I've just reflahed my N810 and found the same problem (Won't install the Tuning app due to missing Python file), I found a workaround that's easy and works, if it helps anyone. Before you try installing the Canola Tuning app, install MediaBox as that installs the relevant Python file itself, then install the Tuning app.

Not the perfect solution I know, but as I say, it worked for me.

The easiest way I found to fix this dependency and install the latest canola-tuning app was as follows:

1) Add the following repository to your application manager http://eko.one.pl/maemo bora user

2) Refresh application manager and Install the package becomeroot (its in the above repo which is a bora repo but works perfectly in chinook so dont worry about it)

3) Open an xterm window and type sudo gainroot

4) Now install the missing python repository as follows:

First type apt-get update
Next install the package apt-get install python2.5-id3lib
(replace python2.5-id3lib with any other missing packages you may need)

This should install the missing dependencies, after that you should be able to get and install the latest canola tuning package from the garage!

After installing, it worked perfectly for me and I was able to update all my cover art.

how do I install the package apt-get install python2.5-id3lib ?

kingka, see my previous post... This describes how to install this package!!!! I had the similar problem...

I just installed canola-tuning 0.2.4 without any problems :\

freezes whenever I do the "apt-get install python2.5-id3lib"

oh well. I have 2.2 installed... only half the album covers show

King : renato is working on this to provide a good package form application installer : /

What is this "Tuning" application?

Lough :

Canola tuning is application made by a third party person =) that fulfill 2 canola's needs:

1) Album cover art : the Tuning, loads the canola database, search each song, tries to find a album art inside the folder of the album, then tries to find the album art embedded as id3 tag... and the last attempt is to download from internet.

2) Video thumbnailer : creates thumbnails for all your videos.

Why is not inside canola this kind of feature?

1) Download of album art is not legal, as the IP (intelectual property) of album art belongs to the record labels. Thus Canola, cannot do it.

2) Video thumbnail depends solely on Mplayer, and we don't install Mplayer by default also... because of legal issues, so Canoal tunning makes sure for you that you will have mplayer.
