Denvar, being very honest.. HE is by far the worst version to run canola on.. but...
We can try to make things a little bit less worst...so

1) make sure you have swap
2) install and update mplayer to it's latest more optimized version...

Sorry for that. It's slow, but for what you're saying theres something else also making it slower.

But he's the point : canola uses some optimization not supported by the 770, and of course a lot of drawing routines.. and loading files (like thumbnails) takes more then it should.. but we can do magic. I have my Gregale (os2006) version.. and it works. it does have a little bit of "hicups" when playing video.. but the rest is usable. Really usable.. not like the n800 or n810 but ok.


Yeah. this is for sure wrong.. something is really wrong :/

It should take more on the first first ime.. but after no more then 20 seconds...I know it's already a long time.. but..

So resuming: for sure you have something else going on.. but I will not lie, HE is complicated and we suffered a lot to release it. Unfortunately We are not able to improve much more... and we are at least happy the gregale works "nice". Maybe you can try updating things and see what happens, but I would say :

Avoid heavy (better resolution videos) try not downloading more then 1 podcast at once (it really eats the CPU) and if you can... go to gregale ... =)

I will try to filme my version running on the 770 so you can have a baseline and tell me how much slower your's is.
