buddy any remote so far to work on your pc you should be connected to the same dchp ip/lan mode.... if you are connected to your mobile using a hotspot your pc and your phone is in a different ip pool. your pc is on a public ip if you are connected through a dongle and your phone is a on a private ip pool/dchp ip when connecting through hotspots...

so the lan mode never happens there.

or else you would need to create a virtual lan network for your pc and then get your phone connected to the same virtual lan then it might work...
[Android Apps and Games] local_root:
hotspot network

So this app works only on internet connection.so it does not work in LAN MODE?

it would be more nice if it will work with LAN mode without internet connection..hope we can use it using wifi direct..i can cast screen,play video,share photo to my sony bravia tv from my nexus5. using wifi direct without internet connection ..so i think dev should make wifi direct supportable..
[Android Apps and Games] Ch3vr0n:
It works just fine on LAN here, its just that your devices have to be connected to the same 'device' that hands out their IP. In your case your phone is connected to 1 device when using hotspot and your PC another, which is why they don't find each other. Instructions clearly say devices have to be in the same IP pool.

can you attach it to op post?
[Android Apps and Games] adarshurs:
It is possible to make it work through internet (if not through local network) , but need to setup a server and user should have to install a software on their PC. but response time may vary from 1-5 seconds, So If more users want it, I may consider to develop it in future.

Thanks

Hi [MENTION=5565399]local_root[/MENTION],

I have tried to create hotspot on my laptop (It has Ethernet connection not Data card), but I could not able to create the hotspot at all.

I dint even know about creating a hot spot on PC, so never come across this issue. And now I am busy on my other work, but In my free time I'll definitely look in to this issue.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] local_root:
Adarsh first of all thank you for quick reply..

Finally i managed connect it sucessfully using cdma dongel(dial up connection)

my PC having dialup conection using a dongel...i turn my laptop into hotspot using my inbuild wifi adapter.my nexus5 is connected to my laptop and now i can control vlc using my phone..
[Android Apps and Games] adarshurs:
Glad it is working :)

Do you know why it dint work previously and what changes have you made to your laptop hot spot?
[Android Apps and Games] local_root:
Before i created hotspot manually using cmd in my window 8.1...but now i tried a free hotspot application...which let me access that ip address in my mobile..So your app will work on dialup connection also as long as you have inbuild wifi adapter..so u can turn that wifi adapter into hotspot or virtual router..

[Android Apps and Games] adarshurs:
Thanks for the replay

Thank you for your replay. It will help me in the future. I was trying to install the same software (mhotspot) on my laptop yesterday, but it dint (some problem in my system, I'll have to re install OS, it takes time. So could not able to try it ).

Anyway If you want upcoming paid features for free, enroll to beta program (See the first post of this thread).

Enjoy the app, I hope you will also change the app review :)

Again thank you :)
[Android Apps and Games] local_root:
Welcome dude..if you need any help for creating hotspot just ping me..n sure i can be beta tester..

Hey [MENTION=1754043]Ch3vr0n[/MENTION],

Let me explain something,

After you choose a file from the app to play, browse list does not update (it is actually impossible, unless you open another folder or tapping 'back', 'drives' or 'home' button ) even though you navigate from browse list screen to controls screen/playlist screen and vise-versa, it will remain showing the opened folder items. If you press reconnect button or come back from settings/info page, it will update the browse list but with folder previously opened not documents folder (or not any other folder). However after choosing a file, if you navigate back to Computers list page or if you close the app. then again going to browse list screen will opens the documents folder. That's how I implemented it.

So, If the app works as I mentioned above on your device then there is no problem, you can tell me your suggestion how can I improve it :)

If it is not working as I mentioned above on your device, please check with any of your friends device once (Because I have tested in nexus 5 and nexus 7 (rooted) devices, it works properly). Then let me know, if it is working differently on your device. And I recommend you to test it on some other OS (other than Vista)

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] BabboDemonio:
Great app! Is it possible to add the feature to change the audio language?
[Android Apps and Games] adarshurs:
Thank you,

currently it is not possible to add audio track (VLC does not allow to add audio files), but if more than one audio tracks available in the media file, you can switch (toggle) between them. If VLC supports this feature in the future, I'll implement it.
[Android Apps and Games] till22:
As far as I remember, you can in VLC: Right click on screen > Audio > Audio track

.. but I don't remember if this is for baked in tracks or for adding new tracks. I imagine you know VLC's options better than I do ;)
[Android Apps and Games] adarshurs:
It is possible to add external audio track file manually. But using VLC: Right click on screen > Audio > Audio track allows only to choose one in available audio tracks or disable audio track. Also I haven't found any official documentation to add through http request (Ex: from the mobile app). But I have added subtitle files from the app (it works) , but the same method not working for audio track files :(

Additional info:

Trying to add subtitle files from the app causes VLC to opens up a additional error message window (not always, but it irritates user) , so I have't added 'adding subtitle' feature to the app yet.
[Android Apps and Games] My1xT:
I shall try it...

