The problem with default browser is..that you can't switch transcoding profile! Just to switching profile i use Opera.

The key to watch streaming with knots 2 in android is to......use Flash in stock browser, so you must make custom Transcoding profile with:

Audio Format: aac
Video Format: FLV1
Mux: ffmpeg{mux=flv}
Stream Extension: flv

Video Encoder: x264{profile=baseline,level=1,keyint=120,bpyramid, chroma-me,me-range=8,ref=1,ratetol=1.0,8x8dct,mixed-refs,direct=auto,direct-8x8=-1,non-deterministic,scenecut=50}

You can make some test ..with audio,video bitrade and size of the picture...to suite youre taste.

I hope this help.
Thanks for the reply.

First off - I've got a slightly different tab (Archos 101) I'm not sure what you're pointing at with the stock browser - the stream itself or the knots web gui? As I said the latter is unscrollable for me, pointing it at the stream opens it in the Video Player (comes with the tab).

The video player doesn't support aac sound - and when I chose mp3 instead it just pre-loads to 100% and quits with no error msg.

If I try and use the crippled web gui I can get the embedded flash symbol, but nothing happens when I click it. As I said I can't scroll or click on any dropdown menus.

EDIT: Just changed the browsers setting to "always enable plugins" - and the flash/flow player started, but the framerate is simple horrible.
