I have a question....

I have been searching for an answer to this but I am falling short of what I need and hoping one of you can help me.

I am writing a program to store information on my movie collection, maybe you have seen it on my site https://applebitemedia.com/media-organizer.php ... maybe not. Anyway....

I have a computer with server hooked up to my television. I would like to link the movie file to an external hard drive and not a server folder. I want it to open in an external program like VLC and not in a browser. I am reading that Linux security will not allow this.

If I store the files on a server folder, the file will open and play in a browser. This is not bad, but not really the way I envisioned this program working. I would like to movie to open full screen so it fills up the entire viewing space on the screen, like watching anything else on the television and not have a browser or the programs menu.

Is there a way around this?

The program is still in development and very basic but free for download. Would work for porn movies too.... since they play in the browser anyway.... just saying.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!!!

Thanks
