Thanks for all the replies. I'll give them a try when I get some time.
As I think through the process, I'd:
SSH -X into computer B from computer A.
Start Mplayer with -display :x (whichever one works)
At that point, the video is displayed on computer B, and input comes
from computer A. I see from:
http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/MPlayer.html#commandline
that there are a number of keyboard controls I can use, and I could set
up a remote with LIRC, which I still have from back when I was using
MythTV.
If those assumptions are correct, then this should be a workable
solution. Actually, Mplayer by itself may be a workable solution without
using the laptop. Part of the issue is being able to see all of the
screen. This TV doesn't handle under-scan, so the edges are not
displayed. But with keyboard control, that may not matter.
Anyway, when I get the time I'll try them both and report my results.
Thanks again for the replies.
