From time to time I get mails from people who are struggle with configuring MPC-HC(Remote) for remote usage. I hope this tutorial will clearify it.

1. First you need to configure your MPC-HC on your PC/Laptop/… Therefor you need to start MPC-HC and go to ‚View –> Options‘:
   
2. In the options menu you need to navigate to ‚Player –> Web interface‘. There you need to activate the ‚Listen on port‘ option and save it.

   

3. Last but not least you need to configure the MPC-HC Remote App. Start it and navigate to the settings page:
   

Of course you need to make sure, that your phone can reach your PC/Laptop/…

Here are some tips if this won’t work:

• Did you try an IP instead of the hostname?
  • How to find IP address of your computer
• Did you check if you could ping your cell from your laptop?
  • Get IP von Windows Phone 7/7.5/8
  • How to PIng an IP address within your windows 7 or Windows XP Network
• Can you reach MPC-HC with an browser on you laptop?
  • e.g. FireFox –> http://localhost:13579/ with default MPC-HC settings
