No devices available for playback

Hi all. I use the Ceton 'My Media Center' app on my iPhone and iPad and whenever I select 'Watch' on a recorded program I get the error "no devices available for playback". I have only one extender currently which is a Ceton Echo. This device works fine (most of the time).

I think I have seen this work in the past but sporadically. Also, in the past, I have used a Linksys DMA 2200 but I don't think this has had any bearing on the functionality of the 'Watch' button in 'My Media Center'.

For what it's worth I run my Media Center installation on a 32bit Windows 7 Virtual Machine hosted on VMWare ESXi 5.0 but I'm not sure this will have anything to do with the problem as it works perfectly in every other sense.

I have found very little info on this function online so any assistance, suggestions or tips would be gratefully received.

I'm 'technical' so any complicated suggestions would also be interesting.

Kind regards,

James

Sorry, found the answer in another thread. The MCE PC needs to be logged in on the console for this to work. Being logged in on an RDP session is insufficient. Shame but not a big problem for me.
