The OSD doesn't seem to be working though
Do you mean time indicator? Unfortunately it seems to be broken in 1.0rc1 release, see https://garage.maemo.org/tracker/ind...id=54&atid=269
If you actually wanted to report something different, please provide a bit more details.

and is there any way for mplayer to remember the last volume setting - I'm always having to whack up the volume as soon as the video starts (and the max volume is still a bit on the low side).
Sound volume currently is always set to 50% on start, probably it can be changed to remember previous settings but I did not look at it yet. I'm sorry for being formal, but feel free to submit bugreport or feature request at garage trackers, so it will have more chances to get improved

The tearing is terrible but hopefully Nokia will fix that in a future firmware/patch - it affects Opera too (eg. dragging a page around) and has been reported by one of the Canola developers as a major issue.
Yes, that's the most important issue. I tried different methods to workaround it, but nothing seems to help (a curious thing is that N800 framebuffer driver seems to have some options for enabling vsync, but they do not seem to have any positive effect).

Playing around some more I realise my N800 is using the Nokia770 video output driver which seems to work quite well. However the xv video output driver is repeating frames and getting stuck during playback.
Yes, I decided to make 'nokia770' framebuffer based video output driver default instead on xv at the last moment. It seems to be much more reliable and faster right now. Hopefully the next software update will make xv a more attractive option.
