Hi,

Just wondering if anybody uses Orb to stream media when they're away from home, or even away from the PC. I generally use it most when I'm in the kitchen to stream live TV to my laptop while i cook stuff.

I've had problems getting streaming video to my n900 though, which sucks.

Is anyone working on a native app for Maemo so you don't have to use the slow web interface? If nobody else is, I might try my hand at it. Although I've had the worst experience ever developing for Maemo so nothing will probably come of it. I'm also working on a simple rts in XNA targetting the Xbox, PC, and Zune simultaneously so I don't know how much time I'd actually devote to it.

Try Tversity buddy, its excellent. N900 found it straight away, Id even forgot i left it on. Music and vid work great.

I'll check knots out, but a search for knots or knots server didn't turn up anything useful. Do you have a link?

EDIT: I feel stupid, there was a post about Knots 2 a couple threads down. Nvm

Check out the wiki page for installation instructions & detailed, useful information:

http://wiki.maemo.org/Knots2

Hope that helps.

Edit: Good, you found the Knots 2 thread. Still, the wiki page is quite useful.
