Recently installed the Radeon 6450 graphics card with the hdmi output to the tv on my n40l box and using the whs 2011 server interface. Works fine when controlling from the server.
But I want to rdp into the server and control the output to the tv. (selecting movies etc.) When logging via laptop to do that, plays nicely on the laptop. I want it to play on the tv via laptop rdp session.
Logging into the server from the laptop discontinues the session showing on the tv from the server direct and throws me back to playing the movies on the laptop, which isn't what I bought the card for.
Want to control hdmi output of the server thru the laptop and not have to run it thru the server seperately. I'm flummoxed. I have win 8 media center on my laptop, but doesn't seem to allow choices as to where the output goes, usually just use vlc on the laptop to access server shares to play on laptop. Now I want server shares shown on laptop to play out from the server via hdmi to tv.
Hope this makes sense. Even tried a dual screen deal to no avail. Any answers? Must be something easy I am missing. BRGDS, TIA.

ps. I am aware the whs 2011 is basically crippleware when it comes to windows media center.
