[MPlayer-cygwin] How to launch Mplayer on Win Xp Pro via Telnet

[Dimmich Damian]

You could always try to get terminal server
working and rdesktop to it from linux...
although that would probably cause the playback to be
played back over the network to the screen you are
rdesktoping from and not the one you want unless you
can (via X for example) specify which screen to output
to...
Good luck.
