You should rip your dvds to dvd images or folders. Knots should then detect them. DVD disc support is little flaky.

Also under the server settings I have:
Use SSL (enables authentication): No
Use authentication without SSL: No.
Have also got all the ports correctly forwarded as far as I'm aware. I can however connect via a browser on external WIFI so I'm guessing if ports were an issue this woudln't work?
Please enable at least basic auth (Use authentication without SSL) If you can connect from outside your network with a browser, client should work too. Start a stream and use the "Check accessibility from the internet" -button. If it says everything is fine, everything should be fine. With basic auth you should store the username/password to device with gconf so you don't have to type them every freaking time. See wiki for that.

Obviously these wouldn't be suitable for an external connection due to high bandwidth requirements. Theora profile throws up this error: "undefined method `position' for nil:NilClass"

I've tried VLC 1.0.5 and the latest version...

Thanks for your help
Maybe VLC can't transcode flac to certain formats. You can edit the profiles and try different audio codecs: http://wiki.videolan.org/Codec

If passthrough works it means gstreamer can play flac so have you tried to transcode flac to flac, just lower the quality?
