I am a lover of watching movies or sports events before I sleep at night in my bed. My only possibility is to use a PC Monitor as a TV. So, I need to use a Media Player tool for Windows for making this and connect it with IPTV that I use. The big problem over years was: How to control IPTV without need to stand up from bed?
The best solution I have, is to Install the VLC Media Player! Some time I have used Kodi for IPTV but its a bit slower. I highly recommend all of you to use VLC Media Player. You can find to download VLC Media Player for the platform you use here.
After you have installed VLC Media Player you need a remote controller for this tool. It’s easy and simple. The only thing you need to do is to search directly on your IPhone App Store to find the right tool. We will list below some recommended apps you can use for VLC Remote Control from an IPhone
