Frontends don't encode. Backends encode, hence have encoder cards...

Lot of changes or not, you will _have_ to change that. Localhost.localdomain
is the local loopback address, you cannot network anything while it is
referenced by that name. You WILL need to change it.

It is a BACKend when it sports an encoder. But another thing; are you telling
us that you have a working remote frontend ? That can connect to the backend
and display shows from it ?? Cause that would seem to be impossible, seen as
that would also need a working network connection...
Good luck
