   Now that I've accepted that I get the best results opening full screen apps on Linux with the C64 is by using VT102 emulation in 80 columns mode (and ASCII only, no ANSI), I'm not sure what I can do to improve my LAN BBS.
   
   Same PVM that has my C64 plugged in has a Raspberry Pi running Kodi on another input.
   
   With some clever scripting, I think I could probably set it up so that when I try to open an image or video on W3M on the C64, the "viewer" is a script that curls a command to Kodi through the HTTP remote control interface to load that image or video, and I could view it by switching input. Not the most elegant way of viewing content, since I have to manually change input, but still cool.

      To add a complicating step, you might be able to use a 3rd device which embeds the other two devices' screens as windows within its own screen. This would eliminate manually toggling hardware switches at the expense of adding another place things can fail.
