I must be the only one that remembers that.
Everyone forget that Nokia is in Finland? You know, the same Finland that's touted as being the most connected country on the planet with some of the fastest internet speeds?
No excuse whatsoever for this utter failure. Nokia - and the Canola devs - just need to man up and admit they phucked up the distribution.
Or does everyone want to be like President Bush now and blame other things?

After all this effort, I go under the Add Media feature and there is no networks share or UPNP shares. What a letdown for me. And I dont see that missing feature spelled out on the Canola2 website posting about 'current limitations'

It appears that Canola2 has no way to specify a network share or a UPNP server as a source of files. I expected it to download the file listing from the UPNP server, cache it, and make it available in the player.

(Off topic: I still think it's ridiculous that there's so many DIFFERENT repositories. We need one repository with EVERY file in it, mirrored across multiple servers, does anyone know why this is the only Linux that doesn't do that?)
The program is worth the issues with downloading though, as far as I'm concerned. It's definitely the best media player I've used so far. I hope that in the future, in addition to adding the tagged album art and wma support, that a FM radio plugin is developed, that'd only improve the software.
I hope that someone can create a good universal repository, or that maemo.org can actually get it's network problems fixed, but as of now there's nothing. And yeah, I understand the pain with it all; I counted my repositories earlier today and I've got 21! That's not right.

You know what? Phuck it. Canola2 isn't worth the hassle.
Anyone who gets this uptight over a media player ought to take a holiday.
Look - it was clear that Nokia's handling (their fault or Akamai - doesn't matter) of the OS2008 release was a screwup. That was fair warning that installing ANY application - Canola just being one of many - which relied upon that infrastructure was going to be a hassle.
There is nothing wrong with a development group focusing on what they do - development - while entrusting distribution (or packaging or printing or ...) to others.
Not to mention that this is a *beta* release...
Time to "man up" and start being polite, folks.
