Get freedom from your phone’s obvious limitations. Use Video & TV SideView : Remote, made by Sony Corporation, a Video Players & Editors app on your PC or Mac with BlueStacks, and level up your experience.
Video & TV SideView feels like a straightforward remote that just happens to live on a screen. It turns a phone or tablet into a TV controller, and if someone runs it on a computer with BlueStacks, it works the same, just with a bigger touch area and a mouse. The layout is simple, with the basics right where they should be, so changing channels, volume, or inputs does not turn into a hunt through menus. It has a little extra on the media side too. The My Library tab pulls in videos stored on the device and lets them play right there, so it doubles as a quick local video player when the TV is busy or when a quick watch makes more sense.
Setup is not fussy, but there is one catch. The phone, tablet, or PC running the app has to be on the same Wi Fi as the TV or home device. Once that is true it looks for compatible gear and gets going fast. It seems built with Sony hardware in mind, so features can vary if the TV or player is not supported, and some regions lose certain functions. On BlueStacks, tapping remote buttons with a cursor feels responsive enough, and it is nice having the full remote on a laptop screen when the real remote wandered off. It is not trying to be fancy, just a reliable companion that keeps TV control handy and adds a simple library view for local videos.
BlueStacks brings your apps to life on a bigger screen—seamless and straightforward.
