I don't really know anything about it, but it seems you can use VLC to view it if you have the app open, so it could be possible. Google for ppstream and VLC for instructions. But instead of opening the stream with VLC, add the path to Knots under Edit Media section.

This seems nice. I'm writing a PKGBUILD for the server to be installed in Archlinux, but reading your wiki page I notice that you don't actually have an installing method for proper distribution (i.e. not just git clone and ./knots.rb but whatever file structure ruby uses for its stuff). I would do it myself but I don't know any ruby, I only write python myself 
Until then i guess I just stick everything in /opt/knots2, but that would at least require it to save its config to ~/.config/knots2 (or god beware in ~/.knots2) but looking for those folders after I started the server yielded nothing, so I'm guessing it saves its config stuff somewhere inside the knots folder, which makes even /opt/knots impossible. So, where does it save the configs? It would be really nice if you could find out how to properly distribute ruby stuff in linux
Thank you.

..., but you can use passthrough profile if the media is something N900 can play.
finally i'm able to stream all my movie collection, this is just perfect!

(Still, an install script with proper linux hierarchy would be nice)

But dependencies are listed in wiki and server can be started from a startup script with

ukki, i tried to figure out a way to have the knots2 server autostarted in my suse 11.1 machine. i'm pretty new to the linux world, so i don't really have a clue how to do that.
is there a way to accomlish that? (if you already explained that, i'm sorry, i didn't get through all the 37 pages (yet))
thy a lot in advance!

(...) so packagers should be able to create packages for their distribution of choice if they want.
I'm also noticing that the backend seems to be very slow on indexing the music. :| It's been running for almost an hour now and has managed to index only 4000 files. For larger collections this is taking half an eternety. And during all this time it's using 10% CPU. What the heck is it doing? ^^

I could add automatic cover fetching to make it even slower though. Luckily you only have to do it once. Using ffmpeg to identify the file isn't ideal, but it works on all operating systems.

This is an amazing app. A lot of the posts on here are quite confusing as they keep mentioning support for ubuntu and what not. Since im a windows user ive finally got it working on 3G connection.
Make sure u got the port forwarded for 1978
And also add in the ports range from 19780 - 19785.
I found the Tablet Browser method the best to use for the transcoding profile as there was no lag and the player responded more quickly wen needed to be stopped.
Gna test it again to see if it works again.
