remote vlc display
 
Usually I control what I watch on my main box from my laptop via ssh. From my laptop I ssh to the desktop and issue:
Code:

mplayer -display :0.0 file.avi
The video is being played on the desktop but I can control it from my laptop. I don't seem to find a way of doing the same with VLC. Please advise.

Thanks

Can't you use DISPLAY=:X before the vlc command?
Code:

DISPLAY=:0 vlc file.avi &

Yeah, that's what I ended up doing. Thanks for your reply.

No problem. Does it work as you wanted it to?

Yep. Just need to customise keybindings.
