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?

Simple : putting seek to the up and down keys is totally a developer solution with no knowledge of basic usability /semiotic or anything.

They have the feature and just want to push somewhere. (ops I just found a empty key, nice)

Canola has design rules, and this is breaking them. why it should work like this only when playing on mplayer backend, which the user isn supposed to known in fact?

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.

That the point, we don play media, thus we don change anything there. Anyways, it can be a unfortunate bug and I will ask the guys to investigate it. But it for sure shouldn touch applications that we don actually develop. Mplayer and default media player we talk to them only via Dbus or other means, never directly.

Automated test for rich UIs don work like you are used to. Sorry, but this is a huge subject, anyways you can try taking a look. there has been a lot of advances in this areas, but we do have automated tests where it can be done, but the REAL test, the user finger print on the screen needs to be done in every single build, we need to generate random events that only a user generate and cannot be efficiently mapped to a test case. It more similar to "gameplay" test in the game industry. You cannot automate gameplay, because the results are more than just visuals. It the users reactions to each feedback that are taken into account.

Strange, because we did add. What you need is the FONT. We don send you a font that make this. so what you can do substitute the font with a font with the characters from the languagens. But remember: french should be working we are Brazilians, we have exactly the same characters and accents.

Send us the music which is displaying incorrectly because this can be more a matter of the scanner mixing up in your tag version, that not supporting unicode. (you can send a Private message I will send you my personal email )

Glad to hear that you are really using canola now I can see that you will be sending us more bugs and we will improve it even more.

The black theme don help save power It was meant exactly for that : simple, fast and really high contrast

Benson: you got it perfectly and we are restless we will see how to change this, and fix mplayer not only for canola but to any player.
