Just installed Knots 2 to see what it's all about
Some quick questions:
1) When you 'add' folders that contain media on your PC does it crawl down and automatically add media in all sub-folders under that directory as well?
EDIT: Yes, apparently it does.
2) Is there any way to add media in a folder but not media that are located in a folder underneath it?
3) I read that you can add image extensions to media to scan for but that they will be treated like '5 sec videos' - is there a chance that images will be given a more 'permanent' treatment in their own section in Knots?
As somewhat of a photographer I got hundreds upon hundred of photos I would LOVE to be able to 'stream' to my tablet
4) I assume that there is no 'auto-scan' on folders. If I add/remove any media to folders on my PC I will have to manually re-scan that folder right?
5) Any chance of adjusting the volume on the tablet by using the zoom-keys like Vagalume does?
EDIT: I can do this when playing videos - but not when playing music.
6) After 'adding missing covers' I get cover art on the actual song. But when browsing my music by album the folders doesn't show the album cover arts. Are cover arts only associated with individual songs and never at a higher level?
7) And now the newbiest question of them all...: How does it all really work? The server I'm running on my computer is viewed via a localhost:1978 page. Is the content that I sync actually stored somewhere else or is the localhost/server setup just creating an 'index' of media that the tablet accesses - and nothing 'leaves' my computer and gets saved somewhere else?
So far looking very interesting. Will play more tonight and sorry for the very newbie questions.
