3) I already had the Medibuntu repositories active, but "sudo apt-get install libavcodec-unstripped-51 libavdevice-unstripped-52 libavformat-unstripped-52 libavutil-unstripped-49 libpostproc-unstripped-51 libswscale-unstripped-0" failed because the packages couldn't be found, so I skipped it.

4) I installed Knots2 from GIT.

5) I ran the setup (http://localhost:1978) and added mp4 to the scanned video extensions and wma to the scanned audio extensions, added my scanned directories, and updated the collection.

6) I installed and ran the Knots client on my N800. It worked the first time.

The volume was very low when playing via the Knots client, even with the system volume at 100%. I eventually tried setting the mplayer volume at 100%, which fixed the problem. Is the client using mplayer?

There's no video, only sound, when playing wva files in the client. They work sometimes from the browser. All other video and audio file types I tried play perfectly.
Glad to see some success stories I haven't tried wma, but I'm glad if it somewhat works. Anyways, if the audio volume is low and you are using the git version of the server, try using an updated client:

It has different key bindings for volume. + and - change the mplayer volume and up and down change the mixer volume. You can also try this to increase mplayer volume:
