I think \ works in paths too, but Ruby on Windows seems to use / instead of \.

For the rest, please open a command prompt (run -> cmd) and type a command ruby -v. If it prints out a version number of ruby, it should be correctly setup. If not, please uninstall Ruby and be sure to use the rc1 version, we had problems with rc2. If ruby was correctly setup, please run the following command (if knots is on c:\ root):
Code:
cd c:\knots\install
windows_setup
and tell me what it says. If anyone got it working ok in Windows, please help the others.

This is what i get when i run the ruby command.

I get the same as sachin007 when I do ruby -v (copying his code)

Code:

F:\Users\sachin>ruby -v

After following the rest of your directions, I get:

Code:

Ok, Ruby seems to be ok, but for some reason it doesn't ask what sqlite gem to use and goes trying to build the latest one. So, please check if this works:

http://domhackers.blogspot.com/2008/...n-windows.html

Try right clicking on the windows_setup script, choose edit and change the gem install line to:

gem install win32-open3 sqlite3-ruby --version=1.2.2

Is this Vista btw? In xp it asked what gem to use.

Yes, this is Vista. What exactly do I do, again (sorry for being dense)? Do I follow all the instructions and input all the "commands" at the given link? Then edit the windows_setup script?

No, just try editing the script and then run it. Or issue the commands separately in cmd:

gem install sqlite3-ruby --version=1.2.2
gem install win32-open3

For some reason, this line:

Code:

gem install win32-open3 sqlite3-ruby --version=1.2.2

doesn't work.

This:

Code:

gem install sqlite3-ruby --version=1.2.2
gem install win32-open3

seems to do the trick. At least, http://localhost:1978 works now, and it lets me add media folders.

To confirm, what are we supposed to add for the server address on the tablet side?

Edit: I'm adding directories containing video files, and it shows the directories under "Settings">"Scanned directories", but my video files aren't showing up under "Browse" (even when I click "Videos" or click "by path", which shows the folders are added, but when I click on the folders, they are empty). Under "Settings" the "Items in collection" is remaining 0. The videos I'm adding have the extension .avi, which seems to be included in the "Scanned video extensions". Do I have to wait while it indexes or something?

Nope, you just have to click the link and it should take you directly there. (localhost represents an actual IP to the computer; you don't have to replace it with anything)

You can use localhost as the address if you use the browser on the same machine. To see your IP address, run ipconfig in cmd. If you are using a router, you could setup your router to give it a fixed address with dhcp so it always gets the same ip. But if autodetection works, it doesn't really matter.
