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

Classic example of arbitrary Nokia decision making. Couldn't just fallback to the no brainer of tagging with lat/lon if network isn't accessible, could you Nokia?

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.
