Control VLC Media Player from Your Sofa with VLC Remote

Over the past several years, VLC  has become one of the most popular video players both on desktop and mobile devices. Created by VideoLAN, VLC is fast, free, and open-source, which makes it the ideal choice for many users around the world.

If you are watching a movie, you likely don’t want to waste time by getting up from your sofa and walking to your PC in order to control playback. Everything can be done with your phone, which is usually sitting right next to you. All you need is an application written by XDA Forum Member adarshurs.

VLC Remote allows you to easily set up VLC on the PC and control it on Windows, Linux, or Mac OS X through your Android device. The built-in wizard will guide you through all the steps you have to take in order to make it work. To work properly, your phone and computer must be connected to the same WiFi network as your PC, which is to be expected.

The application is totally free and has no disturbing ads. Watching your favorite movies or streams using VLC could not be easier. You will save yourself plenty of time that can be used for other, more pleasurable activities like actually watching the content that you are trying to load.

If you use VLC  as your main video or music player, you can control it remotely with VLC Remote. You can find the application in the VLC Remote app thread.
