sorry for that.

could you mention how you got an ipod to work on canola? I could work around from that...

I liked Canola for it's relatively lightweight player capacities (audio & youtube); lightweight compared to most other players (exception: youamp). I tried something that I would believe to be a feature (playback from USB). If it does not work or is not supported (yet), just say this directly.
Since Canola isn't open-source, I cannot modify it myself to my liking. This is why I try to report you the bugs that I find - to make this player better.

now, I get the following:
while usb drive is mounted on /media/usb, canola loads as usual
as soon as I mount it on /media/mmc2/floppy, Canola stopped loading.

Code:

#canola -vvv
[...] loading until
DEBUG controller:111:get_controller_class_for_model() found controller class with filter 'Controller/WaitNotify'!    [ok until here]
process 5320: D-Bus library appears to be incorrectly set up; failed to read machine uuid: Failed to open "/var/lib/dbus/machine-id": No such file or directory
See the manual page for dbus-uuidgen to correct this issue.
   D-Bus not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace
Aborted
#

i'll try to find dbus libraries and reinstall them...

P.S. just found out something even more peculiar: while usb is mounted on /media/mmc2/floppy, I cannot launch canola from X terminal (result described above), but I CAN launch it from the applications menu.
when launched, canola sees all the media that is on the USB.
Launched a file from USB: no cursor to indicate position, timer going on left, audio playing!

edit 2: nope: disappearance of position & total time is only true for the first track. as soon as I clicked on the next track, everything went back to normal. only problem remaining: why doesn't canola work from command line, but does from applications?
