You must have missed the episode where they all went swimming in the pool.

You can store your username and password if you don't like typing them, but you need to do it from xterm:

Code:

gconftool-2 -s /apps/knots/username yourusername -t string
gconftool-2 -s /apps/knots/password yourpassword -t string

hey ukki i still can't get it to stream properly
i was using a vlc 1.0.5 then i figured and downgraded my vlc to 1.0.0. it sometimes streams over my wireless local network and sometimes it doesn't and i dont understand the problem at all
do i have to have vlc open and the localhost open in order for it to stream ?
i would really appreciate your help because i am planning to get this huge 3G global unlimited plan on my mobile and i want knots to work.
so why do i see the files and they stream fine but i can't seem to hear the songs or see them. rarely i was able to stream anything and hear it on the client

I can't really help with this info. If you can find your way to our irc channel, I can try to help you there.

Not a problem for middle east region people. Their toilet has a fountain to squat out water. Just to brag a little about my trivial knowledge.

You can use http://webchat.freenode.net/ , just pick a nickname, channel name is knots.

hey man i downloaded a client called mirc and typed knots as the networks name. can i access the channel from there ?
the freenode website keeps telling me am denied or banned or something
i think its because my ethernet has a dynamic ip address that keeps changing ?

You need to connect to freenode network, it's probably listed there by default. Once connected, join the channel #knots

I've only had it installed for a few days now but so far I've used Knots2, running on my N810, in these ways;

. Late at night, falling asleep, the tablet on the nightstand playing a movie (two nights now and I am only 1/3 into the "Howl's Moving Castle" anime),

. Restroom/patio/couch/kitchen 'streaming' of movies and music (now got about 15gig of music accessible through my tablet),

. Handing the tablet over to my girlfriend's niece to watch cartoons on it.

. Convenience-if I watch the movie while connected to the internet I don't have to convert the file in any way (only if I plan to watch the movie off line on the train, etc).

Thanks silver for the anime suggestion.

I'll hit that after I'm done with Monster which I still have a few weeks left on.

Yeah, kind of wish that ukki didn't remove some of his old code where I guess you could stream the video and save it directly on your memory card.

Anyway, what are your settings for Howl's Moon Castle?
