The VideoLAN Forums

Is it possable to control vlc from a remote system? I have a computer set up as a server and connected to my tv. I can go to that system and play the videos but I'd like to be able to control vlc from a remote system like my laptop as I'm sitting on the couch.

Web Interface?

Main menu
View/Add Interface

It does require some setting up and has limitations.

(I prefer to use a remote desktop and be done with it!)
