What I'm trying to figure out is how to use my 10" android cheap tablet on home WiFi as a touch screen file selector for file from PC. I have a corner gaming desk I have 2 laptops currently sitting on I plan to mount the TV right in the corner of the desk but on the wall. And run all the wires and cables in the corner and have the TV mounted only a few inches of the desk. This way I wont be straining my neck to watch videos while working at the laptops. I plan to also have the desktop tower that will be running kodi under the desk. I will have 3 external hard drives plugged into the tower and a few flash drives every once in awhile. But for the most part I plan to keep extra mouses and keyboards off the desk as much as possible.
So here is what I want to do if possible. I want to see all the media files on the PC on the tablet and be able to click on the file and it play on the PC. I don't travel or use the tablet to hold the actual files so all I want to do is use the tablet as a way to select the files and open them on the PC. Is something like this do able and if so what is the best options on doing this.
I did here there is a kodi app but I wont be using it to play the files on the tablet only viewing what I have on the PC and playing it over the PC as if the tablet was a remote control.
I hope this makes sense. And yes I do have a extra mouse and keyboard but currently I have 2 mice on the desk and 2 laptops so having a bunch of other stuff laying on the desk would become a bit difficult to handle. So the tablet would be kept next to the desk.
Now if kodi will not do what I need it to do is there a different app that I can use with kodi to get this to work.
I hope the members that read this post can understand what I'm trying to do.
