1. While playing a video, if a call comes in and after hanging up, the video starts back from the beginning. (I guess that's related to the meta info issue you are referring to. Hope you can figure this out soon as it can get quite annoying. hehehe.)
I'm not sure why it does this. I don't have a sim card in my N950 (the device won't reliably hold a 3g signal), so I haven't tested for this behaviour. I should set the video to pause when a call is received.

I would like an option for this as it can get really annoying it constantly changing orientation while I'm carrying it in my hand while walking etc. I rather it be fixed full screen landscape while playing. (even for task switcher thumbnail)
You can lock the orientation to landscape-only, but the setting is applied across the application, rather than to video playback specifically. I can add another setting easily enough.

I use the title that is reported by the tracker. I can change it to use the filename.

I'm not sure about doing this for all videos in the list simultaneously. Having said that, there are only a few delegates instantiated at any one time, so it shouldn't be too bad. I can set it so the animation only takes place when the view is stationary, so it won't affect scrolling performance.
