Button mapping : we have been talking about that a lot, but of course you will not get the full thing, as canola will not have " selection " moving around but in my website you can find the explanation of how button map will work, and the 2 states planned for that (scroll and playback controls)

Sorry, I must be blind since I can't find it. Mind posting a direct link there?

(remember we are a small company, we need to do other projects to pay the bills).

Hey, no one is blaming you! most of us are thankful for what you are doing, not the opposite!

What I said is that when embedded on Canola, instead of leaving the events to Canola, mplayer gets them, thus creating some strange behaviors in the button mapping.

So, if I understand correctly, when one plays a video in Canola, the buttons mapping switches to MPlayer's settings? I don't see any problems with that; what did you want to correct it to?

ALSO: we do not, at any circunstance touch anything that wasn't installed by us (or the activity dependencies of canola) Mplayer, its codecs we NEVER touch it. if this is happening something must be pretty wrong and I certainly would kill the guys (kidding)

Please tell this to my codecs, they don't know it yet

Seriously, this occured when using the canola-cleanup tool on Beta5 (didn't yet remove the Beta6...). Sure, all the codecs are part of dependencies of all major media players, so they were reinstalled with any other install. Wonder if that was fixed in Beta6.

About the builds - yeah, that's true: you would spend too much time on sorting what feedback is good, and which is plain spam, so it wouldn't be productive.
As for the automated tests - I mostly have experience working with the server part, not the client. For the server, it's usually quite easy (relatively) to automate some procedure to run the same test (written once) on every single build.

Also, another request just occured to me regarding Canola - if possible, and not really hard (which I doubt), please add support for non-unicode encodings. Most of the russian, french, even spanish tags I have display only the standard latin characters correctly. the rest is changed into hieroglyphic symbols

P.S. - bought new earphones: now Canola works perfectly for me, even without any preamplifier (although that feature would still be nice). It's now my main media player.

P.P.S. - just out of curiosity, does the flat black theme actually helps save power? I just like it for simplicity and contrast.
