WAS Good Alternative to VLC REMOTE

But this new version adds some new features for controlling VLC settings. Features which do NOT work for VLC pre-2.0, which I use exclusively (v1.1.11 for PC with Libtyplugin.dll for 1.1.13)

I can still control my VLC, but I may just delete this version until you update the app so it controls the subtitle/aspect ratio options for earlier VLC as well. Please remember VLC is more common than iTunes, and many people are still happily using versions even earlier than 1.x.x! Thank you. Rating goes back up when I can control the aspect ratio settings and cycle subtitle in pre-2.x VLC

==============

I think there was an update since I first installed this. I dont think this is the best VLC remote, but it is pretty good.

My favorite is VLC Remote version 5.76, which not only can control VLC 2.x (with difficulty), but it has other controls:

Aspect Ratio. Audio and Subtitle timing. Ability to add folders, RAR files and ISO images. Those things need to be added in. But not "album art!"

But even with those things missing, this app works good, never fails to find my VLC, and even uses other VLC remote helper apps to set up playback.

============

Since I already had the Hobbyist VLC REMOTE Setup Helper running on all of my pcs, I didnt need the helper app for this one- it IMMEDIATELY located four versions of VLC from 1.1.2 to 2.0.1 running. You can set up a different interface for each one.

Just a couple of things- we (still) need FOLDER SELECTION. Also the content you choose starts playing immediately- so you cant edit your playlist on the fly.

So we need to not only be able to choose an entire folder (it is of course a default option in VLC) but also to be able to cue items in the playlist.

But, I had no problem with this app allowing me to control both VLC version 1.1.9 and 2.0.1, which has been an issue with another remote app I use.
