Using Media Player 11 to play music including skins thru TV.

by jimarmcoz Jun 14, 2010 8:03AM PDT

Hi, I have a T135 Toshiba Satellite Laptop, Windows 7 Home Premium. I want to use Media Player to play music (including the video skins) for parties using a 42 in. Plasma TV and external amplifier with external speakers. The external amp and speakers are directly connected to the TV. It seems that I should be able to do this by utilizing an HDMI to HDMI connection from laptop to TV. Am I wrong?

Since I am playing straight playlists (no mixing or fading, Media Player should be able to handle this with no problem? (except a BSOG, of course). Thanks for your help.

I have some old Lenovo y530 and when I plug the HDMI to the HDTV all this seems to work. It's not without a little work to set the resolution but it does work. I'm unsure if you tried.
