Yes Nokia is a large company, but they probably provide poor connectivity/hardware to the ITT division.
Everyone seems to think the problems we are having are due to all the activity on OS2008 inundating the Nokia servers. Does anyone know for sure? Is there firsthand knowledge? A company as big as Nokia would have fixed the problem a long time ago but the problem persists

So did it work for you? If so, where are you downloading the covers from? Maybe now you could help me 
I've also got a folder full of .jpgs for the cover art.Thanks

I know this may piss of some people, but I (say that because that is my job in the project) want to keep it as simple as possible and with less button as possible.
BUT we do acknowledge that the problem exists.. and we will fix it the best wy possible!
Thanks for the suggestions

So what happens if you are plugged into your PC via USB. Then you copy some files to the Canola watched folders from the PC to the tablet?
I had to un-mark and then re-mark the folder as watched to get C2 to notice the changes.
Your description seems to confirm that these files would be missed.
Actually, it is worse than this because if you leave the tablet connected via USB you cannot navigate to sub-folders when you go to "Settings". Simply unmarking and re-marking the top-level folder "Internal Card", say, does not refresh the underlying marked folders so you have to disconnect and navigate down to the target folder.
Where do I post a bug?
The bug should be posted here :

Thanks in advance!

Don't add buttons or anything, just pretend there is an imaginary line that splits the screen, on left side you scroll, the right side allows for click and play. Then wouldn't have to add nothing on the UI, and it would function better.
Or better yet make it like a link on webpage were have to click on the text, and every else is scroll.

I grabbed the 2 script files that were linked in this thread. moved them to home/user then ran the command. I think it grabs them from amazon.com.... only about 60% of the albums have covers. but I guess thats good enough.. for now.. at least untill I figure out how to manualy add cover art.
now I'm trying to get the video thumbs to work.. but thats not that important....

I know this probably may sound too much for you, but believe some users will just not get it, and we want to be able to provide the best way.. so we will iterate upon our options and pick up the best one!
But don't worry.. a good solution will come =)

You said the text. Ok, not a problem, but imagine the guy having a video called
1.avi the smallest hit area ever : /
But Im thinking how to place a safe scroll (this can be optional) and then the "this songs optional touch space"
=)
I will try to post some solutions on my blog

Hei =) We are always here =) And we were even more sad then the users with this repository problem. Why? simply because after so much work, so much problem... we finally made it.. and then BAM the repos goes down. But it happens, we are really cheering for them to fix it.
I personally asked permission to open a alternative repository, but I think people already did it,
So, we do have interest in everything in this working perfectly but its beyond our hands.
