Hi Paul,

I've been playing with X2go for a while now, and have a Thin Client Environment(TCE) that I PXE boot from, or copy to USB and boot via syslinux (after I've changed the initramfs.conf and regenerated the initrd so it boots locally rather than via nfs).

But Although X2go works well, its still not fast enough for watching videos. My solution was to put mplayer on the TCE and pipe video to it at the moment with netcat, but Ill probably move to a multicast solution when I get all of the other issues sorted.

So on the client I need to run the command

netcat $SERVER $PORT | mplayer -display 0:0 -

now whilst I can open up a console terminal, log into the x2goclient user and run the command, or write something that does the same it would be nice to run a command from within the x2go-session that does just that. Ive tried using x2goruncommand but it seems to kill of my currently running session.

Is there a supported way to run a command locally, from withing an established x2go session, or do I have to code something up myself

There is a mechanism to drop files into a MIMEBOX and trigger a local
application launch (only support by Python X2Go + PyHoca-GUI/-CLI,
though).

However, I guess, this is not appropriate for video streaming.

The X2Go project has some unspoken of plans to crowd-fund a code
project that gets the XV extension in NX usable with X2Go.

Having a mechanism that can be used to launch localapps (like in LTSP:
ltsp-localapp, I guess is the name) would also be awesome!

Please subscribe to http://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/x2go-dev
and discuss your ideas with the upstream developers of X2Go.

Greets, Mike
