Thanks a lot for the swift effort to help!

But alas, I'm a complete noob when it comes to anything remotely linux, and I've never used GIT before.

However, following the guide on the Knots2 Wiki page, I managed to download a "Knots" folder with 31 megabytes of files resembling a subset of the files in the C:\program files\Knots folder - so I figured I should copy the folder from GIT into this one.

Well, the server still works, but there's not "Threads=" setting, so what did I do wrong?

Try running the migrate.cmd script and restarting the server. A good way to update the server if you don't want to use git is to just grab the zip from

http://github.com/solmis/knots/archives/master

and overwrite the stuff in your Knots folder and run the migrate.cmd and restart the server.

And when you do test it, copypaste the venc parameter to "video encoder" field in the transcoding profile. Let me know if it works, I didn't get image with any profile in OS X.

I tried Knots with VLC 1.1 on OS X and it failed too. I haven't had time to check what has changed, but is it possible to get VLC 1.0.x installed?

Guess they rewrote the telnet module, I need to check if the new one is nicer to use. In the meantime, try changing the command a bit:

line 219: lib/vlc.rb change --intf=telnet to --intf=oldtelnet, if that doesn't help, try changing all telnet references to oldtelnet.

Server should allow you to connect even if VLC doesn't work so check that you don't have firewall blocking access.

Okay, grabbed the zip you linked to, and it was definately different files from what I got via git, but same difference in the end.

Anywho, your comment about pasting the venc parameter into the video encoder field sorta threw me.. the "threads=" parameter isn't a sub-parameter for venc, it's on par with height/width etc, so I was expecting that it had a seperate input field as such - but maybe I'm wrong, or just plain misunderstood you?

Example from the thread on videolan you linked to previously:

-#transcode{vcodec=h264,acodec=mp4a,ab=128,channels =2,deinterlace,threads=4,vb=2000,venc=x264{keyint= 120,bpyramid,chroma-me,me-range=8,ref=1,ratetol=1.0,8x8dct,mixed-refs,direct=auto,direct-8x8=-1,non-deterministic,scenecut=50}}

Yes, it's a separate field that should appear in the profiles once you run migrate.cmd. So if you want to try that above line, you paste:

vcodec to video_format
acodec to audio_format
vb to video_bitrate
ab to audio_bitrate
channels to audio_channels
venc to video_encoder

etc.

in lib directory there should be a file vlc.rb that you can open with gedit, just edit and save.
