Download BETA version of VLC Mobile Remote App​

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello,

I know that there are many remote apps available for Android to control VLC player on your PC. But all of their UX look/feel expired and most of them are half baked. So I did build one called VLC Mobile Remote with a good interface, which works better than any of the VLC remote apps. Give it a try (it's free) and let me know your suggestions/feedback.

Screenshots

Download VLC Mobile Remote from Google Play

Check out the demo video

.

NEW !!! Check out our site: vlcmobileremote.com

Be a BETA tester: Those who are willing to help us to improve the app by reporting bugs and suggestions, also if you don't mind to use buggy app :), click here to download BETA version of VLC Mobile Remote App

Thank you​

Select audio device

Hi !

This is a great app ! The best VLC remote I've tried.

One feature that I'm looking for : the possibility to select the audio device !

Hi,

Yes, you can switch between two or more computers easily.

Feature request: remember last opened folder. Very handy if watching series. Because right now every episode I have to navigate back to the series folder. In my case it's a pretty big hassle. Y:/AVIs/Complete Series/<series name>/S<season number>/episodes here.

Get the point? I tried 'save folder' but didn't work

[Android Apps and Games] till22:
Very nice app! I like the interface and I'm amazed at how fast it is. I'd also "like" to point something out: The folder where all our video files are has a hashtag (#) in front of it so that is the first folder. Unfortunately, the app doesn't open it. If I remove the #, I can open the folder and play everything. Is this something you can/want to change?

EDIT: Changed the sign in front of the folder to a plus sign (+), it works now. Thank you for this awesome app!
[Android Apps and Games] laufersteppenwolf:
I have to admit, the UI is really really nice. Nice work :)

The only "issue" I have on my tab is that the buttons are not that sharp (as you can see in the screenshot). Other than that, no issues so far ;)

If you need some more info on my setup (screen res, dpi,...), just let me know ;)
[Android Apps and Games] adarshurs:
I got it.

Hi,

I don't know how you are trying to access the saved folders I had tested it, it was working. Anyway to access them just tap the button which has folder ? icon on it (in browse screen's right bottom). It will open a dialog with all the saved folder.

I think I should highlight it or you have any suggestions?

If it's not working please let me know.

Thank you for your feedback :)

Hi,

I never used a folder name like that :). So I never come across in to it. Anyway I'll look in to it.

[Android Apps and Games] Ch3vr0n:
Hmm, it's getting more and more weird. The buy option did appear when connected but no 'test order'. The beta program test link is also no longer valid. But that still doesn't explain why the pause on call is unlocked (can be toggled on/off) without purchasing. Every other app has premium features simply unelectable I'd not purchased. Since for me after unsubscribing I can't resub because of invalid link, I will not be purchasing. I hope there's another way to get them unlocked.

Verstuurd vanaf mijn Nexus 7 met Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] sergio_sos:
Exactly, all features are visible. But if you try to use them you can't. Try to make someone call you and you'll see.

Now, Google said I will have my money back. So I think the option of "not charging" from the Google Play Store is not working.

It seems that I still have my premium features, but all this trouble really should be avoidable. Sharing here the apk for the testers is something many devs do.

But here the only concern is the money it seems.
[Android Apps and Games] Ch3vr0n:
I wouldn't even be able to buy it even if I wanted too. No CC or cash in PayPal. So it would seem at this moment no premium features for me.

[MENTION=6027500]adarshurs[/MENTION]h: I hope for a different solution for us. I also would recommend to 'lock' out premium features live other developers do by greying them out and making them unselectable. Because right now, the app gives the false impression users have premium features when they don't.

[Android Apps and Games] adarshurs:
Before posting about the test purchase here . I checked with 5 or 6 accounts, non of them have charged. you will get the bill. but you will not be charged. please check out your balance on your account.

I would love to share apk, problem is not only money, I am trying to automate the process. so in the future you will receive all the updates automatically. you don't have to come here to get the latest version (after 6 months, if I add new feature, do you come here get it?well, you may come, not every other beta testers).

And I contacted many developers regarding sharing apk here, all their suggestion was to share only free version apk but not premium features unlocked apk.
[Android Apps and Games] Ch3vr0n:
What about my posts?

My status as beta tester is currently as follows in short:

- Unsubbed from tester community

- community link no longer works

- no test purchase available on 'buy' button

- no purchase possible even if I wanted too, no cc/funds

- premium features 'unlocked' but not working as said by other user too

- 'stuck' with free version only as tester

You did say in a previous post to contact you so here I am doing it. What can you do for me so I have premium features as I should have.

Hi,

If 'This is test order, you will not be charged' message not showing, please send me your e-mail id. If you do not have CC or paypal use debit card.

For new users, I do not want to show buy option (though it is linked to play store, developer should make them where and when should they (buy button) appear), that's why it is hidden, once they started to use app (after connecting to VLC at least once), I show buy button to them. And that is the reason they are selectable (not greyed ) on settings page.

