Controlling display I cannot see

Hi all,

I have multiple monitors on my PC. I am planning to run a HDMI cable from my PC to a television in the next room, so that I can watch videos on my Hard Drive on the TV. The problem is, if I attach the TV as an additional display, I can't control it from the other room. In other words, I move VLC player onto that screen, but how do I press play? Maximise the screen? etc etc. Surely there is an easier way of doing this, no?

Thanks in advance

in your screen resolutions settings choose "duplicate these displays" rather than extend displays. Now the same thing will be on both screens and you can press play, go full screen ect.

Wireless keyboard and mouse. If necessary, put the receiver in the same room as the tv and run the USB cable with the HDMI cable.
