Very good app, I
If this is too difficult to set up, you may want to try something easier. Like sleeping. I can't think of anything easier to set up.
I ran the remote setup app on my PC and all my macs. The remote app then found them all immediately. No real setup required. Thanks for making a great app that is easy to use and a no-brainer set up. Glad I didn't need an engineering degree.
My only point of contention is when I tried to set it up at work. I work in the IT department of the county library and we use Macs. When it scanned for computers via Bonjour, it found all 350 Macs on the network. Unfortunately it tried to show them all in the list and the program choked badly. Instead of displaying any computer it finds in Bonjour, maybe have it so it only displays those that it detects has VLC up and running on. I'd definitely go 5.5 stars if that was changed. I know there are very few that would be in my situation, but what if one of our patrons was going to give a presentation or show a video using VLC and VLC Remote in the library?

Great app works well
Overall a great app, little fiddly to get set up and working properly but once it is, it works a treat and there are plenty of help files that are easy to follow. Since my computer is connected to my tv i now can open new titles pause and play from my couch instead of having to get up and use the mouse. Its a great idea.

Works Great!
Setup took 2 minutes. I'm not sure why others have had trouble getting it to work. I opened VLC player on my pc, ran the installer program, and then opened this app on my iPhone. It found the computer instantly.
Awesome!
Awesome!
Don't bother
Most of the buttons you press prompt you to buy the full version.
They send you by email the link to download the computer portion, the server that this app talks to.
With this free version you cannot browse the playlist. Just use skip button to goto next movie. It's pretty basic. You can fast forward.
I lost my apple remote so tried using this as a frontrow subsitute.

Brilliant and flawed
Does brilliant job but kills pop3 email through outlook
Wonderful tool
Not often I write reviews but it works a treat!! :)) works faster than normal desktop control. Might see about full version...
Awesome!
I only used it for a minute and I will get the paid version right now. I'm glad there was a free version to test with first. One weird thing is that I couldn't drag and drop videos on the playlist on my laptop. But if I opened a new instance of vlc, it would be able to in there, just not in the one opened from the connection utility.

Upgrade to the full version
I had the lite version for a minute and it worked well enough for me, but upgraded to the full shortly after to support the dev and get more features and haven't regretted it for a second, if you think the lite version is good, you should see the features in the full version. Very well worth the $3 he's asking.
