N800, OS2007, mplayer 26

1. Had problems with start. It hang indefinitely. Started after removing ~/.canola ~/.atabake (also start takes much longer than with beta7
2. mplayer26 - youtube videos still stretched, I understood from other comments it should be fixed?
3. compilation albums... argh, didn't agree with some decisions of previous version(s) - you lost performer data - but it worked! Now it doesn't recognised two albums which previously worked perfectly
4. Not Canola (don't know exact relationship) but cover downloader failed miserably comparing to beta7. Only half of covers were downloaded. I know this is separate project but I suspect this is somewhat related to 3. and feeding of metadata.
5. Less responsiveness of interface. In beta7 I could drag volume slider without problems now there is considerable lag. Note: when I just click in some point it works immediately, just dragging with finger is much slower
6. Animations are less fluent comparing with beta7 (eg. covers, settings tabs).
7. In Album covers list is bug: if album doesn't have performer tag, artists name stays from previous album. This way I have Reise, Reise by Katie Melua (of Piece by Piece)
8. Youtube plugin: when I open settings tab (eg to save video) while still playing; audio and video stops but after closing tab it just rewinds 10-20 sec forward as it was playing non-stop.
