OS2008 package for mplayer is available in extras devel repository, check this thread for more details

Mplayer processed my little 32Mb avi cartoon w/o problems or re-encoding. It looked great!

Unfortunately, large xvid / H.264 files ( I tried an episode of star trek and an episode of deadwood) still fail. I don't think it's an mplayer issue...

BTW, when I attempted to add the repository to the hildon*.list
Code:
deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/ chinook free nonfree
apt-get update choked. Did I format it wrong?

Yes... it is non-free

If not an mplayer issue, perhaps the file can't be read fast enough from the SD card. You could try messing about with the cache setting to see if it will play for longer.

Yes, I'm going to play with settings. Anyway, I was really encouraged with mplayer's performance with my little clip. All kudos to Serge for his optimization job in porting this app.

I can't login to Gmail through the webpage or sign on to Gtalk using the built in app in OS2008. Anyone have an idea?

People have lots of ideas. :D But without any idea of what your seeing or errors that are being displayed I don't think you'll get much help.

I get an unable to conenct to one or more accounts when using the built in accounts application. And when going to just gmail.com and I enter in my login credentials, it keeps telling me I have the wrong password...

There is a known bug that passwords do not enter correctly using the fullscreen thumb keyboard. A password of "passkey" will not only show as ******* but will erroneously be entered as "*******" giving you the incorrect password. Do not use the fullscreen keyboard and make sure you type carefully.

Wayfinder's odd in the way it doesn't recognise local mailing addresses, but lnstead requires the township (or ZIP code) of that address. It certainly makes the software less useful.

I tried to hold out for the official release of 2008 for the n800 but couldn't stand the pain. I don't see why i waited. I love the polished feel. A little work to get things installed but no more than 2007. Thanks for all the info in all the posts. Now i think i will buy 2 of those 16gb sd cards.
