Is there something more i have to to?
No, it should authenticate if you used the same username and password you used to create the account. I just tested and it worked fine, maybe the server was down when you tried.

I think it has something to do with german umlauts (ä, ü, ö or other special characters) in the filenames. When there are files with umlauts in a directory i get the message "no results". After deleting all files with umlauts in their names, browsing by path works without problems and the client shows the remaining files in the directory.
Ruby has filesystem charset issues in Windows and these are hopefully fixed in the upcoming 1.9.2.

Thank you very much!
With m3u support you mean you want your playlists scanned and added automatically to playlists? I've been meaning to do this.

Previous and next buttons are available with video playlists, with music you have to switch song by clicking on the song name. There isn't much room for buttons but I guess I could add keyboard shortcuts.

You can store your username and password to device to avoid always authenticating, but you need to do it from the terminal:

Code:
gconftool-2 -s /apps/knots/username yourusername -t string
gconftool-2 -s /apps/knots/password yourpassword -t string
