Handful,
Very nice update. The podcast and youtube are great additions. The lips sync here is better than in MyTube. Although I can't get player to recognize the MyTube videos.
- please try setting mytube to save to the same diretory. it watched by canola, then refresh media.

I do like that now I can scroll without it being so sensitive that it jumps to a video. I also for the first got the finger keyboard to come up. It only took eight months and your update! Hehehehe!!! Dan
- Funny, we did change things in beta 7, but now in beta8 to 9 we have a really improved experimental list (not included) that we will be "testing" with volunteers. I think this will reach the quality we aimed.


I would like to see audiobooks. I just listened for the first time to Dracula. Very entertaining.
- Yeah, I think that his is a great idea for a plugin


What I'm seeing is that Canola is evolving into a complete media center. Why not add features to enable playback of recorded or live TV, Satellite, Cable etc... ?
- We actually tried, we had a team working with MythtV, etc but it not that easy. It doesn depend only on us, it depends on people having the right hardware, that hardware having a software that public allows (api) to be manipulated /streamed. Really not that easy. But I think any vendor interested would be able to create a plugin for their product.

Keep up the great work! Dan
Thanks in behalf of the team!
