I got it to work. It is incredible. Like you said, i have never seen 770 play video clip so well. However, there is a BIG problem. I read people are complaining that the vol is low. Mine the volume is worse than low, there is none! However, it sounds incredibly loud and clear when connected to my earbuds. And also skype installed and runs but I cannot make it to make call "sound record problem". If I cannot make the audio work, or i have to tie down with a pair earbuds all the time, that is going to be tough. I am going to make the bootmenu work, see whether I can have 2008He on the flash and 2007He on the mmc.........I read there is wifi problem....

Edit: success, now I have 2008He on intflash boot and 2007He on mmc boot, instructions here, http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...800#post182800.

No wifi problem, i encountered so far a problem with Bluetooth (maemo-pan) related to dbus and a problem with Canola, also related to dbus. Quite annoying though.

Then there's the volume. In my tests i learned that it is not related to the backends or codecs you use, because it always sounds okay in headphones and garbled in speaker. You can make it somewhat louder using ao=sdl and afm=libmad, but not very high and still garbled (not as much as with dspmp3), okay in earbuds otherwise.

Maybe fanoush can tell us more on that?

Didn't test Skype calling till now.

EDIT: Fixed the Canola problem - the atabake mplayer backend is checking osso_software_version to see what OS it is on, acting accordingly - that effectively leading to atabake receiving EOS (end of stream) and not playing video files. Put this in /etc/osso_software_version:

Code:

SU-18_2007HACKER_4.2007.46-3_PR_MR0

to get videos running in Canola. Another good thing is that Canola is using omapfb on 770 (maybe xv is too slow) and the videos run okay (not sure if they have tearsync though). So if you have N800 and you want to get Canola running faster and with less CPU - you can try the same (not sure if it will work. Some official support by the Canola guys of the tearsync kernel (maybe tearsync is disabled in slave) will be great though.

In /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf add this row:

Code:

subcp=[your-code-page]

For instance for cyrillic windows-1251/cp1251 use this:

Code:

subcp=cp1251

Not a very good advice. It is better to use '/home/user/.mplayer/config' instead. If you modify '/etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf', you will have troubles when upgrading mplayer.

Heh, yeah, but in some cases mplayer effectively ignored the user config, so i prefer using the main config. Not sure when this happens, probably in slave mode.

It can probably ignore settings when you run mplayer as root. Probably adding a symlink into '/root/.mplayer' that would point to '/home/user/.mplayer' can prevent this from happening. But if there are some (other) problems, it's better to track them down and fix.

If global configuration file is edited, application manager gets confused once you try to install mplayer update (it does not know if you want to keep your modified file or take a clean version from .deb package or merge the changes). So everything fails in a not very user friendly way. If you upgrade mplayer from xterm, you see all the errror messages of course and know what's happening. But inexperienced users who generally use application manager only, will be extremely confused

What is the command line for audio delay? I have tried various combinations and still did not get it right. I want audio delay = 0. For the time being, i use the OSD to adjust for each and single time. TIA,
