title: Can AppleScript initiate Quicktime playback over the a local network?
body: <p>I've searched for a similar question but didn't find anything relevant. This question  <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10728854/closing-quicktime-by-applescript">Closing QuickTime by Applescript</a> is somewhat similar but doesn't address the network aspect of my question. </p>
  
  <p>Specifically I would like to be able to press a "Play" button on one Mac and have Quicktime player(or similar app) start playback of a video-file simultaneously on one or more other computers on the LAN. The video files on the other computers are not necessarily identical to one another.</p>
  
  <p>Latency could be an issue but I think that in situ testing could accommodate that well enough for my purposes.</p>
  
  <p>More fundamentally, it doesn't have to be AppleScript/Quicktime Player. An off-the-shelf app written specially for this purpose would also be acceptable - better, maybe. </p>
  
  <p>thanks in advance</p>
