDP service wich seems to be a bit smoother in operation.
So far i was able to connect and get Acces to the Wings RX GUI. After connecting, the following warning pops up:
"Error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at Wingsengine.Startscreen.LoadEDIDSettings()"
After i click ok, the GUI appears normally. Aftr some seconds, the background turns red and there it says:
"Wings Engine not licensed".
When trying to start the Program, a warning appears, informing, that no dongle can be found (Wings and Pixera).
This behaviour obviously appears becuase of RDP.
So my Question is: Is there a way to work remotely (e.g via RDP) with Wings (or Pixera), whitout losing the feature of outputting Sound, other than using VNC?
best regards, Ben
