[Bug 1523407] Re: Playlist support in vivid+overlay and Xenial is different/non compatible

 

Another thing to be noted is that there have been big landings to vivid-
proposed in media-hub etc that would need to be ported to xenial. The
current patch in xenial Qt 5.5 is what has been upstreamed so far and it
is fairly close to current vivid-overlay (but lacks moveItem and a
couple of other small bits that are not yet merged in upstream). The
previous patch in xenial was the older patch that is no longer
compatible with either vivid-overlay or upstream.

The moveItem among else will only be in Qt 5.7 so backports to both Qt
5.4 and 5.5 (vivid-overlay/xenial) will need to take that into
consideration too probably.

Title:
  Playlist support in vivid+overlay and Xenial is different/non
  compatible

Status in Canonical System Image:
  New
Status in qtmultimedia-opensource-src package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  qtmultimedia-opensource-
  src-5.4.1/debian/patches/add_qdeclarative_playlist.patch says

  +        qmlRegisterType<QDeclarativePlaylist>(uri, 5, 4, "Playlist");

  while qtmultimedia-opensource-src-5.5.1/debian/patches/Added-new-
  playlist-QML-type.patch (as per silo 12) says

  +        qmlRegisterType<QDeclarativePlaylist>(uri, 5, 6, "Playlist");

  This is not a good idea, we should keep the imports to the same level
  as we decide to support them, even if the support was not official
  doing this makes it harder to have a codebase that works fine in both
  vivid+overlay and xenial.

  Also the xenial patch seems to be missing some things like
  QDeclarativePlaylist::moveItem
