Control the Metz television via smartphone - how it works
Your Metz TV can now also be controlled with your smartphone via the iOS and Android app. With a software update, all WLAN-capable TV sets of the "Metz" brand can be operated using the "Metz mecaControl" remote control tool. All available film, image and music files can also be accessed within the home network. "Metz mecaControl" takes over all functions of the Metz RM17 remote control.
Operate the Metz television via iOS or Android app
First install the app "mecaControl for iPhone" or "Metz mecaControl for Android phone".
- Open the app and press the button on the top right of the navigation bar that shows a screen (see screenshot).
- Since the remote control tool only works when your TV is already running, you must make sure that the device is switched on so that it is recognized in the home network.
- Then you can click on the "Update" bar in the app (see screenshot).
- Now all Metz TV devices that are in your home WiFi network are displayed. Select the device you want to control remotely with the app.
Access to music and pictures via Metz mecaControl
If the app can access your television, all image, video and audio files from the storage media integrated into the home network can be called up and streamed via the television.
- To do this, select the third button from the right in the navigation bar to access the menu (see screenshot).
- Via "Local Network" you can access all other devices connected to the home network such as laptops or notebooks and can access the files stored on them.
- To view the files of your Android phone or iPhone on the television, select either "My Photos", "My Music" or "My Videos".
- You can also access services such as iMediaShare or YouTube with a simple click via your smartphone and the Metz television.
