Media Player Classic Remote

Tired of getting up to skip a track or adjust volume on your PC's classic media player?

Media Player Classic Remote transforms your Android device into a dedicated, wireless control surface for the legendary Media Player Classic (MPC-HC) running on your Windows computer. No more interrupting your movie night or gaming session—manage playback, browse libraries, and fine-tune audio from the palm of your hand. This app bridges the gap between your mobile device and desktop, turning your phone or tablet into an essential companion for any media setup.

Core Functionality & Control Suite

The app establishes a direct, local network connection to your MPC-HC instance, providing real-time command execution without cloud delays. You gain access to a comprehensive set of playback controls, navigation tools, and system integration features designed for uninterrupted media consumption.

• Full Playback Command Set – Play, pause, stop, skip forward/backward, and adjust volume with dedicated on-screen buttons. The interface mirrors the keyboard shortcuts you already know.
• Precision Seek & Timeline Scrubbing – Drag your finger across a visual timeline to jump to any point in the video or audio file. The app displays elapsed time and total duration for accurate navigation.
• Audio & Subtitle Track Switching – Select from available audio streams and subtitle tracks directly from your mobile device without opening the desktop player interface.
• Remote File Browser – Browse and load media files from your PC's local drives and network shares. The app displays folder structures and file names for quick content selection.
• Customizable Hotkey Mapping – Assign any MPC-HC keyboard shortcut (like Ctrl+O for open or F for fullscreen) to a single tap on your phone. Configure up to six custom buttons.

Key Advantages for Daily Use

The app operates over your local Wi-Fi network, requiring no internet connection or cloud services for core functionality. This ensures zero latency and complete privacy—no media metadata leaves your home network. The connection setup is straightforward: enter your PC's IP address and the port configured in MPC-HC (default 13579), or let the app auto-discover running instances on the same subnet. The interface is optimized for both portrait and landscape orientations, adapting button layouts to your holding preference.

• Zero-Latency Local Network Control – Commands execute in under 50ms over standard Wi-Fi. No cloud processing, no buffering, no delays.
• One-Time Configuration – Save your PC's IP and port settings. The app reconnects automatically when both devices are on the same network.
• Persistent Connection Management – Keep the control session alive even when your phone screen turns off. Resume control instantly upon waking the device.
• Minimal Battery & Resource Usage – The app runs as a lightweight background service. No constant polling or unnecessary network traffic.
