VLC Remote Lite Customer Insights

1. For some reason this, once well loved and worked without any hassle nor confusion app, malfunctioned and stopped working all together as VLC remote for the program on the compute (even if yiu are on the same exact network and have a comparable android device).

2. Not just this ~ lite ~ version of the app doesn't worm, all the other ones stopped working all together as well!! Has this really became the very last of the good times with,once dependable and the BEST media player to use??This app worked great, til it didn't work at all.

3. I really do wish I could give this app 5 stars but right now it is flat out broken and totally unusable.Just what I needed!!! I tried four different apps and was struggling just with getting them set up but this one was super simple and easy and I'm impressed with how well it works.

4. I just tried this on an old android phone and sure enough, no pause option or play from folders.

5. I've tried everything I can think to connect it to my computer including running all updates and even reinstalling both VLC and the remote.

6. I had it installed before restorong my pc and after that for some reason, even with vlc remote helper I couldn't get it to pair... but about 5 months ago something updated, either windows or vlc remote, and they've been happy ever since.

7. Removed the VLC GUI and I had to exec a command line command to get it back.Pointless. You can't pause video and cannot play from folders.

8. I have the paid version on my phone and was helping a client over the phone, they said the app doesn't work.

9. Edit: VLC won't play subs when casting to tv so it's not the app's fault.App works great now.

10. And it had a feature that lets you fix whenever the audio is out of sync!!!!!!!!!Tried many times, never connected.

11. I've tried pairing on multiple devices.
