How to play videos of my laptop in my android phone using ssh?
I have installed ssh in both 'Ubuntu 18.04.2' and android phone(moto e4 plus).
Now I have connected remotely my laptop with my android phone.
Now I can control all the things with the android like editing file, creating files, rebooting, deleting etc.
But When I am trying to play videos of my laptop in my phone using the command--
COMMAND 1 :
mpv play.mp4
then it gives the error..
ERROR :
Playing: play.mp4
(+) Video --vid=1 () (vp9 1280x720 23.976fps)
(+) Audio --aid=1 --alang=eng () (opus 2ch 48000Hz)
Segmentation fault
Now I am trying to play same video with the another video player (smplayer) using the command
COMMAND 2 :
smplayer play.mp4
this time it gives different error
qt.qpa.screen: QXcbConnection: Could not connect to display
Could not connect to any X display.
What's the problem ? How can i Play videos ?
ssh smplayer mpv-media-player

Are you trying to stream the videos to your phone??? If so the short answer is no you can't use ssh to play video on your phone. SSH is a text based protocol. The no display error you're seeing is because you are running that command in that remote terminal session and it doesn't have a display it can use. For playing the videos on your laptop on your phone your best bet will be to use something like samba to setup a share and stream from there. To have things start on your laptop you'll most likely need to set the display parameter. Have a look here gerardnico.com/ssh/x11/display

You need to run a player on the phone, and not on Ubuntu. Transferring uncompressed video frames over ssh will never work.

Ok, let's start again, the player must be installed and run on the phone. You can use a file manager on the phone to connect to Ubuntu via sftp(provided by ssh), then select a media file on Ubuntu remotely, and it will play on the phone. Typing commands on the phone keyboard does not ensure they run on the phone, this is ssh after all. Hope it is clear.
