VLCRemote

Are you tired of getting up to change the volume or skip a track while your movie is perfectly paused on the big screen? VLCRemote transforms your Android device into a powerful, dedicated command center for your VLC media player, letting you control playback, browse libraries, and manage streams without ever touching your computer. Stop fumbling with keyboard shortcuts and start enjoying true wireless control.

Core Control Capabilities

This app provides a direct, tactile interface for the VLC media player running on your desktop or server. It establishes a stable connection over your local Wi-Fi network, translating every tap on your phone into an instant action on your media. You get full transport control, including play, pause, stop, next, previous, and precise seeking via a scrub bar. The system also supports volume up/down and mute, with visual feedback on your device screen. For power users, VLCRemote offers direct access to playback speed adjustment, A-B repeat loops, and the ability to change audio tracks or subtitle streams on the fly.

• Full Playback Transport Suite – Control play, pause, stop, skip, and seek with instant visual feedback on your phone.
• Direct Volume & Speed Control – Adjust volume, mute, and set playback speed from 0.5x to 2.0x without touching your PC.
• Library Browsing & Queue Management – Browse your VLC media library and drag-and-drop items into the current playlist.

• Advanced A-B Repeat Loop – Set precise start and end points for looping a specific section of a video or audio file.

Seamless Connection & Setup

The app handles the technical complexity so you can focus on your media. It automatically discovers VLC instances on your local network using the VLC HTTP interface. You can also manually enter the server IP address and port for a custom setup. The interface is optimized for one-handed use, with large, tappable buttons that provide haptic feedback. The connection status is always visible, and the app includes a reconnection timer for stable, long-session control.
