That's not true. Things like mediaserv (on Linux), or Orb etc (on Windows) all allow you to run something once on your PC and then access the videos through a web interface and the built-in Media Player or mplayer.

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.
