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

Im so frustrated! Mine keeps on saying "unable to install canola". I have dried dozens of times.

So you are saying we must flash the Nokia BIOS all over again to make Canola work? Yikes, that would delete all my programs. It would be time consuming to install everything back again. Or should I wait for Canola to come out of beta and install it by then. This sucks.:mad:

I tried installing canola but the download always gets hungup. This also happens when I try to refresh.

What's up?

I love the n800 but installation of programs is ridiculously complicated; it reminds me of the early days of DOS. Mainstream users will never put up with this.

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

Hi,

I installed the program. It looks super cool. It also works great. I have a question.

Does the program play WMA files. The player is not scanning these files.
I also installed on my 770 and the player is not scanning them.
Is this file supported?

On the N800 media player it does not scan all of my music files from my SD
card. It does pick up about 68 songs out of 170 songs.
Thanks,
JN

Tom T., you can use Playlist Creator, which scans your 770/N800 and makes a single playlist of all audio files or use the default audio/media player and build your own custom playlist(s).

I don't know about a compatible application on XP.

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

itkach, Canola (as of Beta2) sorts and plays album songs based on their track number and if the tag is empty, then, it sorts them based on song title/name tag.

So, you might want to fill track number tag using one of those file name to tag parsers or just manually.

Canola plays the same file formats the built in media player plays. Could you play WMA files before Canola?

ftao russ and beefy

as I seemed to have the same prob and no one seemed to be able to help, a simple re-boot (ie turning it off/on) did the trick. seemed to solve the problem of the appication manager saying it couldn't refresh because it was up to date. try it and thn try the "one click install" and hopefully it'll work for you.

as far as the app itself, it loks lovely, but unless you've tagged your mp3's and don't use wavs it doesn't really add much functionality as far as I can see.

Hello,

I have Canola up and running. I'm a new user and my question is what directory on the N800 do I move my files into from my PC? These would be pictures and media files. Thanks.

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

I have too many files that have names in the format "[track number] - [song name]", but have empty track number tag, and a lot of them are on CDs (cast in stone:) ). Changing all these files is not really a usable option. If track number tag is empty, sorting by file name or no sorting at all is far better option then sorting alphabetically by name. Alphabetical list of songs is pretty much useless.

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

Thanks very much for the reply and suggestion, but no go for me...still fails completely.

I removed the Canola repository (from a previous failed install attempt using the one click install on the canola web page), then restarted my N800, then tried the one click install again...

Still failed with the same dependency missing error. Even though I have the 2 listed repositories.

I guess Canola won't work for everyone...

Massive shame that...it looks so nice too, it could have been the killer app for the N800...
