iPad as remote for XBMC server?
#1
hello everyone
I have a question and hope that someone is able to help mit with this issue:

I want to connect a Media Server running Windows and XBMC via HDMI or network cable to 2 TV screens and 2 stereo systems.
And I want to connect an iPad via wifi to the Media Server too.


My question is:
Is it possible and how is it possible to use the iPad as a remote for the TV and Stereo devices.

Example:
I want to stream a video file from the Media Server to TV screen 1 and another video file to TV screen 2 and at the same time play an audio file on stereo 1 and/or stereo 2.
The iPad should then work as a remote to tell the Media Server to stream which file to which device.

I would be very thankful if someone could give me some advice on setting up the described connections/software.

tbh i think this isn't possible with running only one instance of xbmc. Only one ouput (video and audio) at the same time is supported.
