thy a lot in advance!
I'm guessing you're running KDE in SuSe? If I remember correctly, KDEs 'systemsettings' has a submenu for autostarting. You should be able to just make a new entry and stick /your/path/to/knots.rb in there. This should make it autostart. If this doesn't work - I noticed that knots needs the parent shell to be in the directory where knots.rb is located - you can try to stick this into the autostart entry instead:
Code:
cd /your/path/to/the/dir/that/contains/knots.rb/; ./knots.rb

Yeah, I made a PKGBUILD for Arch. Seems to work well. By the way, the server frontend is very slick and nice. Good Job! I don't really like the client frontend though. It looks a bit rough and bold and the icons are very large. It would be nice if the look and feel was just like any of the official apps; more hildonized so to speak.

I'm also noticing that the backend seems to be very slow on indexing the music. :| It's been running for almost an hour now and has managed to index only 4000 files. For larger collections this is taking half an eternety. And during all this time it's using 10% CPU. What the heck is it doing? ^^
