Nice. Are you using 0.3.3? Have you noticed any bad bugs with it? I made lots of changes to the player, hope it works ok.

This should be quite easy. All you need to do is create a playlist like this:

Code:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='ISO-8859-1'?><playlist><item title='Channel name' url='pvr:/dev/video0:norm=secam:size=720x576:frequency=576250:
bitrate=3000000:maxbitrate=4000000'/>
Then add the playlist to Knots like a normal directory. I bet I need to make some changes to Knots though, but try it first and report back.

No, sorry. I bet I could make it somewhat run on Linux/FreeBSD with Ruby-GTK though.

If you're running the OpenVPN server on dd-wrt, could you please PM me?
thanks!

This reminded me of the very first "Knots" I made which was web-based. So I added an html frontend to Knots. You can now watch everything with your browser if you have Flash installed. If you choose to transcode to some other format, you can open the stream with an external player and seek in the stream with your browser. I'll try to make it a little better (looking at least) and release it this week.

Re: Announce: Knots - a video streaming app for non-windows users
 
I am trying to install Knots server on Buffalo Linkstation Pro NAS, that has I guess Debian on it ( I am a complete noob here). I managed it up to the very end command ./knots start and stuck here. First I've got an error "cannot create shared object" related to libcrypto.so.0.9.7 that I fixed (I guess) by installing openssl. But now I am getting this:
Code:
root@SKLAD:/mnt/disk1/Buffalo/MMedia/kserver# ./knots start
ps: invalid option -- j
BusyBox v1.1.1 (2007.05.10-05:06+0000) multi-call binary

Usage: ps

        w      wide output

        from ./knots:10:in `fork'
        from ./knots:10:in `detach'
        from ./knots:65
Any advice on what's done wrong and how to fix it?

Also, related question - how can I uninstall knots server?

Thanks,
godd

OK, nevermind, stupid me , I figured it out - did not have full ps installed.
Now I see my shares on a tablet in Knots client but cannot play any of my avi. Is it server or client problem?

Do you have vlc 0.9.x installed? Is that nas i386 btw?

EDIT: Ah, apparently not. You would need to compile VLC 0.9.5 for that thing, which may not be an easy task. I'm also not sure it has the cpu power to handle the transcoding.

Re: Announce: Knots - a video streaming app for non-windows users
 
I have vlc 0.9.4 installed on Linkstation.
The problem is apparently with mplayer on my tablet. I ran Knots from Xterm and got some errors:
Couldn't resolve name for AF_INET:
File not found: ':4215/stream.asf'
Failed to open http://:4215/stream.asf

and then:

Mplayer interrupted by signal 13 in module : exit_player - Mplayer crashed. This shouldn't happen.

Does it help?

No, definitely it hasn't enough horsepower (it has more or less the same as the tablet, mine does fine as an all purpose server, but not for video transcoding).

This means it hasn't detected your servers ip. Either you are using a wrong interface in the config or the ifconfig library fails to detect it. If you are sure it's the correct interface, add ip: your_nas_ip under server section. It should then say "Starting Knots 0.3.4 at nas_ip:4212" in the log. But like Luca said, it will prolly not have the horsepower to transcode.

Any of you guys have experience with the DroboShare? It runs linux and the manufacturer is interested in getting more DroboApps -- but is the hardware powerful enough to transcode videos?
