Description

Add a button "Open on TV" which copies the URL and sends post request to an other server which then opens this link and starts playing.

The other server is simple Node server on Raspberry pi which opens the posted url on player.

The idea is to browse youtube using laptop and then by clicking single button the video opens on TV.
