Hi again,

video playabck again:
I selected one of the videos that I uploaded myself to try:
lagging in the manner I described before all along the video.
problem does not solve when played from local.

Just compared with youtube in the default web browser: smoother video, awful framerate (it is continuous, yet always at a bad quality).

Could the problem be that you don't say "thanks" to MPlayer loud enough?

or could it be that I updated MPlayer 4-5 days ago?

Ilia : we really don't play it : ) it will always play worse than on mplayer, but this can be a "version" related thing. I'm testing with .26 and it's working nicely.

On my other device with .24 is really choppy :/

(send me your video url ? )

hi,

Last update for today (11:30pm here, I'm way too tired!)

did not find any quick way to solve the video playback problem. Tried playing the default n8x0 video in canola: the lag described before does NOT occur. the video did lag 3-4 times during playback, but I consider this OK, since I know how much resources canola eats.
tried on a completely random video: no lag. Will focus on when/where the problem occurs tomorrow.

update on the hardware "back" button bug: still hdw button still does not work when the video isn't playing.

Good night everyone

video URL :www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXMP4mPVPAM (in russian, sorry)

or a search for : iliaden romeo julieta will give it to you.

good luck

another video i found choppy/laggy :

both of them are bad when run from internet & local.

Hi,

The problem is really with Mplayer. I have a version here with this problem and 2 with perfect playback. Is your video on the "correct" size / aspect ( or still stretched? )

When the video is playing on fullscreen, canola almost go to sleep, to leave mplayer alone doing it's work.. .so this is no excuse, but the fact that mplayer takes the playback and has a slightly worse performance (or not so slightly) in embedded mode.

As I have been saying, the only solution for us to really solve this problem is to work on a player engine for us : / I wish we had time : /

Update: just tried your video, worked perfect on the .26 version device.
It seems that the stretch fix may have influenced the playback ? I will forward this to Arthur (morpheuz)

also played more with your name, all worked perfectly. So we do have a mplayer version problem : can you confirm for me your version ?

Please everyone with Video problems check :
(xterm)

type:

dpkg -l | grep atabake
dpkg -l | grep mplayer

And tell us the version!

It seems that Atabake 1.3 and mplayer .24 is the worst combination. All devices here with 1.4 +.36 work flawlessly.

We are working on this to see what we can do about it :/ And now we were able to reproduce micro's bug (dbus machine UID thing )

damn it : /

As of right now anyways (I say that because with the way my luck goes, about the time I think something is great and works, it quickly dies on me or quits working) I'm exstatic with this release.

My Videocasts finally work ! One thing though for whatever reason if I try to add the url in the settings menu they don't work, comes back as no url available, but if I go to the url and add it via the RSS feed icon within the browser low and behold they work.

Thanks again Handful and the entire Canola team.

Oh, and btw you guys at INDT are friggin nuts, this has got to be about the 3rd time or so that you've released an update on a Friday, do you ppl ever go home ??
(makes robot noises in the background)

Finally a positive feedback hehehe (kidding, I was just wondering if everyone is going to face the problems)

TT : I think we are just a little bit nuts You know, the city is hot, theres a nice Air conditioner in the office, we like to hang around

I'm still unable to paste urls into the new podcast, radio, photocast fields. I don't think I've gotten any replies re this before, but still wondering if others have same issue?

Also had same sys time issue as first comment with lastfm, but not sure I'm undeerstanding the cause/solution?
