What is VLC Direct?

Many users are probably familiar with such a popular cross-platform media player as VLC . In order to use this player it became more convenient and an application for the Android platform was created – VLC Direct , which functions as a remote control with all the ensuing possibilities. So, directly from your smartphone, you can start playing video or audio on your computer, rewind or pause, adjust the brightness and volume.

Another very useful option of the VLC Direct program is the ability to display or play on a PC any file that is in the memory of a mobile device. Moreover, the reverse option is also freely implemented – run the file from the PC on the screen of a smartphone or tablet. In other words, it uses synchronization between two different devices, which can sometimes be useful, because the step of transferring files from one medium to another is skipped. For example, you can quickly view a video recorded on the built-in camera of an Android device on a more comfortable and larger screen of a personal computer.

The VLC Direct program also works freely with a subtitle system that can be configured at your own discretion directly from the utility interface, for example, by increasing the size of letters and the number of simultaneously broadcast lines. The application requires an active Internet connection, since all actions are carried out in real time, and multimedia files are played in streaming mode. The tool is distributed according to a free model and the only inconvenience for the user may be the need to periodically watch ads during its operation.
