Netflix iOS and Android apps have a remote control easter egg for PS3 owners

[ ](http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/25/netflix-ios-android-ps3-second-screen-remote-control/)

Now that the revamped [Netflix](http://www.engadget.com/tag/netflix,ios) interface has hit phones and tablets for both [Apple](http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/18/netflix-for-iphone-update/) and [Android](http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/24/netflix-ui-android-phones/) powered hardware, the service has quietly enabled something else: second screen remote control. Currently the feature is only known to work on the PlayStation 3 with a mobile device on the same local network, once the two apps are running you can browse as normal on your phone or tablet and when you go to play a movie or TV show it asks you to choose where it will play. While the video is playing you can stop, pause or seek through it to a certain point, change the audio or subtitles, choose a different episode or even browse for something entirely different without stopping the action. We've got a few screens of the mobile apps at work in the gallery, check after the break for a quick video of it working.
