As there is currently no audio support for Windows in Qubes OS:
Can I use any of the Qubes windows tools to copy a video file to a Linux vm and
have it start playing there?
The file should only be copied to a temp directory, and not put in
QubesIncomming.
Which tool/syntax will let me do this?
there are two ways:
1) (the better way if you can get a working setup)
for sound/video you can use streaming software (i did this some time ago).
you have a windows vm W and some linux vm N.
you set N as netvm for W.
then you use some virtual soundcard (i think i used hifi cable) and some
streaming software to stream the sound to the linux vm (i can't remember
what i used.)
on N you receive the stream.
since you can hear all audio output of a linux vm, you will hear sound
from W.
my setup was fiddly and had about 2 sec audio delay. (but i did not
really bother to fix it, so you probably can do better)
2)
again have some linux vm N as netvm of a windows vm W.
then you can use public folders on W and mount the public folder on N.
now you can play the video from N.
i used both methods for a while (until i completely switched to linux
for all my work-flows).
in both cases i did not use the windows tools.
if you have working windows tools, you should have a qvm-open-in-dispvm
command .
you could also try this command.
(i am not really sure whether the windows tools contain this command)
