[opensuse] Is it possible to start video playing on another computer?
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi. So I'm reading email in my desktop and a post arrives "see this interesting youtube video". I start viewing it, and decide that I want to watch it on my "media server", another openSUSE machine that I use as media server. How can I launch the youtube there? I need to transfer the URL. Sometimes I just type the boring sequence of letters in the youtube search box. I can of course write the URL in a file and copy it over with scp. Any chance of doing things the android or windows way of swiping the finger on the screen and sending the video flying to the waiting media server machine, but with openSUSE instead? :-) It's ok if I don't get to the finger thing, just some command... :-) - -- Cheers Carlos E.

Another option is to have Kodi+Youtube app on the media-server ( which you may already have, and configure Kodi to allow access through it's webinterface ). That does the trick for me too.

I'm using Kodi already there, so that could be it. sync clipboard seems interesting, though, just the thing I do transferring a file instead. But I don't use kde. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)

I found a quick and dirty way: 1) in the desktop, I open in a terminal an ssh session to the media center, and edit a file there with the link. 2) in the media server, in firefox I open that file (file:///home/user/paste.txt). Select, copy and paste to a new tab, done. 3) If I edit again the file, in firefox I just reload the page to see it. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)

You don't need all of kde to run Kdeconnect. It will sync clipboards between all your android and Linux machines. -- After all is said and done, more is said than done.
