My current configuration has my htpc machine in my office and I'm running 50 ft HDMI & Optical cables from it to my Living Room's plasma and receiver. I understand (and currently use) other methods of controlling (IOS app or Web Interface) but would prefer to control it with my netbook. Is there a way (via zeroconf, etc) to mirror the office computer's XBMC onto the netbook that stays in my living room? If I'm explaining that poorly, I'll try to break it down:
-XBMC_A in the office has the full library and horsepower required to run it
-XBMC_B is installed on a crappy netbook
-While both XBMC A & B are turned on, can I control XBMC_A using a duplicate interface running on XBMC_B
That way I have complete keyboard interface while still inheriting the "bling" of surfing my media with the library mode
