This application is a fork of the application “Remote for VLC” by Peter Baldwin (play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.peterbaldwin.client.android.vlcremote).

The source code for this application can be found on GitHub (github.com/samicemalone/android-vlc-remote). See the repository for licensing information.

If you are using VLC 2.0.x version, you may need to edit your VLC “.hosts” file. (Windows default location: C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\lua\http\.hosts).

If you are using VLC 2.1 or VLC 2.2.0 nightlies, you will need to set a default password for the Web interface (Tools -> Preferences -> “All” checkbox -> Interface -> Main interfaces -> Lua)

This app should be compatible with AceStream since it is a fork of VLC. If using VLC and AceStream simultaneously, remember to change the port of the HTTP server.
