I think in Vista/7 it needs admin rights to add git to PATH and in XP it does so by default. If this isn't the case, can you correct it in the wiki? Maybe git for Windows has changed.

-I have P4 3 GHz and if i look vlc.exe process it looks like it doesn't never go above 50%.
- Videos with lower resolution work flwalessly but videos with higher resolution stutter.
Is that with hyper threading? You can try adding 2 threads to the profile and switch mp2v to mp4v and mp2a to mp4a and see if that helps. Also try lowering the bitrate if that helps. This would be a good time to start sharing some profiles so we could find an optimal N900 profile for WLAN usage.

Most people like it (including me) and there's not much room for more buttons (if you use portrait mode), but you can always remove the resume point with the 1:23 button. But I added an option to server to disable media resuming server side. Just run "git pull" inside the knots folder, start server, go to settings and add a new setting

Description: Enable media resuming
key: enable_resume
value: 0
