I downloaded knots2 from git, but when I run http://localhost:1978/ in my browser, all it does is continuously refresh. I can't change anything in the tabs.
ETA: Hmm... strange, after a reboot everything is fine. Now to figure out if I can stream my dvd

I'm sure flac can be transcoded, just add the extension to scanned audio extensions.
I've tried with both SSL and without but can't seem to connect via 3G or external WIFI connection. Should this connect automatically if I have entered the remote discovery option? I have tried manually with IP too to no avail.
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?
I'm also failing to get flac to transcode externally, I've added the extension and they are scanned to the database. However when I try to playback through the browser all I get is garbled sounds with the browser profile. I tried local playback and passthrough seem to work ok on local network. 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

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.

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

Neither connect automatically nor connect manually work, both say unable to connect to server. In connect manually I'm entering "IP of home router (server)":1978
Weird that from the web it works fine it's just the N900 client that doesn't want to work.

The profile is set as follows:
Audio Format: vorbis
Audio Bitrate: 64
Audio Rate: 44100
Mux ogg
Stream Extension ogg
Audio Channels 2
Tried adding more buffer to no effect.
I have 500 kbps upload so should cope with this? I've managed to stream flac ok with Orb before...
Any more settings I can try?

I would use MP3 as it seems better supported but my MP3 tags are all over the place and I've been concentrating on my lossless collection the last few years as storage costs are so low these days.

I will look to get on IRC when I have some time.

Any ideas? it looks like a javascript just lauching the refresh and renders the application unusable. I've tried IE, firefox chrome... Same pb for all of them...

I'm sure flac can be transcoded, just add the extension to scanned audio extensions.
The rest of you having "stream failed to start" messages, please read the wiki. Checklist is quite short:
If you can view videos in a browser using the 'Browser' profile, the problem with the client is either too new VLC or firewall.
If your VLC version is 1.1.x, you have few choices. Install the extra decoders package and use the 'Browser' profile on client. Or edit the n8x0 profile with a browser, type mplayer to player field, save the profile, reconnect with the client and select the n8x0 transcoding profile. Also make sure the setting 'Using VLC 1.1 or newer' is set to yes.
