Phone as remote control is great - OP might want to think about QR-code as a quick method of inputting the URL. I believe this is how YouTube remote control works.
A further improvement might be to use OPs internet-connected server to proxy the commands so the phone doesn't have to be connected to the same WiFi network, though I accept this is a very limited use-case and incurs some cost.
EDIT: Also - good work, OP!
There are obvious legal issues, with downloading copyrighted material you do not have a license for. We do not endorse such use cases and bare no responsability for the use people make of it."
ah ah ah ... well you are not doing anythin illegal i guess but :
- studios could take down your repo since you used copyrighted material ( movie posters ).You should change them ( us CC movies like blender short movies ).
- you are using Apple brand and associating it with an illegal activity ,they could sue you for that.
I love the idea of using the phone as a remote control , that's really smart ! i'm going to steal that idea for sure !
But could it work online ? i mean if the website is not on a localhost ?
