In Windows 7, when you right click on a video file in explorer and there is a "media renderer" in your network (like a smart TV), is there an option called "send to" and then you can send the video to play on the TV media server.
It would be nice to configura xbmc to play videos always into a media server in the network and not in the screen connected to the computer. This would allow controling xbmc on a laptop to search for the movie, read the info, etc. but once choosed the film to see, click on it and the movie start playing in the TV.
what about that? it is difficult to implement it?

You mean the DLNA AV feature called "Play To" right?

Yes, play to, I have Windows 7 in spanish and I translate it wrongly.
It would be useful to avoid connecting the laptop to the TV with a cable, but using it to navigate through the movies and series using XBMC library.

Why not just use the webinferface. That way you can controlled you TV ffrom your laptop. Probably in a more desktop friendly way also.

+1 I also thought of this before.
If I am understanding you correctly, You would like to see the equivalent of Win 7 "Play To" integrated directly into XBMC. This would make XBMC a UPNP ControlPoint and allow for using XBMC for easy access to sending media around the home.
Currently XBMC, is a UPNP MediaRenderer and MediaServer. Alot of the code is in place unfortunately, I do not possess the skillset to implement the idea.

hmmmm, I like where this is going. That means, I could get a upnp network receiver upstairs, and stream music to it.
What exactly is missing?

I'm waiting for it. It would be wonderful especially in the android version.
