I do a weekly home game and currently I use a small NUC box to hook up to my TV, that I display a session of Roll20.net on for my players. They interact with their tokens using a wiimote. This works OK for us but the problem is lag. Sometimes the wifi just blows in that area and the whole show just becomes a painful laggy mess. So I would like to switch to Maptools for a more lag free experience. What I would like to do is on my (viewer machine) that is hooked to the TV, is when I turn it on, I would like to boot into OS and using a batch script fire up Maptools. All this I can achieve now but I would also like Maptools to automatically connect to my server which is on the LAN on a static IP. I looked around but I could not see a feature to do this. Is something like this even possible or am I stuck having to bring a keyboard and mouse every time?
Thanks for the help!
Is this possible with MapTool? (Auto Connect)

AFAIK, command line server and later on headless server are things in the pipeline, but currently not possible.

Thanks for info, guess we will just have to be patient.

I'm just curious since I use MT on a TV, but how does the Wii Remote work with your setup? Does it just act like a mouse, is it like a laser pointer that can move tokens, or is it like a touch screen (which I have heard can be done with a Wii Remote)?
I would love to turn my TV into a touch screen for players to move their tokens much easier.
