    Hi Diego,

    I think that's a great idea! When is a good time for you to have
    a meeting? Set a time and those who can attend will?


    Maybe the meeting could be at 3pm UTC time this Tuesday (12th
    March), we can meet at irc #ubuntu-touch to share the hangout
    link and whoever is there and is interested can join.


    Cheers,
    Daniel

        Hi all,

        First, I do think we should move the discussion away from
        here, so I'm off to the teams mail list from now on. I just
        sent out a mail, which I pasted below.

        Michael, I agree with you that we should probably be
        talking now first hand and writing it down. See the mail below.

        Zisu, agreed. Its better if we try to work together instead
        of having all these different projects. At least in the
        beginning. Although I might say that I want a separated
        music and video player. But remote things sounds nice.
        Using mod this would be easier.

        And about Umedia, I'm thinking about reusing, almost
        porting, the whole thing for this project. But this is a
        discussion for the team.


        Hi, I'm the one who did UMedia, so let me know and maybe i
        can speed up things if we found another design that fits
        better for the phone or something, because i already know
        the qml and c++ code of that project, maybe we can arrange a
        kind-of-meeting via IRC or hangout or something to talk
        about this and move forward.

        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.
