Hi
Just wondering if anyone knows how to get content (video/audio streams) to play on the XBMC, by sending them directly from a browser.

I am particularly interested in sending youtube's mp4 streams to play directly on xbmc, while browsing youtube from a computer. There used to be a quite elegant bookmarklet and a firefox plugin solution available... but they are now all broken.

Any suggestions on how to achieve this? Pointers to reference so I can code something would be cool too.

You can use httpapi, jsonrpc or eventserver to start playback. Any of the above would probably be usable from a plugin but I'm guessing jsonrpc might fit best with browser plugins. Wikipedia should have somewhat good documentations how to get it going on any of the subsystems.

Cheers,
Tobias

Should be a fairly easy job using the http api and this existing Greasemonkey script:

There used to be a firefox plugin for this, but this was when webvideo was still a lot simpler (before Flash took hold).
