Trigger shell command by scanning an NFC / RFID sticker?
I just saw this hack which made me really want to do something similar.
At home I have two small kids, a TV connected to a linux pc which has a ton of kids's videos. I'm thinking I should be able to kludge together ...something... so that I could give my kids a little box of "movie covers" that, when scanned, start the corresponding media (basically firing off a VLC command).
But I don't have a reader for my pc, and I don't actually know how to pick a good one (or whether I should use NFC or RFID), and how I would make it "always available" for scanning something.
What I can find online requires running a command before each scan, or is targeted at mobile OS'es, or is simply too scant on details.
Any guidance?