[MENTION=635898]athome[/MENTION] and [MENTION=6027500]adarshurs[/MENTION] -- I tested the vlc remove app and I wanted to thank you for this excellent app. I setting up on my linux desktop with 40" Sony XBR tv, it was painless and easy!!

I couldn't find "Stop" button, all I have is rew, pause, forward and maybe you might want add stop button. Just suggest. :good:

Again, Thank you a million!!
[Android Apps and Games] adarshurs:
Thanks

You are the second person asking for Stop button. I thought stop button is useless. that's why I did not add it. If it is so useful, I'll definitely add it. Hey [MENTION=5969049]till22[/MENTION] what do you think
[Android Apps and Games] goast:
Only thing I could think of would be a power on to turn vlc on in the PC but I'm thinking that's not possible
[Android Apps and Games] till22:
[MENTION=6027500]adarshurs[/MENTION] I don't need it because it makes no sense on a digital device. There's no "usage" of the file while in pause which is bad for the file like for cassette or VHS tapes.. But it's your app, if you think you make people happy go for it ;)
[Android Apps and Games] chrootz:
[MENTION=6027500]adarshurs[/MENTION] - It really no big deal and it works for me anyways ;)
[Android Apps and Games] adarshurs:
You are right, but there is work around

VLC player is also a server, so VLC Mobile Remote always communicate with that server. Once it is ON, you can send requests /receive responses. But with out a server you do not have anything to communicate. So it is not possible to start VLC through app (It is possible to close/quite/exit VLC)

But there is a solution, on Windows (xp/vista/7) and Windows 8. On Windows you can set an app to start automatically when your system (PC) starts (boots up) . Using that method, you can start VLC automatically when system boots up (Switched on), then you can use the app as usual.

---------- Post added at 02:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:29 PM ----------

You have a point :)

But one user suggested me to "Long press pause button" to stop?

What do you think?
[Android Apps and Games] till22:
I wouldn't do that because of accidentally long pressing the pause button ;) You could maybe make this an option in the settings menu: "Enable pause long press for STOP" or somethign of the kind.
[Android Apps and Games] adarshurs:
Nice, I think you always give good suggestions. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] chrootz:

Thanks to both of you. I can't click on thanks because "Sorry, you are limited to 8 thanks per day" ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Mix3d:
Not at home, so I cant test all of the UI, but I would look into styling the viewpager indicators to match the theme more... the default values work, but look like they were just copy pasted in. I like where It's headed though!
[Android Apps and Games] raisage:
I think I just used up my last thanks ?

Allow me to be the third person to request a stop button of some kind, as well.
[Android Apps and Games] BetaLyte:
Great app, I really dig the design and feel of it. I do miss some functionality though, before I can make it my default app:

* Adjust volume by using the phones hardware volume keys.

* Auto-pause video on incoming call.

With these two functions, I would definitely use it as my default VLC remote.

Keep up the great work!
[Android Apps and Games] supergaijin:
I just got back to the forum, so I see some feedback regarding the pause button vs. stop button. as I explained, if you pause a video, it keeps the computer screen on. thus, even though there is no tape to get damaged as in a vcr player left on pause, your computer screen will be on for a long time if you forget to stop a video before walking away from it. I've done that before. Obviously, it makes no difference if I forget and leave home, as I'll no longer be on my home network, but it's still good for if you're at home and want to take a break longer than a few minutes from the video. Ignoring the potential for burn-in, pausing for a while can cause transient image persistence .

The suggestion of having it as an option in the settings for long press of the pause button to stop the video is a good way to handle this. some apps give the option to set the duration of a press to determine a long press (like swiftkey), so a person can set it to perhaps a minimum of 250 milliseconds to 5,000 for the range.
[Android Apps and Games] adarshurs:
Thank you [MENTION=4865332]BetaLyte[/MENTION]

[Android Apps and Games] adarshurs:
Hi, I don't understand what is wrong with viewpager indicator (It is custom style, not just copied) , could you explain bit more. If possible upload the image.

Thanks

---------- Post added at 06:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:30 AM ----------

Hi [MENTION=4140365]supergaijin[/MENTION]

You are genius :) , thank you.

Stop button is coming, But instead of 'hold pause button' to stop, what if just hid the stop button (separate stop button with play/pause, previous and next buttons) and if user wants stop button he can make it visible in settings (Show stop button or something like that).

here is how I represent

[P, P/P, N]

(Stop button is hidden, currently app has this model)

[P, S, P/P, N]

(Stop button is visible)

P - previous, S - Stop, P/P - Play/pause, N- Next

​

Reason:

If we use 'hold pause button' to stop, there will be two settings (1. enable/disable stop, 2. Option to set (pause/play button) holding time. Though it is possible with only one setting). And difficult to make it understand to non English speakers (translation problems).

