the latest git server nails most of my questions
crop and scale is working, and with out icon generation, ffmpeg behaves way better.

I even got it serving the mplayer-plugin in tear/microB

many thanks
and more questions

video_encoder field is for what?
and if fps and audio_ratefield is empty, does it skip passing those args to vlc?
I kinda want it to be that way, just like I guess your doing with width/height ?
Is there a way for me to see an echo of the vlc cmd in a log or the shell?


Oh one more question, on the client..
mplayer's keys like "spacebar" "m", etc, aren't available
is there something I can do to get them to work?

thanks again ukki.
