Mail:
Hi everyone and welcome,
I think we should start of my deciding what we want this application
to be. So I propose that everyone, who'd like, write down what
features they want, and then we discuss these features and if we all
agree with therm, create a blueprint and a goal.
Features for the first release is primary focus, but features for
later versions are welcome too, of course.
What I want the player to do:
* play music tracks of a diverse container from local device.
* pause track, and use previous and next track.
* being able to shuffle
* Scrabble tracks
* use slider to move quickly in the track
* download and show album art automatically.
* use playlists,create and edit them.
* sort by artist, album and track
* sound menu for global management.
These are the features I could imagine for later on :
* support for upnp
* for ampache
* groveshark/spotify.
* YouTube support
* lyrics
Please share your ideas and create a base of our development.
Cheers,
Daniel

Guys,
I'm really new to QML and am still figuring out a lot of
stuff, so my code is not beautiful..
May I say hold your horses until we find a suitable architecture
for both the backend and the frontend? Mybalsamiq should probably
do it for both, and we can more easily follow discussions for each
over there.
For the backend side of things, I quite like mpd side of things
rather than plugging in to the low-level gstreamer. We should
sketch out a structure for it.
For the front-end side of things, I think we should probably wait
for Canonical to publish their application and see where we can
take it from there, but we can definetely brainstrom until then.
I see some nice ideas regarding remote control. We should probably
think about integrating controlling something with the phone and
maybe having the phone plugged into the tv and allowing it to be
controller (maybe a bluetooth keyboard).
Also, we need to sort out the level of integration between the
Music Player and the Video player. I would quite like to see a
very integrated manner. Maybe even have them as one: Player (like
VLC).
Akash, what do you mean by global control? I'm thinking the
same kind of global media buttons as in the sound indicator,
is that what you mean?
Someone asked a really interesting question regarding global
control. The way Ubuntu currently doess it is through DBus,
displaying play/pause and next track in the Sound menu. However,
it seems like they have become more like settings controls in
Ubuntu Phone and I am not entirely sure how they will look in
14.04. Maybe someone in Canonical can enlighten us on this issue?
My thought on this is, use the same pattern, as it goes nicely
with the other menus, like Messeging and the like.

I'm not exactly sure what's the process for setting up such
projects, but
seems ok for me. I'll ask Michael Hall if its ok to proceed
with this.
I think there are some interesting ideas in this thread alread
and we should
start writing them down somewhere to decide what we want/need.
Also this thread is growing quite big and I agree that it
would make sense to
move to a separate mailing list.
