What is Reddit's opinion of VLC Mobile Remote - PC & Mac?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I recommend Unified Remote too. It can be handy for many things and one of them is VLC. If you want though something only for VLC then you could try VLC Mobile Remote.

EDIT : All the codes have been claimed, thank you.

Why not just use VLC's HTTP interface and either use a web browser, or a VLC remote app?

Listen music in VLC and use any VLC remote app on Play/App store - for example https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=adarshurs.android.vlcmobileremote

It has all features you need and no coding needed.

Edit: Unless you actually wanted to make something for yourself - in that case, start with basic web ui and asp.net core app which sends commands for play/pause/next/previous to your player of choice or emulates that same keys from keyboard.

I have media players throughout my apartment. Apple TV, Laptops with DVI to TV hook ups, and Rokus (my roommates and I each use something different). I have 1 row of control-apps.

• Remote App for iphone (control Apple TV)
• VLC Remote - iOS and Android (control VLC)
• Remote Mouse - iOS and Android (bluetooth trackpad to control desktop on computer during DVI hookups)
• Roku Casting for iOS and Android (for controlling Roku)

Plex can stream out via DLNA, and VLC can play/stream DLNA media. Maybe you can use the VLC remote app to start a stream on VLC running on your home theatre? So you can get the media stream directly without having to use a UI on the home theatre

You might want to look into this:

Not sure if there is an iOS equivalent though.
