Download the vlc.zip file

Go to "" and copy the files of the vlc.zip into that directory => Replace two existing (hidden?) files (.hosts located in "http" folder; status.xml located in "http/requests" folder)

Now open the VLC Player and open "Tools >> Preferences

Select "Show settings *All" in the bottom left corner

Select "Interface >> Main interfaces"

Make sure in the Drop-Down menu for main interfaces "Default" is selected => Don't select "Http remote control interface" unless you don't want to have a graphical interface for VLC, just the web control

Select in the group "Extra interface modules" "Http remote control interface" => This enables the web interface automatically on VLC-startup as an extra interface

Save the settings and restart VLC

Go to http://localhost:8080/requests/status.xml (default port of VLC) to check if the web interface is working

Go to http://[ip-address]:8080/requests/status.xml (default port of VLC) to check if the web interface is working for another device => If it doesn't work the security settings in the ".host" file are bad - overwrite the file with the ".hosts" file in vlc.zip
