Remote Control
Use your phone as a motion controller to record funscript points by tilting your device while the video plays.
Overview
The Remote Control feature lets you use your phone as a motion controller. Tilt and wave your phone to generate funscript points on the desktop timeline in real-time while the video plays. Your phone's gyroscope data is translated into position values (0-100) that become points on the timeline.
Both devices need to be connected to the internet. When your phone and desktop are on the same network, a direct peer-to-peer connection is established automatically for minimal latency.
Opening the Remote
Click the Remote button in the ScriptCompiler toolbar to open the connection dialog. The dialog shows a QR code, a link to the remote app, and a manual code entry field.
Pairing Your Phone
There are two ways to pair your phone with the desktop:
Option A: Scan the QR Code
- Open your phone's camera and point it at the QR code in the dialog
- Tap the link that appears to open the remote app
- The phone auto-connects to the desktop using the code embedded in the QR
Option B: Enter the Code Manually
- Open remote.scriptcompiler.com on your phone
- Note the device code shown on your phone's screen
- Type that code into the input field on the desktop dialog
- Click Connect
Recording with Motion
Once paired, tap the play button on your phone to start. This does three things:
- Activates your phone's motion sensors (gyroscope and accelerometer)
- Starts video playback on the desktop
- Begins recording points from your phone's motion
Tilt your phone to control the position value. The system automatically picks whichever axis (pitch or roll) has the stronger signal, so you can hold the phone in whatever orientation feels natural.
Tap pause on your phone to stop recording and pause the video. You can resume at any time by tapping play again.
Controls
| Control | Description |
|---|---|
| Play / Pause | Starts or stops video playback and point recording. The first tap also activates motion sensors. |
| Sensitivity | Slider from 0.1x to 3.0x. Higher values make smaller movements produce larger position changes. Default is 1.0x. |
Connection Types
After pairing, the system automatically attempts a direct peer-to-peer (P2P) connection using WebRTC. The connection status is shown on both devices.
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| P2P Connected | Direct connection between phone and desktop. Lowest latency, best for recording. |
| Connected via relay | Data is routed through the server. Higher latency but still functional. |
| Reconnecting | Connection was lost and is being re-established. |
P2P works best when both devices are on the same local network. If P2P fails, the system falls back to server relay automatically. You can retry P2P from the desktop dialog at any time.
Troubleshooting
Phone Won't Connect
- Make sure the remote app is open and shows a device code
- Check that both devices have internet access
- Try refreshing the remote app and scanning the QR code again
No Points Appearing
- Make sure you tapped play on the phone (sensors must be active)
- Check that the sensor status shows "streaming"
- Try increasing the sensitivity slider
- Ensure the phone is not lying flat on a surface
High Latency or Delayed Response
- Check if the status shows "P2P Connected" or "Connected via relay"
- If using relay, try connecting both devices to the same Wi-Fi network and retry P2P
- Close other apps that may be using the network
Sensors Not Activating (iOS)
- Safari requires an explicit user gesture to enable motion sensors
- Make sure you tap the play button directly (not via a script or automation)
- If the permission dialog was dismissed, refresh the page and try again
