Currently, I use a very old Linux computer as a TV driver. As this not have at this time any TV-like player, I had to reach physically the computer to next movies, shutdown the "TV", ... I had to wake up from my bed to pass to the next video. It should be solved ASAP.
So, until my TV-like player is installed, I've installed a remote screen sharing. There is a lot of tutorials about remote desktop, but not a lot for screen sharing. Here is how to achieve it.
Firstly, install vino:
# apt-get install vino
Then, configure it:
$ vino-preferences
Finally, activate it on startup:
$ xfce4-session-settings
If vino is not dispayed on it, just add a new task having this startup command:
/usr/lib/vino/vino-server
This should be working with other Debian based OS, but I only tested it with Debian 7 + XFCE4.
