ukki, got knots working using openvpn, having access to all my media from almost anywhere is amazing, thanks once more.
What I was asking is for a way to control an analog, hardware encoding capture card, in my case a pvr-250 from hauppauge. The card can be accessed in vlc using vlc:// as a prefix.
Also, do you have a non hildonized client? I find knots much nicer than mythvideo, and its ability to transcode would allow me to watch content on underpowered clients.
