Well I wish I had a QA department With current set of resources we'd never had a release if we kept on testing and even then we wouldn't find all the problems... Alas, but we're doing the work that Sharp (a huge corporation) should have done.
Regarding WMV and WMA - it's not very well supported by mplayer, so don't bother trying to play them...
If you don;t like the screensaver applet, just disable it and foget it, everything works even without the screensaver
I just proposed to be the damn department. Let me know if you want help. I just love nitpicking (I do UI design as a side job with a friend, and he's slowly come to hating me on the job).
I thought WMA and WMV were supported because of the feature list on the Kino page.
DivX and XviD still won't play for me though As I said, I can mail you a couple of testing video's. I thought you used ffmpeg as your decoding lib? That should handle WMV/Xvid/etc just fine, last time I checked.
For some reason, mplayer drops quite a few more frames in Rotated Mode (the one mode you're likely to use on a C860 given its landscape orientation). In portrait, it's buttter smooth though Maybe the mplayer rotate algo is sucky, but you can't be blamed for that now can you
or perhaps make it automatic - so when you choose to make a connection via PPP to a mobile then it turns it's self on.
That's possible with the up/down scripts for the PPP link. It's much more non-trivial to do it depending on actual traffic.
About the applet: my problems are much more about the lack of integration than with with applet itself. It'd be nice not to have the "about" box in the context menu, to be able to dynamically enable/disable the SS from there, things like that. But you have to be realistic: you're fixing something that someone else screwed up, and you're doing as best a job you can. The lack of proper integration stems from your "Let's fix this crap" attitude, which is very much in line with what most users want. It's just penalizing when you want to rework something, and you end up with something that's quite complex.
