Wow,
I just tried and it works perfectly...
Can you just give me some informations?

The code you posted to open x11vnc gives (in the terminal) a Warning message: "you use x11vnc without a password"... is it a problem?

It is no problem, if nobody else has access to your network. But you can protect your remote access with a password to avoid the message, see  http://www.forum-pianoteq.com/viewtopic...16#p936416
Here it is getting a bit offtopic.

... if the hints in this thread are not enough, then it is not important for you, don't worry. Take whatever works for you.

Thanks

In fact, what is the main difference with a system like teamviewer in security point of view?

Thanks in advance

Yeah but it's a securely encrypted connection.

It is irrelevant, if the man-in-the-middle server connects to my two desktops encrypted or unencrypted.

More than pseudo-security can only be achieved by real, uninterrupted end-to-end encryption between two PCs. To remote-control a Pianoteq-barebone with an android-tablet directly-connected I like x11vnc.

Sure, but very likely it would be not using Teamviewer, but some other means of hacking (like breaking down the firewall etc.).

Teamviewer is quite secure, there are no backdoors AFAIK [...]

As a "remote-control" tool it is a backdoor ;-). In fact I don't know. But keep in mind the basic function principle of tools like "teamviewer" is to connect two client-computers via a "relay-server" in the internet, that is owned by that organisation. *Me* it reminds to a man-in-the-middle attack. 

Thank you.

And in this case, you don't need to.  Windows/Mac/Linux all include remote desktop servers.  All you need is either a RDP viewer (Windows) or VNC viewer (Linux/Mac) on the tablet.

Also:

TeamViewer provides various features to prevent unauthorized access and to ensure your privacy and security:

    Access to a device is only possible with both its TeamViewer ID and password.
    For data protection reasons, it is not possible to invisibly control a computer. A small dialog is displayed in the bottom right corner of your desktop after you grant access to your device.
    One-time-only passwords for TeamViewer connections. A new password is generated with every software start. Therefore, repeated access is impossible if you shut down TeamViewer after a session ends.
    Additional confirmation is required for security-relevant functions like file transfer. It is impossible to transfer files to your device without your knowledge.
    Highly encrypted sessions (using the same standards as HTTPS or SSL). TeamViewer is considered completely safe by today's standards and is used by financial institutions and government facilities.
    Two-factor authentication for your TeamViewer account. Protect your account credentials with an optional factor in addition to name and password.

Yes, you can make it work over LAN (LINK), so WAN counts, too.

As far as I know "teamviewer" is closed-source and in its standard use-case it routes/relays your privat traffic through third-party servers on the internet. Does it have also a peer-to-peer modus, meaning direct connection  between PC and Tablet (*without* internet-connection)?

Yeah, as a long time Linux user without problems I'm not eager to install a back door.

I use it with succes with Tango studio and KX Studio. There is a native debian version, so no problem with the debian derived linux distributions.
It runs with the 3 great os families

I'm afraid to install it as it may add remote access to my computer by an outside party.  Untested,  Not a part of the Debian Library.  Unsafe in my opinion.  What needs to happen is that Pianoteq figure out how to add such an option as an upgrade or in the next release.

Just my contribution,

To use these small pc or barebones... I discovered "Teamviewer", it is an application to install on a tablet and on the pc and that allows to use the tablet as a real touchscreen monitor.
This may be helpfull for those who want to use a pc without a screen to run pianoteq but want also to have some kind of control when needed.

Is that a Linux or WinDO$ program?

$130 in the U.S. -- add 8% tax if you live in a state with sales tax.  200E is quite the extra premium.

Hmmm, I might pick up something similar to replace my old Pianoteq laptop.  Using a 6W-10W box would be nice energy savings.  By comparison, my i5 laptop uses 27W at idle.
