VLC nox web interface on a headless server

[adriankoooo]

Hi,

I have working setup on my Mac to transcode settopbox channels into Blackbox app (it's a streaming app for Enigma settopboxes).

Here is the guide from manual for Mac:

• Download and install the latest version of VLC
  Start VLC
  Select on the top menu VLC > Preferences
  Press the Show All button
  Select on the left menu Interface > Main Interfaces
  Check the Web checkbox
  Select on the left menu Interface > Main Interfaces > Lua
  Enter a secure password in Lua HTTP > Password
  Press Save and close VLC completely (CMD+Q)
  Start VLC again. Now the web interface should be accessible for Blackbox
  Always make sure that VLC is started and your computer is available when transcoding is enabled on Blackbox.

Is there any way to make this work on a headless Ubuntu server with VLC nox version?

You can edit ~/.config/vlc/vlcrc by hand.
