Portable Casting/Remote Control of Tablet

Hi All,

Looks like we've got a long drive coming up with the little one; and as she doesn't like being stuck in the car, I was thinking about setting up my tablet (Nexus 10) so she can watch some TV shows or something.

But as she is currently rear-facing, I wouldn't be able to reach the tablet to initiate things without stopping the car and getting out, is there any way to use another device (i.e. my phone) to play/pause select what is showing/playing on the tablet? i.e. like 'casting to your tv?

Anyone?

 

Not that I've tried it on a tablet but can you put kodi on it and then use the kodi remote?

My little'n has a kodi setup, if she gets up too early we turn it on and stick a film on

 

Not aware of the kodi remote, but will give it a try! ta.

 

Bluetooth keyboard with track pad or even just a Bluetooth trackball if the content is pre-installed?

I use a Logitech M570 trackball effectively with mine.

Don't you need a WiFi network for the Kodi remotes?

 

Bluetooth kb - good idea, but I wont be able to see what I'm doing...

 

Tried it, took over a fooking hour, but eventually got it to work. Thanks!
