And i mean field where I can pass extra options to vlc. Same like on smplayer (frontend for mplayer) where there is field in advanced settings for experienced user to pass extra parameters to mplayer e.g. filtering etc..

Btw. How i can add those windows fix parameters to vlc's start command on servers start script.
Extra field is for other transcoding params like deinterlace,param=value and player will allow you to use either mplayer or gstreamer once it's done.

I should make the extra params for vlc default they disable those popups. If you want to test, you can add them by hand to lib/vlc.rb start_vlc method.

For now you can't add custom params to mplayer, but i think it reads the normal config. But I'll add a param that makes mplayer read a custom config in the next version.

Probably we should export default profiles and upload them to wiki (if it´s possible)

.edit
Sorry it's not default
Threads is 1 in default, but if you want vlc to use all your processors power and you have multithreading capable processor then put there 2.
I think I have an outdated knots server. My options go only up to cropright. I have threads, extra and player missing. Thanks for the settings though.

Actually it showed me dialog about crash right after when i restarted knots server.
I committed a change in git that should disable dialogs on Windows and restart VLC after a crash, but I'm not sure if it will work because the telnet error message I'm checking is localized Restarting can be checked by killing VLC with task manager when server is running, but a crash is little harder to reproduce on Windows. But hope it works.

Also put a new client in -devel that should fix a playback regression (and added another it seems ) and make it possible to use gconf to alter mplayer command used to view the stream (on one line):

Code:
gconftool-2 -s /apps/knots/mplayer_command "/usr/bin/mplayer -speed 0.5" -t string
would make mplayer play everything half speed. Not something you need to touch, but I'm sure someone wants to alter that.

I just promoted Knots to -testing, please upgrade your client and server (start fresh by deleting the .config folder if you have problems) and please vote for it if you think it's worth it. If not, well, then it will stay in -devel

How damn cumbersome can things get..

I am registered so i can post in this forum. I follow your link, and now i have to log in again? I try that, but apparently its not the same userid as I can't log in.

I try clicking "Register" on top of the page - and now it apparently registers me @ garage.

Fine two logins for Maemo stuff them.

But when using the garage login my N900 gets stuck on a blank "Remember this password" screen...

So no voting from me

Your garage account should work, talk and bugzilla have different accounts iirc. But if you wanted to thumb it down, maybe it's for the best

Well, since you've pretty much prepared everything for gstreamer support I'm ready to give it 2 thumbs up if I could
