Ukki, is there a place where you explain what the newest installs change/improve? In other words, is it worth it to reinstall the server to the newest version? Updates maybe in a text file zipped with the installer or from the wiki would be useful.
Ed. Also, question - I can't seek anymore, using transport bar. Has there been a change? It's really a necessary feature. Also, resume doesn't seem to be working for me either.

Heya ukki.
Because you have such a wonderful zest with coding, I thought to throw an idea your way.
Perhaps have a feature where Knots doesn't stream the video to mplayer, but instead, downloads it directly onto your memory card for offline viewing.
Do you think such a thing would be useful or even practical for that matter?
Just curious, that's all. Nothing more and certainly, well maybe a little less.
EDIT: yeah, so not gonna happen

Wow, didn't realise that you used to offer such a feature.
I probably would use it from time to time but it definitely wouldn't be a push from me to see it available again.
So what percentage of data from an original file were you typically seeing?
Say like a 100 meg video, would you be downloading like a 20 meg conversion of it? Just wondering.
And yeah, tonight's game is going to be huge!
I already have my keg of beer and snorkel waiting for me!
By the way, our goalie is right here from East Lansing.
I hope he continues to do good otherwise my city is going to burn. *lol*

Hello
Does anyone know what library I am missing if I am not getting mp2a audio? I am using the n900 profile and mp3 gives me audio, but mp2a does not.
I have twolame in vlc and libmp3lame in ffmpeg.
Thanks,
Paul
