Using an Apple tablet to control your Emby Theater on Windows

[rendermandan 2]

I currently have Emby Theater running on my HTPC.   I also have the App on my iPad. 

What I'm looking for is the ability to have the ipad Emby app interface act as a remote control for Emby Theater running on my HTPC.  Basically, it would be like a touch screen instead of using the remote or mouse.  I've tried looking at casting the HDMI signal to my iPad, but I'd like it to just keep the interface up showing the guide, or movie icons etc. .  Ie, not show the video that is playing.

Almost all of the emby clients can remote control each other. Just click the cast icon from within a client and you can see which other clients are connected and available to be controlled.

 

Here's my android phone able to see a chrome browser I'm also logged into:

 

 

Once connected; you can browse media and the item you're viewing will be displayed on the remote client. Pressing play will start playback on the remote client; then playback controls should pop up.

Wow, thanks!  I didn’t know you could do this.   This is exactly what I wanted.
