Best remote control would be mce remote. These are available in ebay and amazon, but not available in India readily. It is just two days back that I sold my mce remote control to another forum member. If you are interested, I have an unused IR receiver. All you need to do is install eventghost and use any remote control like that of dvd remote. With eventghost, you can control your media player even if it is not in focus. Or you can buy just the mce remote from ebay. Universal remote controls can also be used. Another option is to use android or iphone based remote controls.
