Thanks Handful for all the hard work, and for fighting our corner. It's hard to ditch hard work that someone has completed, which is no good, or takes you down the wrong road - been through something similar at work myself.

Only thing is I managed to lose my canola DB when running cleanup.

Also - is there any sign of a Video podcast plugin, as that would make my media live complete!


thanks

Hi Gary,

thanks for the support. In a free product those are the things that make us go ahead.

Anyhow : We are still having small issues uploading the packages, and we wanted to make sure things are solid on track to put the new plugins back on track as well.

To be really honest : to enabled video podcast is just to add a couple of lines in the podcast, it is just a matter of getting things in the line :)

Let me know if anything else goes wrong so we can fix it !

We are going to deploy the full source, but being honest.. I don't believe the tablet devs will pick up and help it. Anyhow We are following a "dream" of having a "Canola2" non beta release where the basic features are rock solid and from there we are just going to make sure things are clear and clean for the users.
Handful don't get me wrong here: I *REALLY* appreciate the work you are doing with Canola. It is by far the best third-party app for the tablets and I love it.

But when I say I feel disappointed, I'm talking about the platform in general and its future. The tablet software development is dying and I feel very sad about that...

Hi amigokin,

Yes I got your message :) it was me also feeling little disappointed. I have been using the G1 phone, the IPhone and other linux products, and to be in the tablet for so long and not seeing a good evolution towards a great product makes me sad as well.

I wish we had more work force to do more things, for sure we could help the tablets a lot. BUT it doesn't depend on us :)

At least I can say that we are still doing work, the problem now is that our "paid" job focus changed a little bit to the future tablets (maemo5?) and that makes Canola suffers a little bit.

I'm still using a Chinook version, since the Diablo version did not have support for ogg files. Is this actually true?

The aspect ratio problem is from multiple saved .flv files from various sources.

In the framed viewer window it seems to stretched to fit.

In full-screen view the aspect ratio is correct.

@rdcinhou : yeah, it doesn't matter the source, .flv files are only played through mplayer, and mplayer cannot determine the aspect ratio with one opening. Some apps are opening the file twice to make it right, we've sent the patch to fix this but it seems it's not fully fixed.

: /

anyhow thanks for letting us now, as we will try to push this fix again,

No, it can. It reports the size after opening and you can resize the video window accordingly without having to open the video twice. It works well. I'm doing it this way.

Hi pycage, then we need to fix. I am outdated in that issue than, and I believe you have used it quite a lot as well. So I remove my previous comment :) poor mplayer getting the blame from me :)

Thanks py.
