As I wrote earlier, it works wonders on n810, just don't expect the HD-quality in the stream. But man, it's easy to setup and run, plus the seeking works immediately, you don't have to wait for the whole stream to complete, it's just awesome!

Wow, what an overwhelming response 
I guess I should have named it SuperMediaViewer3000+ or something. I'd like to hear the horror stories too, but judging from the views this is not something people are interested in. Oh well.

Nope, someone is interested (me). I have to find the time, you understand. Keep up the good work :-)

Well, I didn't notice the original announcement, and haven't tried it yet, but I'm definitely interested, I'll see if the required version of vlc is easily installable on my vdr headless machine.
How does it cope with a channels.conf with more than 7000 channels?
edit: I mean, does it retrieve them in batches or, like mobilevdr, tries to read them at once? (mobilevdr dies due to this problem, actually the fault is in the python class it is using, but it dies nevertheless)

The lack of response may partly be because it isn't clear from you post how it compares to other streaming options, and it sounds a bit like a unpolished quick hack (maybe that isn't the case but that was my initial thought).

It's quick (to install), it's far from being unpolished. If you ever wanted to watch videos on your tablet, I'd highly recommend Knots.
It's the only way of video streaming I have tried, but my impression from the other method discussed here is that you'd have to manually start streaming of one particular video on the PC first and then you can watch it on the Tablet. The difference is that with Knots you can request any video from your PC/Mac to be streamed on demand (now with WorlTV99 streams too). Oh and with Knots you only have to use the command line once to set everything up.

The advantage is that you don't need any additional software on the tablet, but the disadvantage is that it's not possible to seek in the stream.
So, as knots is a two-part solution it has that extra feature.

How does VDR cope with so many channels? I don't think Knots can handle that many channels atm, but I'd be happy to change that if it's doable somehow. I'd need your channels.conf and the html output from streamdev-server.

As Jaffa pointed out, I don't think any other solution (non-windows at least) offers seeking. It was the reason I started working on Knots in the first place. And I did put a lot of effort to making Knots as easy to use as possible. For example you can use 770 and n8x0 with different video quality at the same time without having to touch server configuration. But still it's a very early version without extensive testing.

. Besides, it wouldn't stay clean very long (mine is a motorised setup and I can view several satellites, though I regularly watch only 2 or 3), so I just leave it to rot away
