Thanx hillbicks Now I came a little bit further.. Had to change keyserver in (the one you provided timed out)

but not all the way:


apt-get install ruby1.8 ruby rubygems libsqlite3-ruby libopenssl-ruby vlc ffmpeg

Following packages has dependencies wich cannot be met:
ffmpeg: depending on: libavcodeccvs51 (>= 3:20070329) but will not be installed
depending on: libavformatcvs51 (>= 3:20070329)but will not be installed
depending on: libavutilcvs49 (>= 3:20070329) but will not be installed
depending on: libswscalecvs0 (>= 3:20070329) but will not be installed



Tried to install them manually:
apt-get install libavcodeccvs51
But that is depending on libavutilcvs49.
tried to install that package:
apt-get install libavutilcvs49
But then will a lot of packages be uninstalled (tried it and the outcome is the same)



OK so i tried to start knox anyway.

I can access knox through the webinterface and in the settings tab VLC is empty.
So I put /usr/bin/vlc in the box and restart the server.
but it made no differense.

If I run the command /usr/bin/vlc it seems to start:
~$ vlc
VLC media player 0.8.6h Janus
[00000287] skins2 interface error: Cannot open display
[00000287] skins2 interface error: cannot initialize OSFactory
interface for remote control initiated. Type "help" for help.


have tried this as well:
./scripts/setup new_vlc 1 "VLC >= 1.1"


I seem to got totally stuck. please advice
