TeamViewer and VLC

[Metspitzer]

I have asked this before, but I still have no answer. I have made a
little progress though.

I run a P2P machine with no monitor connected. I log into it remotely
with TeamViewer. If I try to play a video on the remote computer (VLC
player) it doesn't show up on the main machine. I hooked a monitor to
the remote machine to verify that the video does play. By accident, I
happened to run two videos. The second instance does play??????

What could be causing a video not to play in the first instance of VLC
but will display in the second?

Am I interpreting this right? You want to watch a video running on machine
#1 from machine #2 by using Teamviewer but there is no monitor on machine
#1.

If that is correct, why does t surprise you that you can't see the video?
Even if you were at machine #1 you couldn't see it without a monitor. It's
sort of like asking, "Why can't I access machine #1 from machine #2 when
machine #1 is off?".

Interesting. Wouldn't it depend on the capabilities of "team viewer"?
I'd expect truly collaborative software could show *any* output captured
from the video card of "PC #1". Isn't it for sharing spreadsheets and
charts and any kind of graphics that would be shown on the originating PC?

Another very strange thing I have noticed is that VLC will display an
album cover when playing an mp3. If I use VLC to play an mp3 on the
remote machine, VLC will display the album cover in the first
instance.

Your best bet at sussing this out is to ask the teamveiwer dev team.
G00gle for a mailing list or forum. My guess would be T.V. can only
display a static image and not *any* videos.
Maybe.

Yes. But there has to be a monitor on machine #1 for you to see anything on
that machine either by sitting in front of it or viewing it remotely.

Upgrade to the latest version of VLC... BUT uninstall the old first...
then reboot... then install and pay close attention to the options,
variables and file associations.

A reasonable person has got to wonder why in the samfuck would anyone
deliberately run a movie on a dedicated P2P machine with no monitor so
they could view it remotely from an admin machine... presumabaly, you
installed your VLC from your P2P so the defaults would be to the P2P...

Please take your psycho-meds like your doctor instructed you to and/or
it says on the labels - and schedule a meds-check for ASAP!

HTH.

I will answer my own question. I installed a new version of XP and a
new version of VLC. I still had to run the second version of the
video to be able to see it on the remote monitor.

The fix is..............
You have to deactivate accelerated video output in the preferences of
your VLC player.

Had the same issue viewing video with VLC on remote system via Teamviewer. Disabling hardware acceleration fixed the issue for me. Thanks!

I have a similar problem. I am copying VCR to HDD and don't want to sit in the office and watch it, so I remote into the main (Windows 8) PC from my (Win 8) laptop in the lounge. Originally I was using TightVNC to connect to an XP media PC which had no monitor and that displayed perfectly. That is why I would want to run videos without a monitor! Since remoting from Win8 to Win8 TightVNC will not connect (although it works from Win 8 to Win 7).
TeamViewer connects and plays sound, but the preview window in the Video Recorder is blank.
