Re: Music app.

 

Hi again,

I've started to code on this application now. I don't know if I should set up a separate project on Launchpad, or what?
It's just a little piece of the UI, but hey - it's a start ;)

I'd like some pointers since this is my first application.

Hi again,

What a response! Wonderful!

I was thinking of Rhythmbox since its bundled with Ubuntu as default.
And you'll have the same playlists, settings for eg. Last.fm and such
things.

I'd love to see this becoming the default music app in Ubuntu Touch,
and I'd gladly share the work with anyone wanting to join.

I'll try to create a UI demo in Qt Creator later this week, so I can
show you how I imagine it. Also I'd happily join the meeting.

What about using MPD as a backend? May be less resource intensive as a
backend, shouldn't have a problem compiling as is, and possibly
simpler to build your interface from scratch on top of MPD instead of
trying to work with rhythmbox's.

V.I.

Hi all,

I'm thinking about creating a music application. I'm in an early
stage of learning to code for QML to begin with, but I have some
concerns for the future.

I'm thinking about creating an application that really uses Rhythmbox
as an backend, but using $ rhythmbox-client. Since its Ubuntus
default music player, I mean.
So just a easy UI with buttons for previous, next track, play/pause,
stop, playlist and so on. Press a button and a flag to
rhythmbox-client is sent.

What are you guys' thoughts on this? Is it possible to have rhythmbox
running in the background instead of writing a completely new music
player?
