2. How to use

It is necessary to connect to the Wifi of the same LAN (segment) as the PC.

(For example, if the IP address of the PC is 192.168.10.10, the IP address of the smartphone is also 192.168.10. *)

- MPC-HC

0) MC-HC "View" => "Options" => "Web Interface", check "Listen on port".

1) Start the app => Press "Setting" button => Set the IP address of the PC to "PC Address List" on the setting screen, and select the PC to be operated from "Selected PC".

2) If you have changed the port setting on the MPC-HC, also change the "MPC Server Port" below it.

3) Return to the remote control screen with the back button (triangle mark like △) on the Android navigation bar.

4) Start MPC-HC on your PC.

- VLC

0) VLC "Tool" => "Preferences" => "Show settings", select "All"

1) "Interface" => "Main interfaces", check "Web"

2) "Main interfaces" => "Lua" , set "Password" in "Lua HTTP"

3) Start this app and push "Settings", select "VLC" and set password you set avobe

4) Set "Video Folder" according to the folder composition of your PC

3. Others

This app need to use device administration for functions below.

- Lock Screen

4. Notes

- A lag occurs because the display of the play/pause, mute, seek bar communicates with the MPC-HC and reflects it.

- MPC RemoCon background color go to dark if MPC-HC/VLC is not running on your PC.

- Can not open DVD media on VLC mode

- If you forgot password, turn off Android automatic restore option , reinstall this app, and turn on the restore option again.
