I had issues with script transfer from HandyFeeling.com. It takes long to load and frequently disconnects mid-way during playback.

ScriptPlayer and HandyControl had such a feature that allows you to host your script locally. Using the feature greatly improved my experience.

You can enable the feature in both software’s settings.

Enter your Local IP in the IP field. For Windows you can find it under Settings > Network Status > Properties.

Follow the following guide to open port 80 on your Firewall:

Ensure your Handy is connected to the same network as your device and the connection key is set correct. Personal Hotspot from your Laptop will also work.

Connect Handy.

NOTE: This method only host the script locally for caching. Playback commands however are still sent via Handy’s server. There’s no way to use the Handy completely independent of their server except BLE.

Hm. So let’s say on my computer I have the Scripts and the Videos I want to use.
To use detailed Scripts, it is recommended to use The Handy with wifi.
Would that method let me use detailed scripts without problem?
