Re: Canola for the N800 (and the n770) is officially launched
 

Well, Marcelo emailed me directly with the solution. This might sound completely simple to all the rest of you, but I was not aware this was required: Marcelo recommended I disabled the other repositories I had installed, the 2 that must have been added when installing apps such as xterm etc, and retry. This worked successfully.

I am now up and working.

Thanks to Marcelo for his help.

Re: Canola for the N800 (and the n770) is officially launched
 

Hi Karel,

Yes-I could play the WMA files in media player in both the 770 & N800 before Canola. And the WMA files still play in the media player.
However, the N800 does not pick up all of the songs in the library.
I can play them one by one.

I have three songs on my SD card that are MP3. Canola, picks these up.
When I rip my CD's, I rip them as MP3's, but Windows makes them WMA's.
I believe these are still MP3's. However in the details type they are
x-ms-wma.

Since I'm having trouble with the media player loading all the tracks in the
library, I was hoping Canola would work out.

Canola is fantastic, and since it's a front end and not a new player, I
understand the issue is mostly media player.

I'm looking forward Nokia's update on the playback of media.

I don't mind using both Canola for video and media player for music.
But it will be cool when I can use Canola for all media.

Thanks,
JN

Re: Canola for the N800 (and the n770) is officially launched
 

Had a problem with (i think) Canola yesterday.

Using an N800 with the stock firmware.

Running Canola listening to an album and I have the N800 setup to auto lock the thouchscreen. I left the album playing to the end and when I tried to unlock the N800 it wouldn't register any pressing on the square button and so I can't unlock.

I'm just going to let the battery run down and then reboot it that way but it's knocked the N800 out of commision for a few days.

Oh, and the battery is a nightmare to get out by the way :)

Re: Canola for the N800 (and the n770) is officially launched
 

Canola is really cool!

However, I'd like to second this comment. Main usecase for podcasts that I see is listening to them during a commute, and with 3G streaming that'd become quite expensive.

In the perfect world both podcasts and photocasts would "autodownload" on the background when connected to a WiFi access point, a bit like the default RSS reader of N800 does.

BTW, I noticed that by setting a photocast to run slideshows I can use N800 with Canola as a digital photoframe that runs either my own, or pictures of my Flickr buddies as a slideshow. I just wonder if I can make that loop so it doesn't finish at last photo.

PS: Any word on open sourcing Canola? I'm kind of hoping Carman is a trial balloon for releasing INdT stuff as free software...

Re: Canola for the N800 (and the n770) is officially launched
 

Uh, no good. Looks only to create a single playlist for EVERY song on the device.

I want to create custom playlists.

So - any other apps folks can recommend?

Re: Canola for the N800 (and the n770) is officially launched
 

Frank, when I save playlists using the built in media player and try to load them in canola it sees the list but when I open it says "No items found".

:confused:

Re: Canola for the N800 (and the n770) is officially launched
 

It's strange; I use playlists created by 770 Audio player in Canola with no problem.
You can try using PLC, which makes a single list and then make custom ones out of it (send it to a PC to make it easier to work on).

Re: Canola for the N800 (and the n770) is officially launched
 

I tried to install canola and my N800 crashed twice. Worse yet, now I can't install any
new software, even software that I previously installed successfully. Thanks, canola! I get a message saying that the install is incompatible with current software.
Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix my n800? I want to be able to install software again, other than canola.

Thanks

Re: Canola for the N800 (and the n770) is officially launched
 

Did you get that error ever resolved? ran into the same and look for a solution.

Re: Canola for the N800 (and the n770) is officially launched
 

I had the same problem... Turns out I didn't read the installation instructions fully. :)

I rebooted as instructed before running Canola for the first time however, I did not unplug the charger first...
The only way around it was to reflash using the Nokia Internet Tablet Software Update utility found >> HERE

Then reinstalling the software following the instructions. :)

Re: Canola for the N800 (and the n770) is officially launched
 

:confused: , I have the same problem installing Canola on my N800 - Application packages missing - libgcrypt11
Can anybody help with this please. It can't be that hard, I would imagine.

Re: Canola for the N800 (and the n770) is officially launched
 

I also imagine it's not that hard to search the forum for "libgcrypt11". :)

Re: Canola for the N800 (and the n770) is officially launched
 

i actually did. And all I found was 2 repositories - certified and not certified that did not have what I need. :rolleyes:

Re: Canola for the N800 (and the n770) is officially launched
 

Did you actually add those repositories to your Application Manager or did you just browse them in a web browser? From the Canola site those should be the only repositories needed to install. You should probably go ahead and add all of the repositories from http://maemo.org/maemowiki/ApplicationRepositories so you have access to most of the applications available. EDIT: If you add the INdt Games Repository you might have to disable it to get the application list to refresh properly, at least in my case I had to.

Also, try following the instructions from the Canola site.
