It&#8217;s handy to be able to share links with others via e-mail or social media but what if you&#8217;re in the same room with other people and you fancied pushing a video to the television?<\/p>\n<p>Well, if you&#8217;re running Windows 8 or Windows RT I have found a very simple solution.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s an app called <a title=\"XBMC Buddy | Windows Store\" href=\"http:\/\/apps.microsoft.com\/windows\/en-us\/app\/xbmc-buddy\/2c8ae29d-ff67-4503-a736-73fd0d984899\" target=\"_blank\">XBMC Buddy<\/a>\u00a0and it is fairly simple. it provides you a box to paste in a link to a media file such as a YouTube link which you can then fire off to your XBMC box. If your XBMC box doesn&#8217;t have the appropriate software installed to support the request it will let you know and ask you to confirm the installation prior to going ahead. After that, it is seamless.<\/p>\n<p>Another way to push a YouTube videos to XBMC is via the share charm (Window key + H on the keyboard) and then selecting XBMC Buddy from the list. Mind you, if you try to do this from the desktop version of Internet Explorer it won&#8217;t work &#8211; only the Metro version has this capability.<\/p>\n<p>I am really amazed by what a $35 piece of hardware can do with software as extensible as XBMC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>YouTube has become a staple website in terms of video streaming with it being very popular across smartphones, tablets and traditional computers alike.
