   @foone @PatrickoftheG xine has a remote mode so you can control it from another SSH session, so you can just leave it fullscreened on the TV and then issue commands to any connected SSH session

   Something... I... have never had... as my primary... mediaserver

     @foone I've been using a crappy giant smart television hooked up to a computer via HDMI. One input away from all the files you could ever watch, also it makes computer gaming a treat.

     Wireless mouse and keyboard are pretty cheap these days too.

     An idea at least.

     Someday someone will invent a way to let you watch video files on your TV and it'll just work and it won't do weird things like "you can't watch stand up comedy" (plex) or "only 30% of your files will play" (dlna) or "if you have a video split into two halves, it can only see the first half" (jellyfin)

     That'll be a cool day.
