I have a question - is it possible to disable sending URL for video playback from phone to XBMC?
It happens when I'm clicking on a URL referencing a video file in a browser on my android phone. At this point XBMC is suggesting to send for playing in XBMC.
I assume that it could be quite convenient for somebody, but it can create problems as well - for example, I'm often clicking such URLs while I'm not at home. At that point instead of playing video on my phone in a media player or downloading a file, the URL is intercepted by XBMC remote control and suggests sending it to XBMC. I cannot choose to download a file or play it in my video player on the phone. This doesn't make sense for me in most cases since I'm not even at home and cannot connect to XBMC. The only mitigation plan, which I found so far - temporarily uninstall XMBC Remote control application.
If this behavior would be optional, it would solve my problem.
Also I would appreciate if somebody could suggest some workaround for the specific problem, which I'm experiencing.
Thank you.
