Hi Les.
For your everyday playback that you would normally use a media player for there’s the mTelePlayer...
For online media there will be a mTelePlayer browser plugin.
The fundamental thinking behind the Telekinesis framework and the mTelePlayer is to having a minimal impact on server side resource usage...
The following video is an early demo of A high resolution 1080p movie trailer playing through X2Go Telekinesis with the mTelePlayer, on a 1080P monitor: http://www.gznianguan.com/x2go/mTelePlayer_telekinesis_demo01.mov (Actually to be fair... thats a 2.39:1 aspect ratio file... so the actual size of the picture is 1920x804, but its a proper high quality trailer not the less...)
To get flawless performance you'd need a client that support hardware acceleration of media playback, and enough BW between the client and server to transport the media info in a timely fashion.. And if you want surround sound, you'd ofcourse need hardware on the clientside that support such things..

Any chance of throwing in a chromecast/airplay-like streaming video mirror in the process (w/h.264 compression and decent performance...)? That might stir up more interest.
We are currently working on some other solution for video playing... (keywords: TeleKinesis with TelePlayer).
What devices/apps would be able to send to that?
