3) I already had the Medibuntu repositories active, but "sudo apt-get install libavcodec-unstripped-51 libavdevice-unstripped-52 libavformat-unstripped-52 libavutil-unstripped-49 libpostproc-unstripped-51 libswscale-unstripped-0" failed because the packages couldn't be found, so I skipped it.
4) I installed Knots2 from GIT.
5) I ran the setup (http://localhost:1978) and added mp4 to the scanned video extensions and wma to the scanned audio extensions, added my scanned directories, and updated the collection.
6) I installed and ran the Knots client on my N800. It worked the first time.
The volume was very low when playing via the Knots client, even with the system volume at 100%. I eventually tried setting the mplayer volume at 100%, which fixed the problem. Is the client using mplayer?
There's no video, only sound, when playing wva files in the client. They work sometimes from the browser. All other video and audio file types I tried play perfectly.
I haven't tried wma, but I'm glad if it somewhat works. Anyways, if the audio volume is low and you are using the git version of the server, try using an updated client:http://nakkiboso.com/knots/knots2_0.1-pre24.deb
It has different key bindings for volume. + and - change the mplayer volume and up and down change the mixer volume. You can also try this to increase mplayer volume:

Ok, so the problem is that VLC can't find the encoder codecs. It complains that it "cannot find encoder MPEG Audio layer 1/2/3" and "cannot find encoder MPEG-4 Video" ... "Your FFMPEG installation is crippled. Please check with your FFMPEG packager. This is NOT a VLC media player issue."
Ok, what's the missing step here? I compiled ffmpeg just like in the link, it didn't complain about missing codecs, you saw the output from ffmpeg in my previous post, it said that stuff was enabled... Sigh...

sigh indeed, looks like your vlc can't find your newly compiled ffmpeg. Can you check with ldd that vlc is linked to your ffmpeg? Maybe a simple ldconfig fixes it?

Found the problem. Because the medibuntu line failed due to missing packages, I didn't install a crucial package. This fixed things for me!
Ukki, please update the howto?
Code:
sudo apt-get install libavformat-unstripped-52

thanks ukki,
Its working on winxp>n810
I can tell a lot of work has gone into this, I really appreciate it.
some questions..
can I disable icon generation?
can I disable ffmpeg?
any plans to add more profiles to the client?
instead of width/height can I pass a scale to vlc?
or pass more args to vlc, like crop? etc..
I'm looking to replicate a good vlc transcode setting I have with 0.8.6
such as:
/bin/vlc -I http --http-host :8080 --high-priority --one-instance -v $1 :sout="#transcode{vcodec=DIV3,vb=512,scale=.5,crop top=60,cropbottom=60,acodec=mpga,ab=56,channels=2} :duplicate{dst=std{access=http,mux=asf,dst=:81}}"

the latest git server nails most of my questions
crop and scale is working, and with out icon generation, ffmpeg behaves way better.
I even got it serving the mplayer-plugin in tear/microB
many thanks
and more questions
video_encoder field is for what?
and if fps and audio_ratefield is empty, does it skip passing those args to vlc?
I kinda want it to be that way, just like I guess your doing with width/height ?
Is there a way for me to see an echo of the vlc cmd in a log or the shell?
Oh one more question, on the client..
mplayer's keys like "spacebar" "m", etc, aren't available
is there something I can do to get them to work?
thanks again ukki.
