@handful, cLin
Is there anything contrary to a symlink from the canola youtube-temp-dir to, say, /media/mmc2/youtube-temp? I tested it on my device and it worked flawlessly

for those of you who want to try it (on risk and so on, and *remember* that you did this change, so you can revert it when canola has a folder chooser for this)

open an x-term shell: you are in your home direcory now.
cd .canola/youtube
create a new youtube-temp-directory, e.g. on /media/mmc2:
mkdir /media/mmc2/youtube-temp
now the "crucial part": this one deletes your normal canola temp-dir
rm -r videos
and now we create a symbolic link called "videos" which points to our newly created temp dir:
ln -s /media/mmc2/youtube-temp videos
(in caps this would be LN not 1N)

after this you should be able to do a
cd videos
echo 1 > 1

and if you open your filemanager and go to the folder in which the youtube temp-files should be stored (internal mem. card/youtube-temp)
you should see a very small file called "1" now.
Delete it, as we don't need it anymore and test your youtube videos...


To revert this change:
=================

open an x-term shell: you are in your home direcory now.
cd .canola/youtube
rm videos
mkdir videos

this will only delete the *link*, so your "new" youtube-temp directory is still there and can be deleted.

Hmm so since beta6 i can't play videos in canola anymore. (I hear audio, but get just a black screen). Mplayer however works. I have the problem with all videos. Now i upgraded to beta7, installed youtube plug in: same thing i get audio no video for youtube videos as well. I completly removed canola (used the canola-cleaner thingy) an reinstalled. Still same problem Any suggestions ?

Initial Feedback:

1. The plug-in is awesome.
2. I'm noticing some issues of video/audio being out of sync.
(for example, search for 'toxic', and select #2 'Yael Naim - Toxic'). Within 20 secs or so, it was totally out of sync (at least in full screen).

3. Any chance we can get support for High Def youtube videos? Most/all of these can be accessed, simply by adding "&fmt=18" to the end of the youtube url.

4. I see myself downloading a -lot- more video content now... but Canola still doesn't have an easy to use method of telling it to use the external MMC2. I have a nice 8GB card in the slot, which is getting very lonely. How about a GUI config option so I can tell canola where to download youtube/podcasts to?

Thanks

I had a problem with mplayer playing no audio at all. I deleted the .config files via xterm and did a clean install of mplayer. try that

Thanks for the new themes, and the youtube plugin. I rarely watched youtube on my N800; that will change with the new release.

Now for my question/concern: The finger scrolling on my N800 doesn't work very well anymore. It worked fine on beta4, and then I had trouble on beta6 (I never downloaded beta 5). When I have a long list of files or album covers my N800 will respond to the first 1 or 2 "finger scrolls", and then it will only respond erratically. I'm running OS2008 on my N800, and I haven't added any new software recently.

Thanks,
Howard

Hmm didn't help. Thanks anyway. Weird thing so: i uninstalled mplayer to force canola to use the buid in mediaplayer: same thing sound but no video...

The plugin looks very promising...

I think my problem is with mPlayer, but FLV performance is pretty erratic on my n810. More often then not the video studders along at very regular intervals of about a second, and as others have seen looses lipsync.

I've tried going back to the 24 build of mplayer (rather then 26) and that is better, but still far from perfect. CPU use is only at like 25-35% on most of the videos, and they are low res, yet it's far from smooth for me 90% of the time. Randomly it seems to clear up at time(like after I've been in Canola a while if that would make any sense). Anyone else seeing this or should I make a fresh start ?

I guess I should mention I do have all desktop applets shut off and no other apps running.
