[ubuntu-uk] Setting up the web interface for VLC in ubuntu/Linuxmint?

[javadayaz]

bascially now using the wifi on my phone...i am able to control vlc. I am
now using my phone as a remote control for VLC. Stopping, pausing, playing,
choosing to play a song or a film from my pc....I can even adjust the
volume.

This is brilliant!!
