The easiest way to set up the most powerful Android VLC Remote!

Sit back, relax, and enjoy your movies and music while taking control from your sofa with VLC Remote.

Utilize our Free setup helper for quick configuration of VLC and seamless connection with your Android device in just a few button clicks.

Set up VLC for VLC Remote

It only takes a few steps to set up VLC to work with the VLC remote.

You should be able to enjoy using VLC remote in just a few minutes...

1) Download the Setup Helper

The setup helper will help VLC Remote to connect to VLC

2) Run the Setup Helper

If you use the default firewall on your system, then the helper will configure that correctly.

If you use your own firewall application, then you'll need to make sure it allows VLC to communicate through the firewall.

3) That's It!

By now, you should be able to see your computer in the VLC Remotes page under 'Found Computers'.

If VLC is running on your computer, then you should see a Traffic cone next to the computer entry.

Tap on the computer and enjoy!

If you don't see your computer immediately, you can tap on the rescan button (bottom left of the screen) to re-scan the network

4) ...Not there yet?

Don't worry if things don't work out immediately. There are a few simple things you can check, and detailed troubleshooting instructions at the troubleshooting page.

Don't want to use the setup helper? You're making things difficult for yourself, but you are welcome to follow the manual instructions for Windows, Mac or Linux !

"In a few clicks everything is ready and you just have to taste the pleasure of remote control"

✔ Helper configures VLC automatically.

✔ Control volume, position, track, play, pause.

✔ Toggle fullscreen on and off.

✔ Sleek interface design.

✔ Complete DVD controls.

✔ Manage subtitles, aspect ratio, audio track, and delays.

• Lite version limitations •

Based on user feedback, the free Lite version now offers all features except file browsing (demo available). We believe file browsing's utility warrants upgrading to the full version. It's a win-win – we make a living, and you stay comfortably on the sofa selecting your next file.

    Everything's great and functions perfectly. Maybe consider including an exit button as a suggestion for improvement.

    I connected it to my PC and it showed folders, but I couldn't do more than that. If this is just a preview of the paid full app, it didn't really impress me to make the purchase. I'm concerned that the full version might have similar issues.
