I meant lib directory inside knots directory. But don't edit it. I just tested VLC 1.2-git version and it worked fine so I added a setting for it. So if you installed the server using git, run these commands inside knots directory to make it work with VLC 1.1 or newer:

Code:
killall -9 ruby vlc
git pull
./scripts/setup new_vlc 1 "VLC >= 1.1"
and start the server. I will make this default once VLC 1.1 is actually released.

If it's not installed with git, you can just delete the directory and run

Code:
git clone git://github.com/solmis/knots.git
to get the latest one. Or if you did install it with git, just cd into knots directory and run

Code:
git pull
./scripts/migrate
to get the new updates.

Heya ukki.

What's the bare naked minumum CPU processes required on a N800 for Knots, mplayer, sound, touchscreen and hardware recognition to all work together.

Just wondering if it's possible to kill everything else around those temporarily and if that would boost the performance on playing a video at all.

The current series I'm watching with Knots is a 640x480 video with no aspect correction being done.

By reducing the audio rate and fps, it looks great but I think the tablet could use just the slightest amount of more juice during some of the action scenes.

That better have made sense to you because I'm not typing this over again.

Well if there aren't many apps using cpu on the background, there's not much you can do. N8x0 profile should play most videos smoothly and that's why it should be used and that's why Knots was made in the first place N8x0 can't handle videos bigger than 400x240 too well. Serge optimized mplayer for n8x0 really well and I doubt there's much you can do about it since the bandwidth of external display controller is the culprit here, not just the cpu.

No no, only if you remove the old database or reset settings and only for as long as it's not officially released. After that I'll make it default and add a setting for older VLC versions.