What you guys think?

---------- Post added at 06:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:10 AM ----------

[MENTION=6027500]adarshurs[/MENTION] -

I am wondering if you could including the subtitles support I.E. download the SRT from opensubtites.org automatically or manually choice SRT once choose then auto download and show closed captions.

I am deaf guy. :)
[Android Apps and Games] androidcues:
Thanks much!!! vlc to the hilt.
[Android Apps and Games] adarshurs:
opensubtites.org domain has expired :)

As I said in this thread earlier, It is possible to 'add subtitles files' feature (only .srt files), but VLC does not work properly. For example when you add a subtitle file from the app, it works, but some times VLC shows error message or crashes. In both the cases you will have to get up to close the error message window or to restart the VLC.

However as a deaf guy ( ;) ) you don't have any other options other than subtitles to watch videos alone. So I'll implement 'add subtitles files' feature in the beta version. If you have already subscribed BETA program you will get the feature in next version . If not, subscribe to BETA program.

Hi [MENTION=6027500]adarshurs[/MENTION] -

Whoops, My mistake for misspell the open subtitles website. Here correct URL. http://www.opensubtitles.org/

Sorry!!

I haven't any problem with SRT load on VLC - I mean I never get any error from the VLC output. BTW I am on Linux desktop running VLC with my Samsung Note 3.

I have a idea.... Maybe when you press a button [sub] leads to the directory locally storage asking you to select a SRT file or access subtitles websites if i want to access the open subtitles (opensubtitles.org) find the SRT then automatic download and load it. Maybe this is complication for you? Similar XBMC add-on subtitles code or script may be give you some ideas?

[Android Apps and Games] janzak:
So this is exactly what I was looking for. Works flawlessly. Thanks a lot
[Android Apps and Games] adarshurs:
When you add subtitle file, a error message shown on windows (As I said earlier, it won't happen always). I haven't added that feature considering majority of people are using windows on their PC (Even though many Windows Phone VLC Mobile Remote app users are asking for that feature). But I'll definitely add the subtitle feature in Beta version (select subtitle file from local drive( PC's hard disk)). It will be simple as playing file. Browse to the directory where .srt file is located and just tap the subtitle file, it will add as subtitle to the playing media (so no subtitle button or anything like that).

opensubtitles

And I dint notice you misspelled in opensubtitles.org (I am sorry, I should have). Integrating opensubtitles.org (based on my research, most probably it is possible) to the app takes time. For now I am sticking with my plan, after that I'll consider it based on how much time and effort it will take. (Actually it's a good suggestion, thank you)

UPDATE

I received my invitation but I can't download the beta yet. it says I'll get an automatic update to the beta. I assume it's a processing delay by google?

while I was checking to see if I had gotten it and missed the notification, I realized that under "info", it doesn't mention the app version. would that be in there or "about" later?
[Android Apps and Games] adarshurs:
Hi,

Now both general and beta version (Ver 1.0.6.0) are same, so if you have already installed general version of the app on your device, you don't have to do anything (after you become a beta tester) , you will automatically receive beta version when I update the beta app.

I am assuming you have already installed the app on your device and subscribed to beta version. So you will receive beta update soon.

If you have not installed the app, you can do so at anytime. (I don't think there is any processing delay from Google).

yeah, I can see that when I'm using the browser. Sorry for not being clear, but what I meant was in the app itself. for some apps, there's app info including app version, and for others it's under settings in "about". I know there are other ways to get the version of the app you've installed, but I think getting it through the app settings/info is easiest if it's already open.

This remote app looks awesome.

I've tried the other ones and they look horribly dated, complete with soft menu buttons.

Thanks for making this.

The only feature I'm missing is chapter skipping.

[Android Apps and Games] adarshurs:
Hey Terry,

Thank you.

Some people are asking for DVD controls, so I'll add it soon..

I'm also experiencing a bug where the rewind button is always stuck down, which makes it unusable right now,

I never come across this issue neither any one complained me. Could you close the app completely (close from recent app list) and try again. It may be UI related issue...
[Android Apps and Games] terryhau:
Thanks adarshurs.

I meant the chapters that you can embed in mkv files. Though they probably use the same controls.

I've figured out how to trigger the stuck button bug.

If you do an swipe-in from the left (to get the side menu) and the swipe passes over the rewind button, it will get stuck down until you completely restart the app.

It won't rewind if you're less than 5 seconds in, so to see the bug easier, skip to the end of the video.
