Canola plays photo & audio podcasts at same time

[MikeL]

Thought it worth recording in the TVersity Nokia 770 forum that the Canola media player actively supports the playback of audio i.e. an mp3 podcast whilst also playing a photocast at the same time!

Anyone familiar with current UPnP media serving will know that this is not currently possible with existing pure UPnP equipment/software.

I have been playing around today listening to a podcast from the BBC whilst viewing my own Flikr photcast and found Canola reasonably stable. Please note: This is achieved because Canola goes and gets the feeds from the Internet directly without an intermediary. (feed URL's added to it's own config interface)

Now because TVersity can be used to transcode un-supported formats to supported I was wondering if it could serve/transcode audio and photo feeds to Canola at the same time? This would be a great advantage as the Nokia with Canola is not exactly high powered so TVersity providing audio and photos at Nokia/Canola supprted format optimums would be neat!

It was great listening to a podcast, whilst viewing a photcast

Yes TVersity does support serving audio and photos to the same device as the same time. It is up to Canola to use this capability.

Great was hoping you would say that, I will prompt them and test with existing version of Canola as perhaps it already works
