Timeline : We have at least one more big update for march, we will release youtube and last.fm first (they were actually developed as example for the developers), and after that, I'm planning how much we are able to do in the other sprints. So imagine that we will try really now the 2 or 3 weeks interval (testing is taking a huge amount of time) so I see some of these features coming in the 2nd and 3rd sprint after the following one (beta7)


Hi again,

Well, I was and still am checking all your releases (missed the 4th one since I was disconnected from the world), and I can see a lot of improvement. I am quite curious about the last.fm plugin, and am wondering if it is better than vagalume. If so, I am switching to canola, promised

I just remembered about another (quite simple by its looks) add-on: button(s) mapping.
Since I use media players mostly (as much as possible) with a bluetooth remote control from my cell phone, the only input canola was able to get was "next track" and "previous track, defined by the left/right hardware buttons. If I could map the up/down buttons to volume, comfort would be GREATLY increased.

Btw, you said :

Does this mean that your team is lacking force to complete the task it agreed upon? Or does it mean that you are lacking funds? if so, I wasn't able to find any "donate" section on your website - a must for such promising projects

We REALLY want to do that.
Please, if you are going to change the settings of MPlayer, PLEASE warn the users! Oh, and if so, the uninstallation should return those settings to their previous values (a feature Canola is lacking - after uninstallation, all my audio codecs "disappeared"...)

about the testing:
1) automated scripts?
2) releasing builds every 2-3 days for users to test? I'm sure there would be a lot of enthusiasts - me included!

Keep up the good work
