Is it possible to add video feeds to canola? I have about 5 feeds that I watch from worldtv99 but I hate navigating through all the feeds in kmplayer to find them. Mplayer can not play one of the feeds clearly. So I would like to add the 5 video feeds to Canola. Thanks

Beta 11 of Canola reportedly supports videocasts now.

IMHO, Canola's videocast capabilities still need sorting out...

Have you tried saving the feeds you want as favorites with KMPlayer? After doing that, uninstall WorldTV and the favorites will stay but you will loose the clutter.

I also save the favorites or any new feed I find as a playlist file from KMPlayer to a directory on my memory card.

You can then use the Directory Media Scanner generator function in KMPlayer to load the playlist. Other players can also load these feed playlists.

it'd be good if canola could interchance data (or at least opml) with videocenter, and make use of Bun's vcurls!

Well, good news! The latest update of Canola (now found in extras) has resolved the video/pod-cast entry issues in "settings". Canola does not yet recognize playlist files but you can open the playlists you may have created earlier in a text editor and paste the videocast URL into Canola. (BTW, the entire WorldTV directory can be saved as a playlist from KMPlayer and viewed or manipulated with a text editor.)

However, after all that work, IMHO KMPlayer still does a better job as an MPlayer front-end. YMMV

Canola though has gotten much better as an music player, You-Tube interface, and LastFM client... Again, IMHO.
