## What is MPV Player Remote?

MPV Player Remote turns your iPhone into a remote control for mpv on your Mac. Sit back on the couch and control playback without reaching for your laptop.

FEATURES
• Play and pause, skip back 10 seconds or forward 30
• Drag the progress bar to jump anywhere in the video
• Adjust the volume or mute
• Switch subtitle tracks, or turn subtitles off
• Nudge subtitle timing earlier or later when it's out of sync
• Choose between audio tracks, like a dub or a commentary
• Change playback speed from 0.5× to 2×
• Browse the playlist and chapters and jump straight to any of them
• Toggle full screen

EASY TO SET UP
1. Install the free MPV Player Remote companion on your Mac.
2. Open the app. Your Mac shows up automatically on your Wi-Fi network.
3. Enter the 4-digit code your Mac shows. From then on, it reconnects by itself.

The companion talks to mpv through mpv's built-in control socket (the input-ipc-server option), so it works with your existing mpv setup, scripts and settings.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Everything happens on your home network, directly between your iPhone and your Mac. There's no account, no cloud service and no data collection. Only phones you've paired with a code can control your player.

REQUIREMENTS
• A Mac running mpv and the free companion app
• iPhone and Mac on the same Wi-Fi network

MPV Player Remote is an independent app and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the mpv project.
