- VLC Remote is a paid version which additionally allows selecting of files and playlist management.
Options that communicate via an intermediate connection
- Intelliremote is a free iPhone client for Intelliremote's PC Server (produced by Melloware). It requires the PC client to be running on the same Windows PC as VLC.
- EventGhost is a paid iPhone client for the Event Ghost open source home automation server for Windows. (The iPhone client is also produced by Melloware). It requires the PC client to be running on the same Windows PC as VLC.
