VLC Remote is now translated into 17 languages.
All translations are by volunteers, so if something isn’t translated – or if you think you can do a better job then please head over to AppTranslate.com and provide your own translations.
You can translate a single string – or add an entirely new language.
The remote now has a home-screen widget.
This shows the current track and gives play/pause and previous/next track controls.

Apple changed the API in the lastest version of iTunes. That broke the ability of iTunes Remote to browse by artist, album or genre.
1.1 fixes that – and also adds new features.
You can now use the Genius button for any playing track to start a new Genius playlist.
You can also browse playlist folders (the Genius automatic mixes are the most obvious of these).
The latest update is now available through the App Catalog.
Hi,
iBrowse is my new browser. It just got even better.
You can now open a page, then switch to opening links in background tabs. This means you can do a search on Google and open multiple results at once, or go to the front page of a news site and open all the stories you want to read.
-Also included are 100% fullscreen browsing
-Turbo mode (just like fast web)
-Block images (also saves bandwidth)
-Private browsing
-and much more!
Have a look at the linked video to see it in action…
Using the keyboard gives a really great way to control volume and position with really fine-grained control.
This is a great way in which VLC remote is now better on the Pre and Android than it is on the iPhone.
I wanted a way to let you jump in big or small increments, so I assigned a whole row to volume changes, and a whole row to position changes.
This picture shows how it works…

To help you remember; The row which has ‘V’ in it is for volume. The row with ‘P’ in it is for position.
Enjoy!
After I released VLC remote, a bunch of users asked me to add an ability for them to turn off the computer when they had finished watching shows.
So, I built Off Remote. It lets you turn off your Windows or Mac computer from your iPhone.
(Parents have also pointed out to me that it lets them check whether their kids have turned off their computers!)
Whether you use it to turn off your computers at night, or after watching shows – it makes life a little easier and saves a bit of energy!
I recently released a new version of the Off Helper.
It runs as a service rather than an application, so this means it still works when the computer is logged out, or locked.
Because it starts up differently, it will hopefully fix issues where the helper doesn’t automatically startup.
You can get the new version at http://hobbyistsoftware.com/OffSetup
It is a beta, so although we have tested it, there may be problems with some setups. Please let me know ( rob@hobbyistsoftware.com ) if there are problems so that I can fix them, and equally let me know if it works well so that I can move it out of beta!
Thanks.
Shimon (he did the coding on this app) just released version 1.20 of aTAKEphONE, with support for OS 2.1
aTAKEphONE will change the way you use your phone to make calls – no more having to open the G1 keyboard to search for contacts, or fiddling with the tiny on-screen keyboard buttons, fast & easy access to all your favorites, call-log and even a dial-by-photo feature !
Update: VLC Remote is now a universal app. This means it works brilliantly on both iPad and iPhone.
Hi Folks,
VLC Remote now has an iPad version too. It has much the same functionality as the iPhone version – but makes use of the bigger screen and the different interaction approaches.
It took quite a bit of work to build, so I’m selling it as a separate application. -Though of course you can still use your iPhone version on the iPad if you prefer.
I hope you like it!
If you want to turn computers off without popping up the timer on your computer
(“About to sleep, this will happen in x seconds”)
Just set the “delay” setting in the helper on your computer to 0 seconds. You’ll get no message, and the sleep/off/etc command will be sent immediately.
