(solved) my current setup is as follows: i have a PC connected to my living room TV, and a Mi Box that i just picked up connected to my bedroom TV.
what i would like to do is be able to cast a Popcorntime Stream from the living room to the bedroom, from the bedroom (using the PC PCT client is a must since the android interface sucks and i trackt has never worked for me). My genius idea was to run a remote desktop and simply log in from my bedroom and start the cast. for the life of me i cant find a client that works. i've tried Splashtop, Anydesk and Teamviewer, but they all lag so much that they are unusable.
any suggestions to make this work?
thanks guys!!
Edit: Steam link works flawlessly. I steered away from windows RDP only because I didn't want to have to deal with authentication every time.
Microsoft actually makes a RDP client for Android, would need to be side loaded as its not in the AndroidTV app store. I use this on my phone and tablet to connect to my server in the closet, works fine, no lag, even when I use it over 4G.
