hows the youtube plugin going?

Another problem observed:

When playing an MP3 album and starting on another song, Canola will sometimes start playing a completely different song from a different album. After a few seconds, Canola switches to the proper song.

I have both "Loop" and "Shuffle" switches enabled.

Album art order comment: Shouldn't the Album Art be in Artist order? If you go into a store to get a CD, can you imagine the confusion if the CD's were in alphabetical order by album name? Well that is kinda how I feel about the current sorting order in Album cover view. At least a sorting option please. Thanks!

THANK YOU Canola Team for another great release.

I now realize that Canola will not play mp3 with "%" in the song title, but it plays well in mplayer.
Let me know if you need the mp3 file.

I just bought my N800 and loaded up Canola. I am trying to figure out how to bookmark an audio file. Any ideas?

Thanks,

@ joeF , while we do want to add bookmark, it's not implemented yet. We are first finishing the crucial bits (scanner for example)

@jabastien : we will try with the %. But if it plays on mplayer, you can change the default player to mplayer. But be aware that : mplayer playing audio (AFAIK) will use more battery than the regular one. and more cpu if I am also not mistaken.

@spice3D we have a lot more of request / and actual wishes to implement, but it's not that we don't think it's logical. We first implement the widget to list albums alphabetically. Then we will start the sortings, that is like Album arts by Artist and so on. It's just impossible to do everything in such small time frame be patience my friend that we will improve as time goes...

@fms : odd. We will try to "reproduce" it but if we fail, I will need more info from you.

@opposite: It's going well, everything is implemented, now it's entering code reviweing, because it's going to be released as open source example for third party plugins

@spice3D : your having problems with your wmas? did it work perfectly on the default media player? Because one thing you need to know (we, canola) don't play files. We send messages through DBUS to the default media player engine asking them to play. So if something is going wrong is probably there not in our software.

@rms : please understand me that is hard for us to do stuff based on "one person's " taste I know you are probably not digging it, but as we are going to release it probably as the example to make themes, you can change just that thing to any thing you want and with the service get the new theme ready.

@sj and others with m4a problems : well, the only way we can help is by getting the files from you. As I told you we don't make the support for this files, it comes from a pre-installed library. So, if we are not seeing them, it's because it's breaking before the scanner reach them ... probably. With previous send files this seems to be happening, we are able to scan and show, but the person who sent not.. probably something is really wrong with a file before the songs.. that the scanner just dies.

@stoo : can you give more info on the enconding? how did you converted it? so we can try reproducing a video here searching for the same problem to be able to fix it.

thanks for the massive amount of feedback!

Video podcast, one question.
I did a search and found nothing (o.k. my search skills in forum-engines sock but anyway). Can Canola play video podcasts ? I was able to add them but it seems that nothing happens or do i have to wait minutes when i want the list to be displayed ?

Example: http://www.tagesschau.de/export/vide...ast/tagesschau

(in german)

Thanks

i'm usin handbrake to encode video.

creating .mp4 files with mpeg4 video and aac audio. 400x240 resolution at 512mb/s and 25frm/s.

also some files encoded from mpeg2 (eyettv recordingon mac) encoded using quicktime to mpeg4 with mp3audio to .mp4 file, same res/frm rate etc as before.


hope that helps.

I have trouble installing. I have:

- a n800 with os2008 with no previous installation of Canola after the last reflash.
- I followed instructions on http://www.openbossa.indt.org.br/can...ll_second.html
- Application manager gives "Downloading canola2 failed" error.

<edit>
Using apt-get from the commandline the install worked. I guess application-manager is a how shall I say.. not such a great application.
