Gotham 'Play Using' feature question. - Three6ZeroCool - 2013-11-12

Giday, new forum user here... My first post, so please excuse any ignorance.

I have been using Gotham builds on various Windows, IPad, and Android tablets, and trying
the 'Play Using' feature to send AV to another running instance of XBMC.
What a great feature.

My question:
Is it possible to configure XBMC Gotham to define a Play Using target as the default player?.
eg. Running Gotham on a tablet, select a video file, and it plays on my main HTPC running XBMC.

Obviously at present, I have to select file on tablet, and use contextual menu to select Play Using target computer running XBMC.

I was wondering if there was an easier method to instigate UPNP playback of the Play Using feature than accessing contextual menu?.

Again, apologies for any ignorance.

..kind regards..
..Dean..

Currently not, but hopefully we'll better handle this in the GUI in the future.
