No. Assuming all your devices are using the same account. The purchases are tied to the account.

Used this for a while to remote control my laptop as well as Plex, openPHT and Media Player. Excellent! But now I have set up a little A/V network with my Roku, amp, and laptop I tend to use Teamviewer which I know isn't quite the same thing but works like a supercharged VNC, allows me to wake my laptop from full sleep mode and is free!

Hi take a look at the free KORE app for remotely controlling KODI. I use it for my sony smart TV as well as my laptop when I'm connected to friends' TVs using HDMI
It take a few steps to set up but works flawlessly. Entering text is so much easier using this than the remote control entry for my TV.
Apparently this Unified remote app does the same in the paid version - but I can't tell you how good that is - haven't used it

You have to forward the port on your router. Does work but latency is terrible.

Same here :smiley:. Got it last time it was posted (link below) but totally forgot about it - I've found uses for it now, so will definitely be using it.
As of the first release there are 51 remotes available, but we will continuously add more remotes based on user feedback.
TV: Hitachi, Hyundai, Insignia, JVC, LG, Mitsubishi, Panasonic, Philips, Samsung, Sanyo, Sharp, Sony, TCL, Toshiba, Vizio
Set-Top Boxes: Canal Digital, Comcast, Time Warner, Viasat, Western Digital

Your next device might have one, so well worth a punt for the low price (with free future updates).
You can also transfer the licence from one Google (only) account to another (if that was an issue in the future).
[Note to others: your phone does not need an IR blaster for this app to work, but having one extends functionality]

I have a old pc on windows xp will this work or it needs app downloading on pc like windows 8
BungalowBill
17 Jan 17#56
You don't. Little bit techy, but port forward an obscure port to your PC from your router, and then specify the port in the server and phone app. Works fine for me, no more latency than being on the same network.
I use it to control my PC TV tuner when I am on the train, so it will tune a channel and stream it to my phone.

Expensive. VNC is free for the home user

Should add - you will need a fixed IP at home, or use a dynamic DNS service, to reach your PC from a remote network.

Woohoo! I got a 10% discount because I'm a Google Music subscriber (I forgot that I've got 3 months Google Music free).
I don't even own an Android phone. Hopefully next time I'm using my laptop to stream a movie I can control it from a tablet. Or I could give my kids 10p each - 9 if they're on a music trial too - and get them to control the laptop. Voice operated remote!

Meshen
17 Jan 17#71
For 10p you obviously can't go wrong, but this really isn't much of an improvement over the free version. The individual 'remotes' you can choose for Netflix, Youtube etc are redundant given how easy it is to cast to a TV or PC using the relevant apps. The most useful feature is the mouse / keyboard controls which are present in the free version. Not trying to put down the deal itself - 10p is a steal whichever way you look at it, it's just weird to me that a paid version exists alongside the free version. If anything they should have just had one single version priced at 50p or something from the get-go. Sorry for the ramblings there - heat added regardless.
MynameisM
17 Jan 17#72
but that wouldn't make sense if they had one instead of free and paid it should be less than the paid one to cater for both parties.

It's has a lot of uses. I've used it for the following:-
- Controlling my Home Theatre PC, so we don't have to keep a keyboard on the sofa.
- Controlling my Server without the need of entering the room it's in / keep a monitor and keyboard etc hooked up to it, so it can be tucked away.
There's most probably lots of other uses for this app. At this price it's a steal. If you sit with a laptop on your lap, maybe this app is not for you, but for millions of others, this app is invaluable.
