SUMMARY
On spotify you can switch between different machines, so for example if you
need to leave the computer you can just 'switch' to the phone and it will be as
if you were listening on that device from the beginning. I wish this could work
with youtube (& others) as well, over kdeconnect. NO MORE I say, no more
scrubbing through the timeline of a youtube video you had to "Open on 'phone'"
as a caveman to get to where you were and be off by a few seconds or even
minutes.
So what if... you could just have a little icon in the kcon notification for
media playback... say a shuffle icon kinda thing next to the playback buttons
that could open that video on the phone with no extra input? And the video
should continue at the very second as well. Same thing should also be available
in the kcon app as well and kcon tray indicator. An easy way to open whatever
kcon got from plasma-browser-integration: youtube videos primarily.
The process should be possible because:
1. kcon already has the information of what video is watched on youtube and
it's timeline position thanks to plasma-browser-integration
2. kcon can then receive the video and have it opened on the phone
The only change needed is add '&t=150' for example at the end of the url for
the youtube video to open it at the time specified, so in this case 2min 30sec.
The reverse though... that would require kcon to be able to see a youtube video
is playing. So perhaps if kcon can read notifications it can also have the same
'switch' icon/button send the video to the desktop and have it play there.
