Not so easy to explain this but....I have a big noisy powerful desktop, I also have many small, quiet and fanless PC's.
I want to have a Media Player running on a quiet PC but to control it from the big PC.
What I don't want is a web interface, an app on my iPhone or a physical remote. Ideally I'd have a copy of Winamp running on my big PC but it is infact controlling Winamp on a quiet PC.
Does anybody know of such an app? I don't do media libraries or iTunes, I have a five terrabyte array with folders, good old folders! I need to navigate these via an explorer interface.
I have a long IT background and can think of many ways of doing this but all require a lot of work/CPU horsepower (such as running Citrix or 2008 RDS with published apps or more crudely XP Remote desktop but that ain't neat)
I'm almost after an Airport Express type experience, where it is 'piped' to the quiet PC.
Ta!
