Just installed Knots for the first time om my computer(s), and it's a great idea/app, BUT I'm having some problems.

I'm using the standard N900 transcoding profile, and I'm getting dropped frames on high bitrate files - anything above 480p xvid would choke the single core on my 1.6 ghz atom.

I then tried my 3.7ghz quadcore, and now most 720p x264 encoded files played with no skipping. But once again - going into even higher bitrate x264 files, I got dropped frames again.

Having the taskmanager open I noticed only 1 of the cores suffered heavy load, so I figured the encoding process didn't utilize multithreading. I turned to my friend google, who linked to a page describing this setting:

threads=

This options allows to set the amount of threads that should be used to encode the streams. Increasing this number to the amount of processors on the computer, (or twice this number on Intel P4 HT processors) should improve transcoding performance.


How can I enter this value in the Knots server?
