On the N900 I can access the server via the browser after logging in, and I can stream video using the Browser profile (choppy, but I haven't played with any of the data rate settings). That makes me think the server is set up correctly?

When I go to the client I can successfully enable Remote Discovery but can't connect to the server. Connect automatically gives "not connected to server". If I try to connect manually, put in the same address that worked in the browser: mycurrent_IP:1978 and select SSL I get the same thing whereas I was expecting some sort of log in password request.

Any ideas appreciated,

If you trust just basic auth, you can disable ssl and use "force authentication" to enable basic auth without encryption. That should make it work out of box. But if you want ssl, you need to install the custom libsoup package listed in the wiki (if you are using an N900). I can't promise you that it doesn't mess up other apps using the libsoup library, but I didn't see any ill effects when I tried it.
