The help says how to add media content to currently running `rv` !

```
   To add to the media contents of the currently running RV with tag "myrv":
       rvpush -tag myrv merge [fooLeft.mov fooRight.mov] 

```

I dug up whole `rv --help`, I do not see what flag can be used with rv to set a tag so I can specify using the `rvpush` as shown in the help.

Can anyone please shed some light ?

Figured out: `rv -network -networkTag foo` now I need to find out how to keep the shotgun integration when rvpush is used  
how it is done with  
`rv -l -play -eval \'shotgun.sessionFromVersionIDs(int[] {11111});\'`

Does anyone have any clue to keep shotgun integration ?

Hi Supercool, what exactly do you mean by keep shotgun integration? Is this what you were asking about in [How to call sessionFromVersionIDs from python?](https://community.shotgridsoftware.com/t/how-to-call-sessionfromversionids-from-python/8308)?

Thanks,

Not sure if its a standard throughout all `rv`, but in rv I see menu `Shotgun` \> `Launch Browser` that opens a browser with a specific context that is passed by the version id. If I use that version I am able to keep the context information and hence the browser and other functions relating to shotgun works as context is known .

Thanks You.

Can you explain what the networkTag option does? Would this allow to also send to machines in the network rather than just RVs running on the lcoalhost machine?
