Re: I [didn't] give up
Update: Hooked the second linked computer up and it plays fine. Something with the main server computer not opening powerdvd. I will try removing and installing powerdvd and see what happens while I await a response

Re: I [didn't] give up
Wow....a simple checkmark. Went through settings, since I played with so many in the setup, and compared them with the linked computer. Right click CMC and In properties I went through every setting. The only difference was run as administrator. I set that in the server while trying to get everything linked up. Removed the run as administrator, and am working again.
Of note...music played fine, it was only powerdvd that appeared to have a problem.

Re: I [didn't] give up
How interesting, I don't think I would have ever guessed that would be the root cause of that issue.
So on your server PC, you had CMC set to run as Administrator, and in turn it was failing to launch PowerDVD. I can't think of a good reason why that would cause PowerDVD to fail. Perhaps it was in my logic to check the executable's path that didn't work correctly as admin. I'll have to play around with it on my end and see if I can reproduce this scenario.
Good work on figuring it out!!!
