Is there away to mirror a session of qlcplus to another pc, I have qlcplus on a server base setup the pc is located on the roof, last year I remote into the pc via Chrome RDP but when I played the show it was lagged about a second behind.

I just tested that out, and there is no way to load a show on the web interface. I am not a software programmer but won't there be away to add a mirror function in the software, so pc 1 and pc 2 has qlcplus but they are mirror together.. But for now is there any other way to access the Shows icon remotely?

What do you want to achieve exactly?
With web interface, you can remotely load a project, and push widgets in the Virtual Console.

I want to be able to remote in to the functions and shows tab, to program a show, not live control.

You are mostly out of luck here. Functions and Show tab is not implemented in web interface as you have noticed. Since it's so huge amount of work don't expect it to be added soon.
What you can try:
- optimize RDP - disable animations, lower bit depth (e.g. use 16 bit colors), etc. VNC is usually slower than RDP so you most probably won't gain anything by switching to VNC.
- edit the file locally, and only send DMX data to the remote computer. To do so, pick either E1.31 or ArtNet, and make remote QLC+ to route incoming E1.31 to it's normal output
(for your DMX universe, check passthrough, check input at E1.31 or ArtNet, leave output as it is). Make your local QLC+ output E1.31/ArtNet to the remote QLC+.
When the file is prepared, upload it and all related files (icons, audio, video) to the remote computer and use either RDP or webinterface to start the show. Don't forget to disable passthrough.

The web interface is not for project design.
VNC (or similar) is probably the solution for you

Running local then transferring to the server rack pc was an idea but what I ran into last year was the pic in the server rack is link to the video server via mtc timecode I was sending the track through the headphone jack and audio out through the main but anyway when I program the video sync is very important. Does anyone know of anything that is faster than google chrome rdp and window rdp does not work because it loses the audio plug ins
