ssh and more advanced configurations

seriesx4 · 01-20-2006, 10:29 AM

Is it possible to start a movie on my laptop, and send just the sound to my server?

It won't work to start a movie via ssh as usual, because I think the encryption / decryption process isn't fast enough, so the framrate of the movie will be bad.

In other words: I'm looking for tools that would enable me to do the above, or more advanced configuration options with ssh if there are any.

look at vlc.. if your sys is fast enuff you should be able to do both.
