You might be able to get something like this running with a Freevo backend and use VLC on the frontend. Unfortunately this is one of the limits of the 1.x series I have not found a decent way around. IF you have a good enough network connection you might be able to do something with XDMCP or LTSP to get the freevo display to show up on a second box and use LIRC network features to remote control Freevo over the network..