As you guys know, VLC Mobile Remote available on windows phone too. There I have 3 version of VLC Mobile Remote (Free,Pro, BETA). but I write code only for one, based on Free or Pro or BETA features acts accordingly on the app. So I want to do like that here too. If I release different app for BETA testers, I have to write code twice, have to fix bugs twice and so on. If you are a developer you will understand the pain of it. That's why Google provide developers to offer BETA app from the public version app link. That's what Google recommends. That's what I am trying to do. and Windows phone's VLC Mobile Remote BETA app has full features for free, Don't think that I do not want to offer full features to beta testers.

To make any purchase (even for test purchase), you need at lease debit or credit card, (even though google do not charge, you need any of CC or DC). You do not have to live in USA to use debit card. I am from India, I have been using debit card on play store without problem.

I have added your id. (there are lot of ids, I don't did I added yours or not before, anyway I added it again). You can make the purchase in couple of hours (Play store takes some time to get updated)
[Android Apps and Games] Ch3vr0n:
Borrowed a cc, payment got denied (probably maxed out). Paypal denies due to no funds in it. DC not possible here. Perhaps add an option like other apps have to 'restore purchases' maybe that will work if it won't work in a few hours.

Verstuurd vanaf mijn Nexus 7 met Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] adarshurs:
Borrowed CC or paypal should work on our app (I am not sure about paypal), because it won't check weather you have money or not, all it (play store) ask you is add payment method. that's it.
[Android Apps and Games] Ch3vr0n:
Play store does check if the card isn't blocked for purchase, which in this case is the case. Owner checked and card is maxed out, so the bank temp blocks it for purchases until some balance has been paid back. There's more to a c than you think ;)

Hey folks,

VLC Mobile Remote update to Ver 1.4.1.0 with couple of new features and lot of bug fixes.

Here is the change log

Ver 1.4.1.0

** Set a folder as home location

** Improved 'Auto Connection' performance

** And as usual, lot of bug fixes.

Do check out the latest version and if you have any suggestions, feel free to share with me ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Ch3vr0n:
Latest build seems buggy more than before.

After loading a file in VLC and connecting all is peachy. I then proceeded clicking the drive selection button (2nd from the left), i'm greeted by "It's empty here! >connection might have lost ...."., Refresh works but defaults to Documents folder. If i use the arrow button to go to the drive root of C:\ Then try 1 more to enter drive selection i also am greeted by the "It's empty here..."

So i can't set a different drive folder as "Home Location" simply because the drive selection refuses to work.

It also seems to have lost my premium status from the test purchase? Under the new beta user settings section, it states "you are testing the app as a free user" yet on my nexus 7 running lollipop the lock screen widget and notification tray widget still work.
[Android Apps and Games] adarshurs:
Before Ver 1.4.1.0 what was the result for drives button click? Because I know this issue, but only 2 people have reported this issue. still do not know what causing the issue, it never occurred to me. I am investigating it. Will fix it soon.

it states "you are testing the app as a free user" yet on my nexus 7

No, you haven't lost premium features. I am using that setting for internal testing purpose, But there is no effect on premium or free users/features. I forgot to hide it in yesterday's update. Sorry, I'll fix that too. :p

And thank you so much :)
[Android Apps and Games] Ch3vr0n:
If I remember correctly, it properly listed all my available dives, both internal as external ones. I can't say this issue is specifyic to 1410 though. If you mail my the previous apk, i can install and see if it works correct in 1400. 1410 did list them to for about 5 seconds, then when I wanted to go into an external drive where my TV series are stored, it 'lost connection' and I was greeted by that 'it's empty here' message, from that point it any attempt to make it work again failed. Pressing home button, then drive button. Home, directory up, then drive summary button,... Nothing works, reinstall didn't help either.

So at the moment I can only access any folder on the C drive, however all my video files are stored on external drives or alternate internal ones which I can't access.

I hope you'll be able to find what's causing it soon because it's a nasty and pretty serious bug. I wish you all the luck on the bug hunt.

Regarding that setting, understood. Internal use only :)

Avast issue may be because of side loading the apk. Have you side loaded any other app? what's their's result?

[Android Apps and Games] Ch3vr0n:
I sideload install apk's located on internal storage all the time, in all cases it never triggered an alert. This is the first time since i started using Avast mobile over 1.5yrs ago. Atleast with this alert i know it works lol. Don't think the sideloading is the issue but rather avast itself or a lib or something as reports in the links i sent you indicate :) I'm not gonna stress over it, told it to "piss off, and ignore" ^^
[Android Apps and Games] adarshurs:
Another apk is in your inbox check it out.

And there is one new feature in this apk. Auto connect( in Computers page) detects previously connected computer, so if app is trying to connect to the same computer which is already in the list, it won't create a new entry in the computers list. Instead it saves the favourite folders and other data. If possible test it too.

