VLC Remote app can find the player but keeps asking for a password problem

--------------------------------------------------------
goto your computer...run VLC

Open the VLC settings pages:  VLC Menu/Tools/Preferences

Click the 'ALL' button at the bottom left of the screen
   (by default VLC hides most settings)

find 'Interface'
find 'Main interfaces'
find 'Lua'

Enter a cool password in the 'Lua HTTP' password box

At the bottom of the screen press 'save'
------------------------------------------------------

restart both the app and the player

Now use that password you just created.

note: this one of the steps the setup helper does for you automatically!

Actually I did run the setup helper.  However entering a new password fixed the problem.
