I like the look of Canola but Kagu is still better music player to me because of maemoscrobbler support and headphone sense. I would really like to see those features in Canola.

Hello - does anyone else have this problem -solution?

Canola loads components then just sits at the green screen and does nothing. I'm using N770HE.

@dbuur the common and boring questions =) :

a. did you installed the correct version for HE (using 2006 packages not bora) ?
b. did you try pablob tips, in fully removing (using terminal) canola2, it's library and then tried installing again?

If so, let me know... we will investigate further but as in a first glance I cannot help much...

Headphone sense was suggested, is a great idea, but entered the final of the queue : /

last.fm is on the list, after youtube support.

@eaaronp : the hardware keys support is coming, it's not only " adding " it to them I posted about how they are going to work, so it takes a little more time to do it right..
and of course we set some " priorities" like.. not detecting people's song, id3 problems as first to go :/

sorry, but don't worry this will be added as soon as we can do it!

Hi!

Actually I have one big sd card (8 and 4 gigas) that are used as My media and also ended up as canola testing cards (of course I added a lot of media from people here in the forum)

As we are loading the pictures with no hacks, I think what's happening is not really a bug, just memory full, because Mediabox says
" Loading 1086 items " goes.. goes... and then locks everything up... not even the home button in hardware answers, or when it answers couple of minutes ago nothing is able to drawn there.

I think you can test with a bigger library only to see if that's hte problem...

But it was not a critic, or even that I think it's a real problem for you... was just a way of exemplifying that things sometimes doesn't work for our specifics " scenarios " the same way like canola doesn't have the sense support, or even will never have the same "playlist" style of kagu.. or the always on menu approach you chose. That's the beauty of it =)

Even, there's already a lot of open source media player =) why one more (Ok, I'm kidding on this one)

But hey! 75% of canola is open source =)

Cheers dude!

I always forget to answer those questions. I did install the correct version, and I did use the terminal to erase all of the previous install.

dbuurr : our last resort then :

1) did you install some fix to the kernel, what kind of applications / repositories do you have installed?

Because, what is our starting point :

we get clean devices, flashed, no applications nothing... and install canola in all of them.. in all firmwares possibles in the 3 devices (770, n800 and n810) if Canola itself had a problem on it's own those installation would fail.

But canola can have a failure attached to the presence or absense of some component due to the installation of other applications...

Also, HE is by far from our point of view the worst firmware to use with Canola... but we indeed have canola2 installing fine on it : /

So send me more information on those... and I know it sucks to suggest that... could you do a clean install? (from a flashed device) ?

Hi Canola team, I have just updated my Canola 2 beta from beta 2 to beta 3 and added Canola Tuning Apps on my Nokia 770 (OS2006) & N800 & N810 (OS2008) from the Application Manager with NO problems on any of the three platforms. Very impressed with the smooth installation/update.

I have raised a bug about *.png images not appearing in the three row thumbnail view. https://garage.maemo.org/tracker/ind...=125&atid=1989

Keep up the great work. looking forward to the future update that provides UPnP support

--edit--- like the album art selector for each album when in album art view and selecting an album to play then selecting the cover (To see alternatives), it is a little hidden away gem when you find it!

UI Feels even smoother in this Canola2 beta 3 release, getting more admiring glances at work when showing friends etc.

At 1st I was all excited to see a new update, but after multiple attempts at updating, uninstalling, reinstalling, cleaning the repository list, etc... I am not able to install Canola. It will keep telling me "installation failed" with no other explanation so now I'm without Canola