I need your opinion (help) on new logo for the app.

Here it is, created by a fan (Aswin Sridhar)

What do you guys think? is it cool? any suggestions?

Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] Ch3vr0n:
My honest opinion? I don't like it, it's TOO orange. Hard to see the VLC reference and the mobile device if that's what that top part is supposed to be.

I'd make the VLC icon more clear, use a full image of a mobile like device not half one and place some wireless reference between the 2. Like waves of some sort.

I life the current one better.

Verstuurd vanaf mijn Nexus 7 met Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] sergio_sos:
I'm afraid my opinion is the same as Ch3vr0n, it's too much orange and it's hard to understand what is inside the logo.

The one you have right now is nice, I think it's already material design and all.

If you want to tweak it a little it could work, but if you make such a huge change it may happen that people don't understand it and that could mean one less download.
[Android Apps and Games] adarshurs:
Thank you.

Yes it is a mobile device symbol :)

Only thing that I dont like was Oragne colour, I want blue and as you said clear VLC logo on it. Except that this logo has clever representation of VLC, MOBILE, and REMOTE, that's what I liked most. But you know, many people may not get what it is :(
[Android Apps and Games] adarshurs:
& [MENTION=1754043]Ch3vr0n[/MENTION]

I showed it to some of my friends, as you guys, most of them hated the Orange colour :).

Thanks, tomorrow there is a new update for public after that (may be Tuesday) one BETA update with a new and exciting feature. Can you guys guess what that new feature?:silly:
[Android Apps and Games] sergio_sos:
The problem is that the device is not so visible and so it's hard to tell what it is at first sight. Maybe the designer could play a little with the logo to make the device easier to see. And get rid of all that orange, it's just painful to watch.
[Android Apps and Games] adarshurs:
[MENTION=4373046]sergio_sos[/MENTION]

Yep, I asked him to get rid of Orange and replace with Blue, but he said, it's not looking good :confused: I already asked him to send some other variants of the logo, he is yet to replay me. Will post all those images, if he replied.
[Android Apps and Games] supergaijin:
I was able to see the phone at the top, and I like using the stripes on the cone as a reference to imply usage as a remote, but again, it's too much orange. would having the cone superimposed over a TV/monitor be better?
[Android Apps and Games] adarshurs:
I think, implying Monitor/TV instead of cone may misguide the users, because it's a remote for VLC. Without VLC cone people may think it's remote a for computer or TV. That's not what our app does right? Anyway it's a very well designed.
[Android Apps and Games] supergaijin:
Sorry, I'm not much of a creative artist. I can't think of a good alternative. :confused:

Since we think that the orange in the newly made logo is too extreme, I made my own version of Aswin Sridhar's logo with the colors inverted, rounded corners and the distinction improved. I don't really care if you use it - but if you like it, please do feel free to use it. ;)

Here's the version without the rounded corners:

[Android Apps and Games] sergio_sos:
It's a little better but it's still too much of one colour. I think what this logo needs is a new design with the device or a pc more visible and easy to understand.

And a mix of colours, not all of one colour that is hard to watch.
[Android Apps and Games] Ch3vr0n:
Now that's too blue and it no longer links to VLC. VLC icon isn't blue but orange. I'll see if I can do a mockup up fireworks. What did you use to do that?

[Android Apps and Games] :
Sorry, sir. As I said, I don't really care if it is used - just thought I'd throw in another version for consideration.

I use Paint.NET for all my graphics editing (I also make sigs & avatars), and I used it for this icon, as well.
[Android Apps and Games] adarshurs:
Hi, It's better than earlier, however I am planning to stick with whatever the logo I have now. One of the reasons is, it's familiar to many people as VLC Mobile Remote logo (On both windows phone and android), if I change it now, it may effect to VLC Mobile Remote brand and another reason is current logo is not a bad :). But if I found suitable logo like representing VLC Mobile Remote in a clever way that all the people can understand by a glance, I am not afraid to go ahead.

I appreciate your work, thank you so much. You can create the logo as you want and do not hesitate to ask us for suggestions and feedback :)

New update for BETA tester (Ver 1.4.3.1-BETA)

Change log of Ver 1.4.3.1-BETA

New:

** No need to open the app for connection, Just start VLC on your PC, then unlock your android device, VLC Mobile Remote notification shows up itself (I guess Lollipop users will love this feature) :)

Note:

You should do the connection as usual at least once, before this feature start working.

It does not work if you are using custom port on VLC (i.e other than 8080),

It is a new and unique feature to our app, no one has done it before but it's like experimental, if everything goes well I'll bring it to the public release. So I want you guys suggestion/feedback, please upgrade to latest version and use it on as many devices as possible. Let me know what you think about it.

Can't wait to have your feedback :fingers-crossed:
