Canola Media Player in action.

I keep using the word "slick" to describe Canola's release this evening. I haven't read a single piece of documentation yet and am already enjoying it. If I could get it to do more than detect (and actually share) my iTunes library, I'd be in business. Time for me to crack open the docs and see what this thing can really do.

Can't wait to see it in action? Here's a video I made and dropped on YouTube:


READ THE COMMENTS of this post to get some good usage hints from Gustavo of the Canola team and others!

It can do Itunes, but just the version 6. Nobody did interoperate with Itunes7 protocol :-(

Use the icons Dude...

Usage hints:
- use your fingers!
- use the on screen 'buttons', the button on the left side (the one that scrolls from middle on the first screen to left on the folder/player) goes to home.

See our wiki for more hints: https://garage.maemo.org/plugins/wiki/index.php?id=125&type=g

Yeah, unfortunatelly itunes 7 shares do not work with canola yet. Apple changed the protocol auth mechanism from itunes 6 to 7 and this has broken all softwares but itunes 7 :(.

Any news, i will let you know.

hi again (after some hours I'm alive)
So, please do it, the car thing. We have played a lot with it, how canola would fit in a car, or even for the kids to consume media in the backseat if some pre install a 770 in the fronseat back.

We also have some more nice things for cars & 770 users coming, and I will for sure contact you to use it first if that's ok with you!

again, thanks for the video it showed me how people really use it. After some months developing it you just don't know how people will really behave with it.

Best regards from Brazil and the INDT team behind Canola,
