It's been a while since I did much with VNC, but my impression what that this wouldn't work even desktop-to-desktop on a lan with no encryption wrapper at all. The unencoded bandwidth requirements are through the roof, and the latency/load of any encoding mechanism intended for screen-use clobbers the video feed, plus the update detection mechanisms are likely to fail for media-player screen updates, plus I don't think VNC is capable of piping sound through the link. Basically, video over VNC is pretty much a non-starter on all fronts. There are other ways to stream video from a desktop to an Nxx0, they involve varying degrees of complication but that's the route you'll want to go. Look into UPnP and other media servers that have Nxx0 clients. Thanks, Mike Lococo
