The slider is on the left so that you can easily grab it on the edge of the screen without having to worry to hit other buttons. What's wrong with it being on the left?

I agree. Something along the size of the N900 media player widget would be nice. 412b is the man behind the widget.

Good point!

Currently yes, because portrait mode is not supported by the N8x0 version of MediaBox at the moment. But we're close to it!

This is probably my biggest pet-peeve with the UI
Maybe I'm going to make this configurable. Actually the touchscreen of the N8x0 isn't sensitive enough to make single taps work well. To often you end up opening stuff instead of scrolling.
The N900 version defaults to single tapping because its touchscreen is excellent.

How do I remove folders from showing up when looking at local images (I can 'add to playlist' and 'put on shelf' but not 'remove from index')?
Removing particular files from the index is not yet implemented. You can clear the whole index, however.

In Media box I tries setting the flash media player to osso, gstream and mplayer but none of them works and either nothings happens or I get a message 'Invalid Media'.
Can you get YouTube to play on the N8x0 with any app, or maybe the problem lies elsewhere?
