Is there a media server controllable over web. Solved thanks
Hello
What I really want is a pc feeding my hdmi tv that is controlled by my laptop. I have the pc running puppy tahr605 feeding the tv working well but the tv is too far away to read, say youtube, so I need the tv pc controlled by my laptop which I can see and read.
I think thats clear but it often isn't.
I have an audio server running daphile feeding my audio system but with a web interface so I run it from laptop. I need similar to feed the tv.
An ideas please.
Thanks

You can try MythTV, but last time I tried it, it was not the easiest application to configure. It's closest application to your requirements I can think of.
Thanks jsbjsb001
That looks a bit to complicated for me but I will give it a try.
The tv server at the moment does all I need except I have to go close to it to go to a particular web site or read youtube search. Is there any way I can take over control of the tv server pc remotely from my seat and the laptop.
I have just tried teamviewer that does exactly what I want, control the desktop of the media server from the laptop.
Thanks for the help jsbjsb001.
All the best
