i love to stream my media content and watch it on my phone every night in bed... i used to have KNOTS working but distro updates and VLC updates mess up everything and im having a hard time kepping it to work.

is there and alternative media streaming for N900? i tried installing Tversity on my windows partition but i cannot stream mkv files...

i wish someone would make a nice streaming app...

I use mediabox running on an ARM based NAS device myself - works good - though mostly I just copy movies and music straight to the N900 every few days so I don't have to hold on to a toasty chunk of metal and plastic as it streams over WiFi.

Yeah, ukki did. It's called knots2.

PACKAGE: http://maemo.org/packages/view/knots2/
WIKI: http://wiki.maemo.org/Knots
SUPPORT - ISSUES: http://github.com/solmis/knots/issues
SUPPORT - CHAT: #knots on IRC:: chat.freenode.net

This program depends on a complete, working VLC http://www.videolan.org/ installation on your system. Sometimes people have trouble with VLC. If getting VLC running is a problem for you, then please direct your issues to the VLC community or VLC developers.

This means if you have a broken VLC, you can not claim that Knots isn't supporting you. Knots isn't responsible for fixing upstream libraries or packages.

Knots IS being supported. However ONLY Knots problems are being fixed. Not your broken system.

I hope this closes the thread.

oh YES KNOTS2 is what i used to stream my media with... problem is my main OS is Sabayon and i cant make it to stream. even on my windows partition i cant make it to stream.
i did go to the #KNOTS irc and ask for help there but still every time i run the server CML output is always "waiting for vlc to start..."

@dchky
mediabox is good but it cannot stream mkv files like KNOTS2 does
