Okay - I tried this all over again

(a) ran canola-cleanup to wipe out all traces of canola from my tablet.

(b) installed Canola2 Media Player version 2.0.0-maemo1

(c) installed Canola2 Tuning Plugin version 0.2.3-maemo2

I have been able to set up my music, video and photo library, and generate cover arts for all my albums. The Tuning Plugin seems to be working okay. The only glitch that I encountered was that my videos were not recognized the first time around, and I had to restart once.

I did not install any other plugins this time.

Let me know if i can provide any more information that can help you debug
