VLC Remote

just what i neefed. on ubuntu i had to open port 8080, this info was missing on the troubleshoot page

Configured it without help of the installer, and it works great with VLC for Mac. No extra software necessary! The best thing about it is the notification center widget, for which you don't need to unlock your phone!

Het kan altijd sneller, beter en makkelijker, maar ik ben al zo ontzettend tevreden met dit appje!

Simple, clean, does exactly wat you need. Play, stop, forward, back and toggle fullscreen. Just one flaw, when your iPhone falls asleep, after that you can't connect to your vlc player anymore. Solution, set your iPhone to never sleep during watching the movie :)

Works great. the setup was really fast and it works as advertised. no more needing to get up off the couch when i want to pause it. 5 euro for the full version is kinda pricy though. but you get even cooler features. i might buy it.

I use this app every day, very easy to use once you install it.
Like it so much I would be handicapted without!

I really like this app. It has exactly what I was looking for when watching movies on my beamer with a laptop attached that is just too far from the couch. ;-)
I really like the ability to select audio streams, subtitle tracks, browse files (full version), even on external and network drives, set the audio delay! (since I am streaming the audio wirelessly)
Easy setup.

1-2 min werk om het werkend te krijgen, duidelijke uitleg. Nu het werkt is het super! Mijn Macbook Pro is via een hdmi verbonden aan de TV welke aan de Home Cinema zit. Dus lekker vanaf de bank alles bedienen. Makkelijker dan bijvoorbeeld Teamviewer.

Voor iedereen die net zoals ik met zijn handen in het haar zat omdat de app de computer nooit meer herkende: verreweg de eenvoudigste oplossing is de huidige (vermoedelijk meest recente) versie van VLC deinstalleren en via Google de oudere versie 2.0.0 installeren. App werkt verder prima, ik overweeg de uitgebreidere versie aan te schaffen.

Astounding as it sounds, this app will not find VLC playing on my MacBook Pro whereas VLC Remco (from another manufacturer) will find it perfectly. I followed all the steps on the site, spent about an hour. Too bad, I would have paid the money for the full version too.

Doet wat het belooft. Reclame is een beetje irritant, zit in de weg. Daarom de volle versie gekocht en ook daarom maar 4 ipv 5 sterren. Geinig appje.

Je hebt full versie nodig om ook maar iets te mogen doen, kan alleen leuk wat rond browsen door je bestanden.. Daadwerkelijk dingen afspelen gaat niet.

They made it crap, now u cant control anything unless u get the full version.
I had the app before on my 3G back then it worked perfect.

This app evolved from a cool app which provided the option to operate with 1 hand, 1 finger even, into an annoying shtyupit buggy app which is only practical for volume control...
U could much better use teamviewer!

For a free remote it works ok. For the people that cant get it to work, open vlc player on your mac or pc and fill in your ip. Its not that hard.

Thanks a lot! It works perfect, even on my iPod Touch 1G. I am very happy with this app!

Werkt erg goed deze remote! Ik heb de volledige versie gedownload omdat die iets meer mogelijkheden en geen reclame heeft! aanrader

After some tweaking it works with an ad-hoc network with my laptop, however for some reason it keeps disconnecting after some minutes. this makes getting your keyboard quicker than using the remote. Might be fixable by using a keep-alive to stop disconnection. When this problem is resolved this might become one of my favorite apps
