Possible to control n900 with remote?
 
So I've been using the tv out at a hotel for a week. It's really annoying to go up to the tv everytime I finish watching something. Is it possible to use a remote or something to control the n900? Or perhaps a longer tv out cable? Thanks.

There's no IR receiver. I think your idea of a longer TV-out cable is the best option.

Or get two N900s and ssh from one into the other? Hmm. :P

Thanks for the info. Also I wish there was a way to make a playlist for videos? That could solve some things as well.

n800 + bluemaemo
n810 + bluemaemo

or a small custom remote app depending on needs.
i used a wifi one for ages, was really custom and just did enough to control mediaplayer on my windows pc.

Try opening your eyes and looking on the side by the camera button? THATS the IR port! I've just used mine to get pictures from an old Nokia I had stored. So it works.

That's the first time I've heard anybody using the IR port for receiving. Can you document the exact steps you took? Are you sure you weren't sending via Bluetooth instead?
