Guys, please... tell us a little bit more about your problems before posting.
I cannot help a "Wheres my photos" message : /

So guide to posting :

1. Face the problem
2. try to reproduce it
[once you are able to reproduce it]
3. state your system, firmware (and if needed canola version 2 or 3 )
4. run canola on xterm, look for exceptions or errors, paste it here for us
5. if something is missing, try a reboot (without the power cable)
6. check the media library. Are your folder "checked" to watch for content?

BR

Hi AmigoKin,

If you have soundtrack CDs (multiple artists in one album) it can happen that they will be duplicated by Canola. There are just several ways tags can "show that is a compilation" so to avoid guessing, and make dirty hacks, we did this multiple entries wizard.

What does it do?

It searchs your media library for possible duplicated albums that should be one. For example.. you have a tribute to Metallica, and it appears as 14 different albums (one for each artist) instead of just 1.

hitting the multiple entries, the album will appear that... click it will show you a selection of the possible albums that are part of that one... just make sure they are one album.. hit combine... canola will clean up, copy covers everything for you.

Hope this helps!

Rocketman : then you need to send us the URLs, we need to investigate what could be happening. Podcasts sometimes have different formats, publishers forgets some tags, and maybe one of these details slow downs canola parsing. But we can only improve this if you send those problematic feeds for us.

I'm also having a problem getting a podcast feed to show up; I added the URL for the RSS feed (ends with ?feed=rss2), and it correctly fetches the title of the podcast, but said there was nothing available.

A weird problem I noticed -- when using the N810's keyboard, I couldn't get the 'fn' or caps keys to work at all. This resulted in me having to pull up the onscreen keyboard in order to type in a URL, since I couldn't get a / or ? or = any other way...

JD : please send us the feed so we can test / improve it and fix any bugs that maybe causing that.

The keyboard is a known issue (we found what yesterday actually) we are already working on that... sorry for that, we will try to release a quick update to fix this as it is very serious...

Hi!

We are working on a better flickr client. This one todays needs to download the picture (sometimes comes too big) then need to scale it down, etc etc.. so it gets slow sometimes. But in fast networks it works "ok" not optimal but ok.

Anyways, thanks for the feedback we will keep investigating and trying to improve.

NO! Thank YOU for this wonderful piece of software. Canola is my primary media player for the tablet :-)

What I *really* want is the possibility to choose the cover image for the albums. I hope you can add that in the next release.

Keep the great work!

Hei =) but you saw how it will work right? the pieces are there =)
now when we add the "pick from file" the quest for album work will be complete!

Thanks for the compliment (in behalf of the whole team!)

The album cover select rockz! I just wanted to suggest you that thing and you've already made it! Awesome! And the bug with first second of random song during trackchange has gone I think. Anyway I haven't faced it still. Great job!

Wazd: Thanks! =) actually you can take a look in the WUD video ( marceloeduardo.blip.tv ) that I showcase this cover selection.

The goal now is really how to add the features you guys want, without needing to add more buttons / clumsy.

The cover selection is an example. Can be a little bit "hidden" for some users, but once you learn it, maybe other things can happen. If you could see the trick for the now playing screen you would be quite excited about it, but IP problems prevent us from doing it.. maybe in the future= )
