Hi,

I keep running into issues with cover art for my mp3s -

Had beta8 installed before the update, and I only have the stock Diablo catalogs enabled (Nokia, Nokia 3rd party, System Software, and maemo Extras).

I've uninstalled everything and have run canola-cleanup, rebooted, updated the software catalogs, etc... a few times, and still don't have luck with cover art for mp3s.

Any help debugging/troubleshooting the canola-tuning-plugin and cover art fetching and/or other setup would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: I've watched the Beta9/10 updates for a while with interest, and I never had Beta 10 installed (just upgraded from Beta8). If this post would make more sense in the Beta9 bug reports, please feel free to move it, but I just wanted to be clear that I've been watching the Beta9 update(s) with interest, crossing my fingers that cover art would work again with another update.

Thanks.

We are going to deploy the full source, but being honest.. I don't believe the tablet devs will pick up and help it. Anyhow We are following a "dream" of having a "Canola2" non beta release where the basic features are rock solid and from there we are just going to make sure things are clear and clean for the users.
Wow, handful, that's really not a fun thing to have to go through. Canola, sadly, gets a lot of **** it doesn't deserve.

I hope you guys already know it, but it never hurts to be said twice, so I'll say again how much I appreciate the work INdT puts into Maemo. The tablets wouldn't be anywhere near where they are today without you guys.

I really hope the community comes out and surprises you by jumping right in and getting to work once the source is released, but, so far, its track record there hasn't been great.

Canola it's the most amazing piece of software I've seen in Maemo. Beta 10 has been working very well for me, and I'm very thankful for your work. Keep going guys.

Fresh install of Chinook and a Fresh install of Canola2-Beta9, and files will not play when you go into 'All Songs' or 'Random Song'. Song titles show up, but upon clicking one, it goes in to play the song, then pops up a window with 'File Not Found'. But going in under 'Browse by Folder' and then selecting the folder the songs are in, works. What gives?

I discovered it after installing Carman, and then uninstalling both with the Cleanup tool (which deleted both Carman and Canola, oddly) and upon reinstalling, discovered the problem. It used to work just fine.

I noticed the updated to C2B9 when it hit the repositories and I must say that I am very impressed with the current level of responsiveness. The transition effects from the main screen icons (movie, music, etc.) are fantastic and there's an overall snappiness that wasn't in previous versions and it's very welcome. This is some of the best software I've used on the tablet, very polished and enjoyable. My only real issue at the moment (I haven't put this through it's paces to track all issues) is the start-up and shut-down speeds of the app. Is this due to library scanning upon start-up?

Keep up the great work guys! There are those that really appreciate the effort!

Hi Gorgon, yes it unfortunately still scanning the media for integrity. We added in beta10, but the rollback removed this.

We are adding it again, so if you mark on the settings the option to "Disable scan on startup" it really speeds up the whole process

Hi Guy,
I am one of those who had to go back to beta 9 to get youtube going again. I have one question though: I downloaded a whole bunch of clips before and they were in the mydownload folder but the beta 9 youtube plug in won't see it. It only picked up the one I downloaded after the down grade even tho' they are in the same folder. Any idea how to make it visible to the beta9 version?
Thanks
Howie

I can't install the Beta9 update... it says "preparing to install" and then "operation failed" ...

What should I do to make it work?

The system is fresh, a couple of weeks ago I did the complete reinstall of the system...

Thanks.

Hi they will not appear in the youtube part, but you can add the folder where the videos are to the media scanner (settings -> media library - > media folders -> videos - mark the folder with the "eye with a V")

We need a little bit of more information :

Can you send us the log generated by the application installer? It says the reason why the install failed. Did you try enabling the "Maemo extras" repository in the application catalogue?

Go to the application installer,
hit the menu (the little icon in the title bar of the application)
and search for the application catalog option

once there the maemo extras will be disabled , try to enable it, refresh.

If your connection is ok, the refresh will be fine.. and canola will appear in the list of installable apps.

Try installing, if the error still happens you can find the log in the menu again (search for the option LOG) and send to us here the message.

This is probably by :

a. some connection problem
b. catalog conflict
c. proxy / any other filter in your connection.
