Hey,
im planning to build a htpc solution for my homecinema.
Therefore im looking for a software which can handle all my media, xbmc seems to be the right choice.
But i have a question which i could not solve by using google. Is it possible to have a 21" Touchscreen and da TV connected to one pc and use the touchscreen as "remote" or infopanel? so that i can choose my mp3 or movies which a want to see/hear on the touchscreen and that the movie ist displayed on the tv? while the movie is running it would be nice if the touchscreen would be used as a infopanel showing cover of the movie or something like that.
On the other hand it would be nice if the touchscreen could be used solo, without the tv, when i only want to listen to my music.
So in short my planned build:
touchscreen via hdmi or usb to the htpc. from the htpc one hdmi to the a/v receiver and then to my tv
hopefully someone understands my problem
