Olive Remote
The original controller is gone or will not connect
Check whether the server is healthy and reachable, understand the local-network requirement, and get the current app from the App Store or Google Play.

Your Olive,
back in reach.
If your O4HD or O6HD still boots and joins your home network, Olive Remote provides a modern, private path to local control. It has been tested with physical O4HD and O6HD hardware; behavior can vary by firmware, and only functions with current evidence are exposed. If it does not boot, start with preservation-first triage before changing firmware or storage.

Each route separates safe checks from actions that could put the library at risk.

Protect the original media first, distinguish a working-server migration from failed-disk recovery, and know when to stop and call a specialist.

COMPATIBILITY
Two tested models. No invented promises.
Olive Remote has been tested with physical O4HD and O6HD hardware. That does not establish every firmware or every function. The other HD servers and earlier Olive families are capture-needed until their exact behavior is observed. Olive ONE uses a different platform and remains separate and unverified.

What the remote can—and cannot—do.
The useful boundary is whether a compatible server is running and reachable on the same trusted network.
Olive Remote can help
- Find or manually connect to a reachable O4HD or O6HD.
- Use the local control paths tested with physical O4HD and O6HD hardware.
- Use only commands supported by current model and firmware evidence.
- Keep server addresses and music metadata on your device.
Olive Remote cannot repair it
- It cannot make a dead or non-booting server start.
- It cannot repair a display, power supply, board, or disk.
- It does not clone, decrypt, recover, or export a library.
- It does not currently control the separate Olive ONE platform.
- Volume, queue reading or reordering, playlist editing, metadata editing, destructive library operations, and device settings are not verified.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your library is not a lead list.
The diagnostic asks for model and device state, country, a reply address, your description, and consent. A tagged help path may also include one predefined source label. Do not enter an IP address, serial number, music-library names, or disk contents. A separate optional checkbox controls whether you receive one release email.
Before you begin
Can Olive Remote revive an O4HD or O6HD that does not boot?
No. It can communicate only with a working, network-accessible server. Use the startup guide to avoid destructive first steps and decide whether hardware help is needed.
Which Olive models have been tested?
Olive Remote has been tested with O4HD and O6HD hardware. Other models are capture-needed. Olive ONE is separate and unverified, so no ONE compatibility is implied.
Can the app recover or export my music?
No. Olive Remote does not recover disks or export libraries. The preservation guide explains safer next steps for working and failed devices.
Where can I download the app?
Olive Remote is available on the Apple App Store and Google Play. Install it on a device that can join the same trusted network as the Olive.

The three-step diagnostic takes about two minutes. We will use it to point you toward the relevant guide or determine whether your model can help close a compatibility gap.
