I keep getting segmentation fault whenever I update my collection.

Both times it happened when it was grabbing a screenshot.

I suggest you use rvm to install ruby 1.9.2 and use that.

This started happening with the latest sqlite3-bindings and ruby 1.8. 1.9.2 seems more solid. Or maybe you can install the previous sqlite3 bindings for your ruby 1.8.

You failed to read the answer ukki provided and thank him for it. If I were him, i'd terminate your free support.

need help. installed knot2 client but it's not showing up on the n900.

I would like thank the developers for this great application.

I have two questions:
- is it possible to create a launcher on the desktop that open the video section of knots ?
- is it possible to set a default transcoding profile per file ?


Here some ideas of improvements:
- an automatic profile system based on:

- server's CPU
- transcoding abilities
- network bandwith
- codecs available on the client

- improve the list view in order to display all video items on one page. Remove next/previous page buttons. Replace the top button (the one at the bottom left) with a back button (at the top right of the screen)

Nope, sorry. But both could be implemented on server side, maybe I'll find some motivation to add those features.

Not sure I have any motivation left for client changes, but you never know.

Is the client opensource ?
I found the knots's git repository but I don't find the client's source code.
Can you show me ?

Thank you.

If I have time I will try to adapt it to my needs.

Hi:
I believe I love knots even more than I loved my old n810 or n770. That's because it is, I think, in the right hands, "One media app to rule them all. " I have gotten it working well on my kids OLPC to stream video to the built in movie player app, because the XO has severely crippled/limited networking capabilities, overcome easily by Knots (web-based). Then there is the fact that knots is cross-platform and transcoding - and therefore extremely flexible.

Recently, I tried to get it working to serve video to an iPad, b/c my 880 is, for all intents..., dead, and b/c i want open-source and flexibilty, rather than the neutered pay for options which Apple allows. The iPad, as you may know, is severely crippled in terms of codec and format. I was not able to figure the right settings in knots, and whether to try to play in browser or via external player. I do know that I need h264 in mp4 format and I found some detail on ipad video format at the following 1 and 2.

Also, as to the OLPC, I only wish there were more clients for Knots 2, as it would be of great use to my kids (and kids around the world, using Sugar OS) to have a simpler way to access Knots2 video goodness. I see that the author has graciously provided the client source, but I wonder if a gnome or Sugar client could be compiled from that.

Any help, comment or suggestions greatly appreciated,; I sincerely feel that this is one of the smartest/best apps ever created for any platform.
