Thanks for the pointers but I see only "My videos" with the usual images and audio icons to the left and right.

Should have mentioned in previous post that I was using N800. Tried same sequence on N810 and the plug-in shows up (and works). Awaiting response from handful then I may try uninstall/re-install on the N800. Looking good!

Hi guys,

I thank all of you in behalf of whole team for the compliments, also for the "first" run of our new " team member " Adriano, who did the youtube plugin main coding and also did the last.fm plugin (of course we are a team and theres the hand of everyone in the work). But I think it's a nice start for adriano joining our group

Let me try to answer some questions:


@Tom : thanks tom about the untitled albums its possible, the only problem is that you may get a huge list inside the album music list. But of course, we added browse by folder to aid that a little. We will get back to this, is always the same problem time x priorities.

Yeah, all songs will be a little pain while we don't deploy the search system or the jumpers in the bottom part. Our " care " is to just not take a 2 scroll approaches, as the device cannot hold the movement we need to the list to jump from one section to other.

for car mode we have other plans but we do listen to this, and lets see if we can improve it more as we go.

@Mika
You don't have to boot. If you don't have canola installed that's perfect. Install beta7, install the youtube plugin and themes if you like. no reboot necessary. The first reboots were just to make sure you "shutdown" all side " applications " that canola relies on and are being updated by a new installation.

Well, being quite honest, we fixed most of issues, and we could say it's final, as it's missing only upnp. the rest is always improvements, but I think the basics are covered very well already. It will get better for sure, but we don't think you will have any problem. But if you have it, it would be a pleasure to help you out until fix it. So if you want my word: you can install it already

@Stjuste
I think this small issues are something like the button is clicked when the cpu is too high (mplayer + downloading) and then the event is missed / drop.
About Nokia paying us, while we are not "Nokia" we do have Nokia on our company name, so you got the point and we consider ourselves part of the team trying to create great experiences for the Nokia devices

@tmilr87 :
Thanks, but the team is "da bomb" and youtube is one more work of all the guys together to make sure it goes smoothly. It's not only our first downloadable plugin but the first "third party plugin" and also fully opensource in GPL (download the source code on the website ). Get a tablet for your little girl as a gift ))
new stuff : last.fm in the oven upnp : hard working on it, but it's not to the task (is a shame I know) and I think there's a lot to go and fix a lot of small but annoying issues. Also to help mplayer, xine to get better and better, because I know video is giving some headaches : /




Hi Muki: very strange, because we had "days" of testing, and etrunko only I think installed in something like 7 n800s just yesterday. Can you point us the previous state?
Be sure to not have some " devel " repositories, those are the guys who can really create a mess in the installation : /

Also: try running canola in xterm with -vv to see if the error happens when trying to load youtube, than show it to us...

We don't want to have problems with future plugins : /

I couldnt wait so I did install and test. Canola v2 Beta7 looks very nice. But I am having problem with YouTube search.. It does give An Unknown Error Has Occured. Most Recent/Most Viewed do work and it plays videos nice.

Search and categories wont work.. After I enter text to search, it starts search -> An unknown error has occured -> No items found.

Youtube isnt very nice when search doesnt work..

hi Marcelo, previous version installed was beta6, no themes. I cannot redirect terminal output (using '>') to capture canola debug output. Any suggestions?

I did have some devel repo's active but I'm fairly certain I disabled them before upgrading canola. Do you think a fresh canola install is needed or would you like to identify what is failing here first? I'm easy either way.

Well, you can try doing the canola-cleanup, reboot and trying again :/ but this is fairly strange and of course we would like to find a bug and fix : / but we need as much information as possible

See if you just can read, and see if any error appears in the beginning of the debug messages in Xterm itself : /

Mika : strange, because if it plays the video everything is working fine, no reason to break just the search.

Well, I know it sounds weird to ask you, but can you try 2 things:

1) open the webbrowser go to you tube and do a seach?
2) reboot and try again :?

this is quite strange : / we haven't see this error while perfectly connected : /

Marcelo

It works now

I tryed with web browser next after I had problem. and ofcourse reboot is always good thing to try. I have no idea why that unknown error did come with search.. But now it works..

Its very nice. Thank you a lot.

Now i only need find out how I add my favourite Podcasts http://retrobits.libsyn.com/ and http://c64takeaway.com/ to it

Also I would be nice if search keyboard layout could be changed to qwerty or abc. I got back to play with it..

Marcelo, I cannot see anything obvious in canola debug output so I have sent it to you in a PM.

BTW I have checked that /usr/share/canola/plugins/canola-tube.zip exists.

Hi :
Mika : the tip : install canola-tuning. you get covers download + video thumbnails + the small application to add podcast without copy and pasting.
here's how it works :

Also the website has lots of tips and tricks to help you have even more performance (like avoid too big pictures, convert videos first, tagging your music etc)

Search keyboard? is the default maemo one : / it's QWERTY but you mean being in alphabetical order instead of qwerty?

Glad you like it!
