Okay...after uninstallation of Canola, Canola tuning, MPlayer
and running Canola-clean-up TWICE, I rebooted, installed Canola and voila it ran!
Then I loaded Canola tuning, ran the album covers...okay.
But when I ran video thumbnails it complained that I had to install the "Evil" mplayer.
So I installed mplayer and that's when everything stopped working again.
Same problem as before...when I invoke Canola from menu, it says "Loading" then n-o-t-h-i-n-g.
This implicates the "Evil" mplayer, don't-you-think?

It looks like that atabake was not installed. Please, use the last version of canola-fix and install canola2 again (remembering to reboot the device after install)
Thanks

Hi, thank you for your great work on Canola2 Beta 3. May I suggest a way to play videos with their original aspect ratios? I played some 4:3 files and they were stretched. Also tried some 2.35:1 ratio files ripped from DVDs and they were also stretched. When I play them on Media Player, it plays fine with the black bars on top and bottom. Thank you.

Do you have mplayer installed ? It looks like that canola is using mplayer to play your videos. When it uses mplayer, it stretches the video because we give a window to mplayer (we should correct this with a patch for mplayer).
On the other hand, you can edit the file /home/user/.atabake/config
and change the option "video = mplayer" to "video = oms". Than canola will use oms to play your video files and they'll not be stretched =)
Thanks,

That's exactly what it was! There was no video = mplayer line.
However, there was:
mplayer = mplayer
general = mplayer
I changed to
mplayer = oms
general = oms
video = oms
Works perfectly! Thank you!

All - Just notice there was a beta 5 version when I updated application manager but it will not install. Actually we are at 3 so not sure what this is. Can anyone shed some light on this?

It's true, the Canola2-Beta5 is official, if you had problems to update use the Canola2-Cleanup and re-install Canola.
P.s: We jump the Beta4 (Problems with the Build process)

1) it seems that today canola cannot deal with those "out of standards" feeds, that does not place the mp3 file in the correct tags, like the second one you sent.. places inside the CDATA sections, CDATAS are actually comments, so the parser kind of ignores it :/
We will add support for this lazy done feeds, but it just like the web, you have a standard, some other player goes there pushes people to other direction (like itunes) and everyones is inside a nightmare of compatibility.
2) add easier: Chenca, already added to a development version of the tuning application a small feed handler, that gives you option once you click on a feedlink (then on the feed icon on the bar that appears) letting you save as canola podcast, photocast or iradio.(or even add to the default media player) but I think it still a little complicated, of course you don need to control+c control+v nothing or even open canola, but we will see if we can get a better extension to work, that will just open the same choice once you click on a feed "preview, add to canola?"

Thanks for the support!
