Where this requirement is coming from?

I am working on my laptop the entire day, and i wanted someway to remotely play videos on my television and also play music on the speakers. Bought a raspberry pi2, wifi adapter, and installed the raspbian os. It can very easily play 1080p videos which is pretty awesome considering its size and price. To play videos/audio i wrote a server and omxplayer python client that sits on rpi2. And finally wrote a webapp to control the server. This works out pretty well for me and achieves my purpose.

Let me know if you have fixed similar problems in any other way. Also, regarding the youtube/netflix player which can be controlled by the mobile app. The limitation is that the content is restricted to only netflix and youtube. So using combination of omxplayer and youtube-dl supports lot of other content providers.

Any other way of doing this is also welcomed.
