Using the VLC web interface to transcode & stream local videos

Hello all,

As I'm often on the road, I'd like to be able to stream my video library from my self-hosted Linux server (I have FTTH at home).

I don't want to rely on Plex, so I was looking for a VLC based solution (waiting for transcoding to come to Kodi).

So in VLC there is this web interface, which is meant to pilot a local instance of VLC.

There's also a flash-based video player, flowplayer, embedded in there.

Fiddling with the I can get a stream started, transcoded, working (looking at my server) but I can't get it to be displayed in the flow player.

Any one has experience with this?

Thanks!
