[Wolves] using a android tablet too control xmbc media centre

[Mike Hingley]

Richard - I have done that exact thing - my XBMC is a raspberry pi as well..
There is an rough -ish  guide (of sorts) on my blog @ http://titaniumbunker.com/?p=2651
There are a couple of buttons you need to enable on XBMC (all graphical) and then you can use the remote like a standard remote.
Hope that helps.  I'll try and pop the last couple of screen shots on there (probably tomorrow night).

        i have set up a laptop with linux mint with xmbc media
          centre/player , i want now to be able to control it with
          android tesco tablet , is that possible?

          

        
        my first thought was to use google remote desktop but i wonder
        if there a better easy solution then that? so the user can
        choice what programme to watch via netflix and other streaming
        services.

        

        thanks for your help please ask for anymore info..

    Hi Mark,

    

    I have been playing with XMBC on a Raspberry Pi and have got a Tesco
    Hudl working as my remote. You can download the official XBMC remote
    control app from the Google Play store. It works over your LAN, but
    you'll need to manually configure the Android app with the IP
    address of your XMBC machine as there's no auto-scan.

    

    Cheers,

    

    Richard.
